<-- I am in.

<-- I am also in. Woohoo!
I have exams coming up. I'm scared as hell. I'm trying to decide whether it would be OK to my finances if I go sit somewhere and do my filing whilst eating coffee and cake. It's near the end of term and I don't want to dip into the reserves.
I lost my sketchpad the other day. A guy left a note in it which told me I wasn't that good. He signed it off with 'Love you'. Peculiar person. I wasn't offended - there were some good drawings in that sketchpad, and I bet he was no artist. Bah.

I found some WH Smiths vouchers the other day. I got them for Christmas. I'm proud of myself in that I ignored all the DVDs - including ones I've wanted for ages - and bought some watercolour pencils, another pencil sharpener, some artists' pencils, an eraser and a ruler. Because I know what I'll get if I buy the Chronicles of Narnia or Spider-man - exactly that. But if I buy some pencils and pens, there's no limit to what I can do.
I don't really think of myself as an artist - but then, that's the beauty of it. I don't have to. I can just do what I want to do, draw what I want to draw. And I'll improve. It's wonderful.
The compulsory farewell meeting (last entry) was great, by the way. The free food was very nice indeed.
