Oxram

(sorry for the smudge)

All of a sudden uni started, wow! Today I had sculpture. We started with creating our own tools and building an armature, then we went on to preparing clay (this is the first time I've mixed the tiny bits (or in this case powder) into the clay. It's always been there before), and the preparing teqhnique was also different. Afterwards while chatting with the technician I heard it's easier to get the one we used today right for most people. The so called ramshead technique (which I know by the name ox technique) which I've been taught gets a while to get used to. But I guess that means I can use it in the future. I'm more comfortable with it.

Roomie coloured her hair (tecnically, I coloured it for her), so now it's ice mahogany brown. Hope this wasn't classified information.

Well, so yesterday we were treated with a really nice lunch of fish pie and chocolate cheesecake. Our fellow student also took us on a sightseeing tour around the areas here. Faversham seemed really nice, maybe we'll have to pay it another visit?

There were a lot of sheep everywhere, and we also made a quick stop at an really old, lovely church. Speaking of that I haven't gotten around visiting the Canterbury Cathedral yet, I've heard it's truly stunning.

Today I had a short workshop about researching for and writing academic essays, so I guess it's time to get around to writing mine. I think it will be about Minimalism. The funny thing is, that after the lecture on said subject both me and Roomie had been thinking about picking the exact same subject and essay question, so now we're essay rivals. Very serious rivals, yes.

I got a wonderful surprise package from mom, it was filled with chocolate! Accurately enough, it arrived just a few days after I'd eaten the last of my Finnish milk chocolate. I was so happy. I didn't even see when it came, because I was over at my neighbours' for an interview-excercise the neighbour needed help with.

Moral of the story: Everyone, send nice packages to me by mail. Everyone loves packages.

London was nice. Someone's legs are going to hurt tomorrow.


I ate Fish and Chips for the first time in my life. Quite nice, actually. We got a delicious garlic sauce instead of mayonnaise, because they were out of the latter.
