procrastinating...again

I don't remember how I got to this blog but WOW...amazing

I am procrastinating, can you tell? Arrrgggh!

I had a massage today, I am so extremely tense and have been so anxious and although it was nice I couldn't relax 100%. A guy massaged me, and I was so worried when I had my arms hanging that he was going to rest 'something' on my arm PLUS he had really bad garlic breath. My mum says that my nose is extra sensitive to smells and odours, I don't know if that is the case but man o man was he strong. He kept saying "It ok Miss?" oh bless him, still thinking I am a Miss ;)



One of the photos for my photography 'magazine' layout. It ok? :P

I am so behind..these photos were taken on Saturday, we went to a park and froze to death. It was so cold I felt the air go through my jumper! still, it was a lovely break from the usual.

I've been extremely busy with uni work, fortunately though next week it is all over and I'm stressing quite a bit and rushing to get everything done. Don't know how I am going to manage it all though as I am finding it so hard to concentrate. Tomorrow I need to wake up early to photograph some damaged or burnt cars for my final photography assignment. We drove all the way to Heathcote on Sunday looking for some and didn't find any :( fingers crossed I find some decent ones tomorrow.

quick photo post

In the middle of the road

Took some photos today :)

a little busy

I haven't been ignoring you blog in fact I've missed not being able to take photos these last few days and post them here, but I have been busy with my last assessments for the semester. I hope to be free soon...

old cars

Urban decay: my last photography assignment

Rusty car

Lovely trees

I found some old rusty cars at a junk yard...really ancient ones that I would love to have as my own little car. I love the aqua blue ones. My dad bought one when he arrives here in Australia for $50, I wish they were still that price!

Magpies, again

I am so glad the week is over. I didn't end up going to class today and felt a little guilty, but got over that quickly ;) I instead went to pretzel world with Andres and we shared a sweet pretzel...got too sweet though and couldn't eat anymore. I've been feeling a little stressed and needed a break. It wasn't for too long but it was still good.

I bought myself the notebook magazine. They always have lovely recipes and crafts and this issue came with these gorgeous crochet projects from Michelle Kludas I love the 'grandma's cup of tea garland' and hopefully when I have a little more time will try make it. I'm still new to crochet but her tutorials look really easy to follow. Check her blog out, she is amazing.

photomedia

Photomedia class today, the one subject I want to do exceptionally well in I am just getting passes. Today we got back our B&W shots and again just a pass, I am just so guttered and just feel like curling up into a ball and disappearing. So I wait till after tutorial and say to her that I am not happy with my results and she says I can re-submit. So that is the plan, who knows maybe this time I can stuff up even bigger haha.

I ended up going to the local shops after uni and bought myself a creme brulee from Gloria Jeans, I needed a little coffee to pick me up. I also picked up the daily telegraph to see the damage the new budget is going to cause & a movie....'Did you hear about the Morgans?' I need to stop thinking about homework, assessments and uni for a while. I hope the movie doesn't suck though.

I'm too depressed to post photos. Maybe later when I snap out of this mood.

Edit:



I didn't get too much daylight left when I ventured out. I swear the magpies are following me, they know they scare me.

presents

Our cat Pepe up a tree...he is such a poser.



One of my mother's day presents. It was from my daughter who complained that she didn't like the flower she made. I told her I love it and hung it on my little board. I guess she gets that from me and she has made me realise I have got to stop being so critical of myself as she is always looking and listening.

Three weeks left of uni! I don't know how I am going to get through it. My mother is going to have a mastectomy and I hope it is not during this time.

mother's day weekend

I have started typing this for a while and keep deleting, my words just aren't coming out right. I don't know how to start it nor how to say this. It is mother's day tomorrow here in Australia and we found out on Friday that my mother has breast cancer. My mother is calm, for the moment. It is still early but she will require an operation, either a mastectomy or removal of the cancer with chemo. What was the most awful thing was she didn't tell any of us, she didn't want to worry us. Mother's are weird like that. The only thing she is worried about and asked the specialist was that if this would pass down to us girls. Always the mother even in times when she ought to be thinking about herself.

street photography

Eeeep!! getting closer to the finish line. I am happy but so busy at the same time. I should be working hard but I need distractions every now and then. My email inbox is starving and so very lonely and it looks like it will be like that for a while. I don't know where has everyone gone? and more importantly, why wasn't I invited?

it is the simple things

I got the sweetest card from a dear internet friend in the mail today. It made my day! funny how the simplest thing in life can cheer you up and make you smile.

bad day
