The really annoying thing about uni .....

...is when you are quite happily floundering as normal waiting for yr tutors to wander to you... (seems reasonable .. right... as they have stated that they will split the group and come to everyone in turn...)  So yr quite happily embroidering an apple on a branch,  cos they recently introduced you to this...,  and out of the mist.. A tutor appears... given that they have pulled up a seat with all yr near neighbours... you smile somewhat stupidly but expectantly at an adjacent pew, which they proceed to ignore whilst hovering, intent on escape and muttering.... ahhh ... laura... yr ok aren't you...  Errrr... No!   Arent I paying £4000 per year to not be skipped past .

So when you mutter .... not really... they then hover for just a few seconds longer and then vanish once more into the mist....

It really wasnt worth leaving my bed for....

And now I have to leave my bed again... for a tutorial :(  (I do hope it last for more than 2 minutes...)

Reading Week.............

Well Im still being textiles... I shall post some on here soon...
Its reading week at the mo.... translation half term, havent been in at all... but surprisingly I have done some  work.

Not by choice of course, but we have to hand in a draft of our essays, on Tuesday next,  So it seemed a good idea to do some really.  I am appallingly bad at essays but actually don't hate them as much as you would suppose.  I'm also dyslexic, which I wasnt going to tell you about really, but explains my lack of capitals and the occasional missing off of the ends of words, which I think I have typed but haven't.  Being lazy... I'm not terribly fond of re-reading....

Anyway, back to the essay.  It's on a work by John Everette Millais, called Mariana.  Luckily we got to chose, within a timescale.  I'm not allowed to draw Pre-Raphaelite type females at uni,  Not sure why.  But the tutors don't like them or think that I am rubbish at them... which is a shame , because I rather like drawing attractive females as opposed to ugly creatures that apparently are far more contemporary.  I will add one of mine to here, because I like them and this is my blog so I can do what I like on here lol.  Also this is the reason I am doing textiles... I find it hard to create things which i really  dont like .... and ... surprisingly, I am really enjoying embroidery at the moment... You can draw in stitch... wonder if I could get away with drawing a female in stitch.... It could be my transcription. (we have to transcribe the subject of our essay for workshop...)...

Maybe... once i have failed... or scraped through with my essay... I shall post it here... you can see how I'm not good at this...
