Toxic Jam

Summer...

I am back in Essex again for a few weeks, on the boarder this time at my mums new place. I miss being in Leicester, but have had alot of spare time here. I've been doing alot of thinking. Mainly about my abilities and how i think the course is going to progress in the next two years. My grades were Ok, except for drawing. So I've spent quite alot of time practicing. I started to model a tyranid, but didn't get very far...

I'm not happy with the armor plates, they are supposed to be organic, but it looks like I've just glued them on... *sigh*

Alot of my time has been occupied by reading. Ive just finished reading the first novel in a two-part series by Joe Abercombie called 'the blade itself', it was a fantastic book, i could barely put it down. I finished the final harry potter book about a week ago, it didn't start gripping me till about two thirds through. It doesn't really get me like it used to.

I have also been writing a story, i will probably post it up here when I'm done, its only short.

I can't wait for September, as i am in much need of the next loan instalment. I had a job in Leicester, but unforeseen circumstances meant i had to return to Essex, so i am broke. I am also in desperate need of new glasses, which has caused me to run up a small debt with my brother. My other glasses got stolen (they were in my bag) when our house in Leicester was robbed a few weeks ago.

Due to more unforeseen circumstances, i must go to Devon this Friday, but shortly after i should be returning to Leicester.

A couple of quotes that have been significant to me this summer...
