HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! designer guy
man i got into the sorrel foundation design for schools program out of like 60 or so that applied and 15 or so got chosen, so yea a one in four chance of getting in and all they had to go on was me talking infront of a panel of four of them. i must have shown them how interested i was in the project....MAN!....i get sooooo damn lucky sooo often.......i got for something i get it...its crazy.......yea im not complaining by anymeans...all im saying is i always wonder if i did put more effort into things in general how much better i could be.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... man i cant wait to start the design for schools project....basicly me as a designer will work with a couple of other designers from my group...and the kids from the school we get designated to are the cliets who come up with the ideas and we basically take them ideas use a little of our own input and graphically create it to a good enough standard to show to the school governers who would actually make in real life what gets designed....anoyingly they are saying at the moment that moneys coming into play so the final ideas might not get made in real life...like a 60 for and 40 percent at the moment...more considerations for money will be thought about.....
anyway man big chance here to make a difference to the lives of kids schools and how they view it.....yay!!!!!...........the project will last over a few months well maybee about 4 i think...anyway sooo looking forward to that....
just learnt that the trip on the final year of college is to NEW YORK!! WOW crazy stuff...meet some big name designers...i hope to have loads of my world series done by then.........Amsterdam tomorow night for 5 days.....its all go go go....

man AHHHHHHHHHH I HAD THE FRIGHT OF MY LIFE>>>>>TOTALY SCARY \MOMENT >>>>NEVER BEEN SO SCARED EVER EVER EVER:
i dicided to walk home as it was pretty late so the buses were not running and the taxis were to expensive...it only takes about an hour....anyway after like 45 mins i was nearly home and looking behind me i could see a man in the distance walking the same way...hehe well the road bent around and when he was out of sight i decided to start jogging....now its like a little town..and the road is only wide enough to have a sidewalk park a car parrelel park then have one car go down the road as it was a one way street and then basicly the thinest path ever on the other side..so that you have to walk on the side where the cars are parked...and the houses dont have a front garden as they are all joined together..the odd one does as its detatched.......anyways so im jogging down this path and its minimal lighting so pitch black...im jogging then back a big brown and black alsation police type dog jumps out at me from now here and Just barking really viciously..i by pure reaction turn and lean right onto the bonnet of the carwut my hands up on my chestleanign forward not making a single movement....the dog stops barking then i see it walks into the front garden of the house(small front garden) and looks up at the door..all the lights are off to the house so im just wondering what the hell is going on...it then comes back to me and just looks at me..im in the same position and down look at it as i've heard that can provoke them...so im there for what feels like ages but probably wasnt......then a woman calls to the dog..i look up and see she is standing at the door..she comes and and shouts at the dog to get in...she didnt understand why it was out there and got angry with it...then she said sorry to me and im still leaning on the front of the car at this point i go to lean back and get into standing position again but the dug runs at me so i go back down..the owner then gets the dog by the coller...another dog bounds out..and she shouts at it to get back in.....well then when they are in i get up and walk off...man scary....but i find myself laughing in a crazy way at how mad it was HOW SCARY...i was imagining the dog whilst i was walking home in the dark...and kept thinking another one might be around the next corner....then i had to walk down a real scary lane to get back to the college so i jogged it as its down a through woodland..ahh but they have lighting..anyway i make it back and am just exhusted....crazy night...what a way to end such a night im thinking..but damn it was fun!!!!!!!
