Day 333.

I'm feeling quite inspired today, but I'm not really sure what I would use this for, so it's going here.
I think it's because of finally getting my half-Chinese portrait taken.

Day 242.

So the medicine I mentioned last week didn't work, I went to the doctor again this morning, and it turns out there is actually something wrong with me, I have some kind of throat virus. I've been given an inhaler, I don't know how to use it properly, I've had two doses and I'm still not sure. I think it has something to do with not smoking.
I also got my hair cut, it looked pretty nice, but is now very flat, yes I'm talking about hair and how I'm not pleased with it right now. It will look shit-hot tomorrow though.

Day 238.

If it wasn't August, and I was wearing a scarf and boots, this would be the perfect autumn/winter outfit. I'm very happy with it, I just wish it wasn't the appropriate weather for it today. My mum took my sister for dim sum this morning, I was so full, I had to have a little sleep. Check out my sweet horse cardigan ♥

More teeth stuff today, my teeth bled, thanks hygienist, here have £50. Urgh, I'm in two minds now, my teeth feel great but I think the pain was far too much for me.

Day 231.

I went on a quest to buy birthday presents for my Gran today. I also picked up this wonderful cushion, I could actually marry it, I love it so much ♥. I've also got some medicine to fix my cough, but we'll see how that works out.

Day 155.

So I took these photos and came up with this idea. I quite like it and think it's worthy of a creative 365 image.
I've finally found a use for this mask after all this time, I want to buy a few more and use them in some kind of huge photo shoot, the other one I got snapped...

Day 133.

Today, I am feeling fussy.
House-hunting this afternoon was a bit of a miss and I'm getting a bit worried about it, one house we saw was worse than a tip and the other one was split into two houses, with no one who wanted to answer the door.
This is me with my circle lenses in, pretty 'azn', ha. I also got some purple ones that I wore out last night, they work pretty well if my pupils are massive, otherwise my natural eye colour is shown underneath.
I'm unsure where to place myself now that I have no work to do, I guess start thinking about packing. :(

Day 131.

This is Chris with his work for an exhibition for his Music and Sound Technology course. It feels good to make someone else pose in front of their work for a change. I'm threatening to give this to his mum.

Day 98.

Moon had two nosebleeds today, one in the middle of shopping just after lunch, it was so inconvenient.
It is the second of his two days off of the whole holiday, he's spent the rest of the time working, wish I had had the motivation to be that way, I probably would have finished everything ages ago, but I'll be going back to Portsmouth still having lots to do.

Day 54.

I got an initial test shoot down for my final brief.
I bumped into Andy on the way to the studio to meet Moon and chanced it and he said he'd stand in, it was a good job too because it was a while before our model for the Sunday supplements piece showed up.
I think I have a better idea of what kind of spread I want to do, I just need to find a magazine that would use me, I'm thinking Vice but for me, that's a bit obvious, plus I'm not 100% on how mainstream the magazine has to be.
I got a few good shots, but it was mainly a test run, helping me gain more confidence in using the studio, and aside from needed a little bit of help with the light metering, it's quite fluid once it gets going.
I think I need more fashion magazines, this is getting expensive, I've bought around 10 magazines so far...

Day 44.

Today has been quite stressful, so I am quite glad it's coming to an end.
I was up so early and went into Uni only to find out that my lecture was actually 2-5pm, only they hadn't told us. So I met up with my sister and my Gran briefly before going back.
The lighting lecture was pretty fun in the end, plus it resulted in this pretty sweet photo of Joe McGorty, our new lecturer. I'm beginning to really enjoy everything a lot more now, and our next project for this overall unit looks awesome, we're shooting an actress/actor or sport star for a Sunday paper editorial, we've got two weeks to plan it and we get to choose and style our models, who probably won't be real stars we'll work our magic, so by the end of the shoot, they well be, obviously.
