#10: the creative is creating!!

 So I guess the holidays are coming up a lot sooner than I expected - they tend to creep up on me like this each winter. I'm sorry for not updating you guys last week, I've had a lot going on at school and it slipped my mind :( I guess things are going well though, I got my grades back and I was fairly satisfied with all of them. We also finally finished the lego study on Friday - my goddesses, that was hell, though interesting, but I am actually quite happy with what I ended up handing in (sadly I forgot to take a picture, showing you the result next week!). 

But to report back about some of the topics I spoke on last time: I finished my internship block exhausted, but I did get better physically towards the end of the week. My mum returned last Thursday and it felt nice to have someone to be able to rely on again. As for the Dublin exchange, I did apply but sadly didn't end up getting it. I was a little disappointed, but I guess I'm still glad I tried anyway. The past week has been crazy with schoolwork but I my friend took some amazing pictures of me for a media studies assignment - it's quite rare for me to genuinely love pictures others take of me but these invoked feelings in me a haven't felt in a long time (The photographer is also just insanely talented!!!! Shout out Mena!!!).

I also went to our school's Christmas party with a few friends on Friday, which was more fun than I would ever have expected of a school's Christmas party - I guess my old school has a lot to learn from us! We ate 12 mandarin oranges as a group of three before any of the program even began, so it's safe to say we caught up on all the ones we should've been eating all month long, it is December after all...

Other than that, the only life update I have for you is that I am SO BACK creatively!!!!! I have been writing a lot more, finally started journaling every once in a while again and have been drawing windows in my sketchbook (I know that probably means nothing to you but it's apparently what I do now when I can't come up with anything else). I made quite a few of my Christmas presents and I feel a lot better creating rather than letting my emotions marinate inside my mind until I forget about them. There is still some room to grow but in one week, Christmas break is finally here and I will have all the time in the world (hopefully)! 

And the other day, I took a seemingly small step to help myself eliminate a huge insecurity of mine and it ended up being an amazing decision - I seem to like myself more when I look at myself as a vessel and in a neutral light, and I encourage every person reading this to try implementing that concept into their lives in one way or another, whatever works for you. Plus, I wrote a song about it, which is always a good sign; I can't remember the last time I wrote anything genuinely euphoric. 

Anyway, I'll be back next week and as always, thank you so much for giving me your time!

Just one more week party people!!!!!!
