Canadian Rant

So, I have finally gotten some help from Concordia University, where I am meant to be going on exchange. I've been told how to register for classes BUT (and it is a BIG, HUGE, rather MASSIVE 'BUT') I can't register for any classes, even the ones I have been approved for in my original acceptance.

There are a few problems;

1. all but ONE art history class is full (FUCK)
2. the one that is not full says that I am not approved for it, therefore cannot study 19th C Art/Architecture.
3. My 3rd Year french class is not letting me regiser (even though I was approved for it) because I haven't completed the prerequs at Concordia, even though I just got a Distinction for French 3A here in SA.
4. Even if I get into French and 19th C Art/Arch, it's still not enough as I only have 2 subjects, and I need to have 4 unless I want to start paying back my scholarship/being uni-less while away.

So, the word I am looking for is FUCK! as in; I am ~ed

I think I am going to draw the pain away. Time to find a sketchbook and pencil...

Bastille Day and Brain Waves

I am home from 10 days in Perth and my creative juices are flowing beyond belief. If 10 days in Perth gives me more to do than I have time for, than maybe going to the US and Canada is not the best idea, I may go even more insane while I am over there with a creativity overload.

I wrote a story about earrings while I was on the flight home. I like it :-) I may post it later. I also designed many more earrings, which I will post here once they are actually made (this weekend for sure)

Tomorrow, more creativity abounds as does lots of French music and croissants (because it will be bastille day). My friends and I are going to

• Shop for earring/brooch bits
• Stretch a sari into a canvas
• Buy new moleskine sketchbooks (the coloured kraft paper cover kind... the big ones!)

Very Exciting! I even have an outfit picked out. (V. french, for Bastille Day)

I also began chopping up a mass of vintage scarves to make big flower brooches and hairclips and list them on my Etsy page, once I get one. Julia (my sister), loves them, I'm a fan too. It's good to find a use for scarves I no longer wear. Lots of poppies, my favourite.

Also loved Coco Avant Chanel.

So, all that's left now are the photos of my first run of acrylic jewellery.

Wow, what a disjointed and maniacal entry, kind of like my scattered mind... too many ideas!
