I have just graduated from Newcastle uni, got myself a 2.1 in psychology but realised I just liked living as a student and putting off real life and in fact I don't really know what I want to do so I will just get a job to save some money to go travelling and hopefully enlightenment will find me and I will find out what I really want to do. I'm thinking perhaps teaching at sixth form, for kids who actually "want" to learn, and I did it for a semester in my final year and aside from the module being a shambles, it was one of the most rewarding things I did at uni, as well as learning all about eating disorders and the buzz around them, proper ranted in my exam and came out with a first in it haha.
i tend to seek for parallels with art and myself, as contrived as it may seem, does art imitate life or am I imitating art?'Heaven has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turned, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorned' - William Congreve 'The Mourning Bride'
I associate songs with moments, for a while I couldn't listen to the gcwcf album because it reminded me of harsh times but after summer 07 and all the festivals, it now makes me recall some of the best weekends of my life. I wish I could make music like that. I am learning guitar and have written some material but I am far too self conscious to play it to anyone right now. But hey, I'd rather make music than lattes.* i have been told i am notoriously bad at compromising *
* i don't play competitive sport cos i don't like losing *
* the only thing i have ever failed is my theory test and i was gutted
* i love to do art but never make myself time for it *
* i'm going travelling sometime next year, if i find anyone to go with, its the best thing i will ever do *
* i thought i had a life plan til i realised it just wasn't me, so now i have no idea what i'm gonna do *
* i wish i had learnt to play a musical instrument at school, and that trumpet lessons didn't clash with art lessons! *
* i fall for people far too easily and it is hardly ever mutual, especially cos i either get really shy or talk crap at a million words a second *
* i love goin to the warehouse on saturday nights, that dj in there basically plays my music collection all night and i just dont stop dancing for hours *
* I LOVE HATS and i can't help but keep collecting new ones *
* i like beady jewellery, i prefer it to posh gold stuff anyday especially if its handmade *
* i have strange cravings for olives i don't know why but i can get through a whole jar haa gross i know *
* i can't stand smoking at all, it disgusts me even though most of my friends are smokers and i am SO glad the smoking ban is in *
* I LOVE MUSIC, and going to as many gigs as i can. see the calendar down there... its where all my money goes. i've been called a bit of an obsessive as i've seen sunshine underground 9 times, get cape wear cape fly 6 times, maccabees 6 times... but i have yet to see death cab, thats my aim *
