Hello, it has been crazy since I last wrote to you all. I may have failed my first assessment, but hopefully I can catch up and redo it or add to it to make it 100% better. I also did my 1940's assessment and passed with flying colours. It's the first time I've ever genuinely been proud of myself and the work that I've done. I used Lauren as my model and we went to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester to take the photos, they came amazingly. See for yourself:
This one has been photoshopped and edited to the standard we need for our portfolios. I think she really fits the bill and looks like she should be in the 40's. I was a model for one of my friends, we too went there and took pictures but the week after. It was so much fun being made up and dressed up. When we got to the museum there were children everywhere waving at me and taking pictures of me, it was so strange having all eyes on me haha. Everyone did really well on this assessment, which is nice.
We also went to Harry Potter World!!!!! OH MY GOSH, I was like a small child all over again. I'm pretty sure my friends were sick of me by the end as I spent the whole time squealing and making them take photos of me with things. Sorry girls.
We drank butterbeer, which tasted strange and not as good as you think it sounds. We got to ride on the Hogwarts Express, we stood on the bridge and in front of Privet Drive. It was a dream come true for me. I could feel my tattoo tingling as I walked past the Maurauders map.
Thanks Hanna, for taking this photo and also letting me drink your butterbeer, much appreciated. It was such a good day, even the coach ride there and back (a total of 8 hours) wasn't too bad. We had music and giggles and it made me realise how lucky I am to have my uni girls!
Then, the sun came out! SHOCKER! So we decided to go to the pub for drinks and lunch, I had sweet potato fries, now I come to think of it, everyone did, pretty sure they ran out of sweet potatoes when we were done with them. It was totally worth it, we had a laugh and a nice chit chat before heading back and doing more work.
These lovely girls have made uni so much more enjoyable and actually made me look forward to going in early in the morning, just so I can spend two days with my friends.
Other then that, nothing much has happened. I've been an adult these past few days and have been going to bed early and getting up at a reasonable time (which is very strange for me), I also bought fruit today... Not sure what's going on with me but I like the change.
I've also been helping my sister with wedding plans, it's all very exciting, I just hope she doesn't put me in a pink bridesmaids dress, that would be sad and definitely not my style.
Today me and Lauren went shopping and bought a few things for our upcoming assessments we have. I have a beautiful model coming in especially for my Director Character Design assessment we have to do. I'm very excited to see the finished look, she'll look very burlesque and scary and old all in one. And before that we have a fairytale assessment, hopefully we will be able to take our photos outside in the woods. That would look amazing. I've made a skirt for this one, my talents are blooming and I'm surprising myself more and more each day. I'm also being a model for Jess, she's turning me into a steampunk snow white which will be so fun to see, she's putting hair extensions in my hair and I'm super excited to see myself with long hair again after having it short for so long!!!
I can't believe we only have 2 months left of uni and then we're done. Two months tomorrow we have to submit our portfolios which is a super scary thought. And then I have to do my second year and start all over again.This is too much adult for me to comprehend!! HELP!!
Hopefully, I can get to France and see my parents for the summer. It would be nice to actually have the chance to get a tan. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, that's it for now.
I'll let you know when something else happens.
Thanks for reading.
