Day 143.

Today has been a bit frustrating.
I felt bad that Moon's exam went badly yesterday, but also as though I had to bear the brunt of it, luckily he got it mostly off his chest by the time he came back from the library this afternoon, so I feel a bit better now.
I spent the afternoon hunting out work for the summer, there is a lot, just in places like Manchester and Newcastle, but I'm going to keep looking, I've sent my CV off to a local portrait studio and Vice, fingers crossed I have something coming my way for summer.
There was an awesome-sounding job abroad, which I was fine with but it was for muddled months, so I left it alone.
A new CV is also what this afternoon went on, I'm not quite sure where this day has gone, oh well.

Day 7.

I have actually done work today, but should really be ashamed of myself because I only spent half an hour on it and the rest of the day trying to watch the Dogme95 movie, 'Julien Donkey-Boy' (wouldn't recommend it to anyone btw, it's awful) and finally finding and watching Grey Gardens (1975), it's such a good documentary, it makes me completely in love with the idea of being so rich but so filthy and lacking in common sense and I love their voices.
Out of what I've taken today, I think I like this best, would probably get rid of the glare from my teapot lampshade, but that's it, if the idea of this is to sum up the day, this pretty much does it. I also like that Edie on my laptop matches the figure in the Taylor-Wessing Portrait Prize catalogue.
I wanted tomorrow to be more productive, but I think I will be forced to go even more stir-crazy as it's meant to snow from 4am tomorrow morning until 2am the following morning, but we'll see how that goes. There is actually a bread-shortage now.
