Feeling really happy right now. I've finished my lab work, I'm on holiday. Niiice.

Managed to finish the painting of my granny for her christmas. It's not quite my usual way of doing things. I knew I would be short on time so I avoided acrylics, which I love using to get lots of detail but which take a bloody age, and went for gouache. Good decision. I hope she likes it.

I have the enormous task of revising for my bitch of an exam in January and writing my thesis for February, but I'm not letting that trouble me at the moment. I'm going to enjoy christmas and take my revision with me for when I get bored at home. The great thing about being in fourth year is that we're used to getting dealt shit and having to make the best of it we can. Getting through next semester is going to be hard but I have a better mindset- I want to graduate so badly now. It helps.


Merry Christmas.x
