I know I promised a photo of the chair, but I get to complete it this weekend and will put a photoset up instead.

Today was better than yesterday at least, I'm not such a grump. We had a math test, which my teacher decided he'd turn up an hour late for. I feel confident that I didn't fail, and there was only 1 question I couldn't answer.



<Had my hair in buns today but there was excess hair, so I plated there rest. I quite like it.

Eeep

With my cut fringe that I did last week. It's growing on me now.

I FOUND THE CHAIR. I went to an op shop coming home from uni today because I spotted some furniture outside the shop while I was driving past. It exactly how I wanted it and the seat is cushy, so I wont have to be replacing it. I only spent $20 (I could have bought a cheaper one, but I liked this one more). I will upload some images of it tomorrow.

I can finally get started on my DIY project. Now to get some fabric and paint, so I can decorate after I've sanded it back and fixed the footing (slight chipping). AAH I'm so excited.

On another note, got another part of my major assignment back today. I did much better than I thought and turns out that I was freaking out that I didn't do enough for nothing, I DID TO MUCH, ahah. But I still got 11.5 out of 15. Now I have to start with my essay which is due in 2 weeks. Wish me luck!!

Great thing about my course is great stuff like this, got my iPad at collection today. I've already set up a few things and am trying to find a few worthwhile apps to put on it.

Ideas

Massive DIY plan ahead.

Since getting my desk for my room I have been meaning to get a chair for it. I currently have a gas lift chair that I'm borrowing from another room in the house and its waaaaay to big for my room. I want to see if I can get a second hand wooden chair with padding on the base and on the back so that I can reupholster it with black velvet. I want to sand back the chair and add some extension on to it before painting it a colour, haven't decided what yet, I may just go for black to match with the velvet but I will see when I compare colour swatches and choose then. I'm really excited for this to start happening.

As for uni, all is going smoothly. I have already had my first assessment and test, and managed to pass on both. I have a major assigment coming up soon, so I should start planning what I will be doing soon so I don't get to far behind. I also get my iPad this week. Which means I will have something to be able to efficiently take notes with considering my laptops battery is broken and wont work without the charger BUHUH.

A vlog will be up sometime during the week.

I stopped putting it off and finally bought myself a task, with my impending work load its seemed like the right time to do it. I had to depart with one of my bookshelves though to make room for it, just glad that its big enough to hold some of the stuff so I wont have to re-home those either.

Also since the last time I uploaded a picture of myself here my hair has grown quite a bit, I'm thinking of cutting my fringe again but maybe have it all layered, the bottom half is still shaved off so you can imagine how thick my hair would be if I still had it.

Uni

I have finished my first week of Uni. So far it seems really good, the work doesn't seem that hard and from what my teachers and lecturers are saying it seems that I'd be able to cope with the work that I would be doing so long as I focus, study and don't leave things to the last moment. I've met a few nice people already so I'm hoping that next week I'll get to know some more people and the place better. I'm excited!

School/UNI

Looks like I'll be getting into University after all. I originally wanted to do art, but got into science instead. Doing a diploma in science, a Bachelor in science and Masters of secondary teaching. After those 4 years are finished I will do a bachelor in fine arts. It sounds like so much work to be done but ehhhhh.

Traveling down to Adelaide soon, to spend time with family because we just lost a member. Its proving difficult because of the timing, around christmas and new years.
