Long Time No See

Hi

Haven't even thought to update in a while. Lots has happened. I passed my Driving test. I now have a full UK driving licence. I have been put on the press and publicity section of our college's fashion show committee. Birthdays are coming up and been. Mine is this week.

One thing that has been really bugging me since I got my licence is the constant question of when I'm going to get a car. Right at this point in time I cant justify the cost of a car. I'm in the middle of the college year for a creative course which is expensive in terms of buying fabrics and such anyway and I have the possibility that I'll be moving away next year for university. My Dad won't stop talking about it and it's really getting on my nerves. Until I know what I'm doing in terms of university I can't even think about a car. It's not even an option.

Now that I have that out of the way and off my chest on to happier subjects. Glasgow Clyde College, previously Cardonald College, Fashion Textiles course is organising a fashion show and I'm one of the people delegated to organising press and publicity. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I'm good with computers. Just this morning I managed to save my tablet from a never-ending boot-loop of death. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in. Unfortunately I can't really do anything till the venue people organise the times and dates and things. Once they've done that I can start to publicise the event. At the moment we haven't even got a name but it's coming. I think we're considering Regeneration. Fundraising was suggested to be put on hold till after we get a venue but I thought that wasn't a good idea. If the Venue required a deposit we'd be stuck.

In college feeling really nice and calm. I need to post on my college blog as I now have a working camera after my camera pins for the memory card broke and my phone is doing some strange thing I can't even explain. I need to send it back to the insurance company anyway because the screen is smashed.

This week was both my best friend's birthday, whom I haven't seen yet, and my twin brothers birthday. I saw both of them yesterday along with my Dad, his wife and my youngest little brother. I got the boys the Hunger Games trilogy and a trivia game called Beat the Parents. My birthday's on Friday so I was thinking of asking my best friend if she wants to go to see Catching Fire next week.

The last time I went to the cinema with my friend we went to see Sunshine on Leith which is based on the music of the Proclaimers. I still can't get the songs out of my head. I actually prefer the movie versions of the songs to the Proclaimers.
I also went to see Andrea Borcelli with my Gran which was really great in the new Glasgow Hydro. It was maxed out and we were right in the back row but we could still hear him really well. We couldn't see very good as there was one big screen but the others were pretty small. I really enjoyed the night.
