Concept.

So we're 2 weeks into the project. 2 Weeks of working at our concept and trying to make something that our teachers will approve of.

After a week of writing, talking to teachers, thinking, some changing, more writing and talking and perfecting I handed in my concept and now I'm waiting for everyone to get back to me with their feedback. All I know now is that my idea isn't pure shit, but there is still a possibility of some changes that need to be done. In the meantime I'm just taking care of the 'administration' as I like to call it, some inspiration searching and some organisation.

The atmosphere in class is wonderful. We've made a little classroom our own, where we're all alone with our class, working on our project. We're getting a kettle, so we can eat soup and noodles and drink coffee and tea. We'll make ourselves comfortable.
I love sitting in this room all day and just working. We discuss our ideas and progress and have a lot of fun making our own little things. I'm honestly loving school at the moment.

In other news, WILD arrived, after coming out 2 weeks ago. And I love it.
Hurts is visiting Amsterdam during their European tour. And I'm going.
Muse is visiting Amsterdam during their world tour. And I'm going to make sure I'll be there this Tuesday.
Concerts are happening and I'm happy about it.

I'm also working hard at getting my online portfolio sorted out, so I can send E-mails to companies and try to get an internship. When it's done, I'll be sure to let you know.

All kinds of things are happening and I'm excited for everything. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, go listen to WILD.

Have a nice life,

A new start.

The new school year has started and it's exciting as well as terrifying. This year I'm supposed to graduate and today we had a little talk about what's expected of us and what we can expect from the forthcoming half a year.

I'm happy to have my project idea all planned out and written down with just the need to finetune it and hand it in, but I'm also terrified it will be turned down and I have to start from scratch again. I'm just so excited to start working on this project idea I have and I really really hope it's good enough and I didn't take too much on my plate. I'm just going to have to wait and see.

I have so many plans for this year. I want to live more healthy - drink more, eat better, I want to keep track of everything I'm doing and be nice and organized in all the areas and, probably most of all, I want to document everything. I want to write all my progress and exciting things and downgrading things down and I want to photograph what's happening and who I'm with and where I'm working. I want to remember this time. I don't know why I suddenly feel such a deep need to do this, I don't know where it comes from, probably the knowledge that this will be the last half a year I will spend with these people, in this setting, at this school and I just want to remember it for what it was like. For this I'm taking my analog camera to school with me tomorrow. I want to try and do this every day and just document the things I feel fit. I really hope I'm not too awkward and just take it out whenever I want to. I think it will make remembering a bit more special and it will document the process of my project in a nice way. It's also a good way to stay busy with photography, I suppose.

For the writing part, I'm turning back to this blog again. I enjoy sitting down and writing my thoughts down and I hate that I'm not taking the time to really do it. I've thought this so many times before, but I'm setting myself to really do it this time. For myself. To have something to look back on.

Maybe, school is going to start a blog where we, as a class, will share our experiences of graduating, but I kind of doubt this actually happening. If it does, though, I'm afraid this blog will fall back to the background. And I will cry over it.

But we're not there, just yet. Let's see how my first week of school get's on and we'll go further from there.

Have a nice life,
Xoxo
