My exhibition is up!!!
Measuring out everything with a spirit level took ages, but my work was successfully mounted onto the display boards and doesn't look totally shit :D There were loads of people at the opening night, I left a comments book but the only people who wrote anything were 2 friends and my mum. Although that was just over the space of like an hour, it should be up for a week. I also took a couple of pictures of it although you probably won't be able to see the actual work.
So after opening night, which was Friday, a few of us went out to celebrate what is almost the end of the course. We started off by meeting the lecturers in this pub called the Old Brown Jug - what a place... It was fucking TINY but they had like half the population of Stoke on Trent there. It took about a year top get served, they ran out of Stella so I had to try Kronenburg (which tastes like shit) and it was boiling hot. The five of us left there pretty soon and went to Wetherspoons, and chilled there for a while but Bobby left. After that we went to Yates and chilled out there, although my phone fell out of my pocket! When we came out of their Glynn went home and Bobby came back from the pub with his mates. They'd been doing cannabis and possibly cocaine, and I found them pretty fucking annoying. Luckily one of them rang my phone, and managed to get it back for me. I guess that compensates for the downer it put on the evening, having them come up to us loudly and annoyingly. I dislike druggies. We went into Reflex, the 80s bar, but me and Dan left like 5 minutes later because of them. We got a pizza then went home.
That was a huge paragraph.
Then last night I went out with people from work - apparently I did nothing to embarass myself on Sunday so nobody hated me. It was Becky's birthday. Three of us got her a card and put £5 each in, so she had some extra cash. The other people got her a bunny costume (well, it was like ears, a tail and a bow tie) and she looked cute in it ^^ So yeah, had a pretty good night. Did an unusual amount of geeky dancing that night but it was fun. I planned to stay til like 12 but ended up getting home at 3:30. Eek. Although Ahmed has like, quit Kwik Save now, so I won't see much of him any more. So I partly stayed out for him.
Do you know what makes me sad? There's a girl at work called Jenny. SHe's so sweet and kind and lovely and bubbly. A really nice girl. And apparently she's been having shit from her parents. She says that her mum always calls her a fta cow and that her dad has started doing it too. She was starting to cry because she didn't want to go home (she was slightly amotional cos of the drink) She ended up staying at Becky's. But it's so unfair! She's a great person, I can't understand how her parents can't appreciateh er. What's weird is that a close online friend was talking about a similar problem to me on Friday. This friend is also a totally awesome person. Plus I have other good online friends who have issues with their parents. Why? Why are parents so hard on their kids when the kids are worth 10 of them? I hate people, I really do.
Then this morning I had work at 9. I made it roughly on time but was kinda tired (and still am) I now have to finish off all of my work. It may not happen though.
Then after Monday, I have finished college ^^ I'll have to go in to watch over the exhibition a couple of times, and get my grades, but other than that, summer is here! I'll be working extra hours, and coming online during the day to talk to Manda, cos we never get to talk any more. It's all good.
Well, see you later I guess.
Edit: I just remembered something funny. We were in a bar, I think it was Walkabout, and long haired Mark came up to me and said "you know, [Somebody Someone-Someone] wrote a fascinating essay on symmetry and a-symmetry in art." He was being serious. I just laughed a lot. I felt kind of bad but you gotta admit, you don't just go up to one of your friends in a bar and say that.
