Strand Looper

First and foremost, I apologise for the long absence. Been really busy and I wanted to get all the photos from my long weekend ready before I posted them.

So here they are: there will be many more coming.

Can't remember if I said this already, but I got one of my albums featured on onesmallseed!

An entire album!

Also got another photo featured today, it's starting to sound a bit like a bad joke. 

Matric is killing me sideways and I thought that was drowning...

on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

BUT

tomorrow is the last day of school and then its prelims, which surprisingly I prefer over school any day.

Oh and AMAZING news! I mean AWESOME!! 

I got accepted into Rhodes for Fine Arts with a major in psychology!!

I am so excited and happy, everything is working out perfectly.

Three Seasons

Here are some photos from the amazing Aghalus National Park we went to over the long weekend.

There will be more coming.

That is all. Live it up.

A Shrinking List

Surprisingly I am managing to decrease the giant list of things to be done. 

It probably sounds lame to say that matric is really hectic and I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown.

When next year I'll probably be saying, "Matric was SO easy compared to this!"

Every year gets to complain about it, so now it's my turn. 

Although I find it amazing that even though we are all stressing for the big finish and the mountain we have to climb to get there, we can still slip each other a smile and laugh till we cry.

I really hope the rest of the year carries on the way it does.

That way I will have something to miss.

People to miss.

Power of Association

* I like captions *

So I have this theory on the power of association. It's really cool and quite self-explanatory. This power can change anything and everything so that a certain object or person can have a completely different meaning to you. 

I fully came to realise this power when I transferred schools back in the D. When I first came to school it was a sea of unfamiliar faces that didn't mean anything to. Seriously... they were just faces, people I might walk past in the mall. 

BUT

After just a few months these faces changed completely. They transformed into objects of meaning, because of association. According to my interaction with a certain individual, my immediate reaction towards them was changed. 

Now when I look across school I see representations of joy, annoyance, scandal, excitement... you get the point. 

Oh and (not that I'm putting myself in a superior position over the human race) but some people really don't inspire confidence and the human race is probably doomed. 

Gross is the new Contemporary

^ Scariest photo I've ever taken ^

Just some casual photos of animal skulls, lungs and stomachs :)
I know its not the most pleasant thing... but I really like these, they repulse yet intrigue.

Anyway, went to Pringle bay with the 'booooiiiis' (part of Alpha course)
Was SHRED fun! So Swag!
Alpha has really helped me with my faith and I've enjoyed it so far.

Also, I realised today that i serious confidence issues and I care WAY too much what people think of. Actually, I always knew that, but I thought it got better.
In some respects yes... but I really hate it when people mess with you Facebook statuses.
Even if your status is made to: "Had a nice day"
I would change it! Purely on the reasoning that it isn't my thoughts. It just feels wrong.
It's like I'm lying to the world. Or maybe I'm just seriously over reacting, which seems to be something I do a lot these days.

I'M DA BES!!

Flamingoes in Jacksonville

*Got featured on Onesmallseed*

Got another photo featured on onesmallseed. Feels pretty cool knowing i'm getting my name out there along with hundreds of other people who get featured. Thank you to my willing sister for jumping in front of the camera for me.

I finally made a decision as to what I'm going to study!

After much deliberation and panic attacks, i tink i made the right choice. I t was inevitable really. In the end, you will choose what you wnated to do in the first place, so why not do that now. So, i have decided to go study Fine Arts next year, with a major in psychology. The best of both worlds, i would say.

I know the art industry is one that people avoid like the plague (and apparently bad cliche's), but i just have this feeling that if i just do wha i know i love, i will make it work. That might be naive.. but what the hell.

I decided to go study at Rhodes, because not only are they the only university that can offer me psychology with fine art, but i believe they have an AMAZING art department. In all seriousness, i would say that they are better, or on par, with Michealis. So yes, thats one big life decision sorted out. Now I'm just contemplating whether or not i should cancell my NBT's, because a) i dont need to write them for Rhodes and b) i REALLY dont want to write them.

Oh yes... the title "Flamingoes in Jacksonville" is inspired by my latest obsession with Brandon Flower's album 'flamingo' and one of my favourite songs is 'Jacksonville'. 

(check it out, or never live a happy life)
