Christmas Break

I know you said there's no point in changing the date but it doesn't fit the timeline if I don't and I hate that so please ignore, best regards, me.


Over the Christmas break, I went abroad to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. There were a lot of potato dishes and I mean a lotttt. I tried so manyyy of them that I realized potatoes are really filling and at some point I needed something that wasn't potatoes.

On the other hand, I also visited many historical buildings like palaces and cathedrals. I never knew that there were so many cathedrals named after the same saints. It almost seemed never ending. Another place I visited that was quite interesting is the prison. We took a guided tour of a recently closed prison and was shown what it'd be like to live there. The tour guide tested us and said my mom would not do well in jail, sadly I couldn't take any pictures. 

However, despite everything, I thought jail's not have bad. Sure there were raping cases, suicidal cases, bullying cases and of course no phone entertainment but if I were broke and could not find a job, had no one to lean on and nowhere to go, ending up in jail for a lifetime sentence seemed like a pretty decent way to keep living excluding whoring yourself out. Free food, a shower area and bathroom, a place to self isolate and not talk to anyone while doing some hobbies seemed pretty good. Thus, I had my plan Z.

Oh and I went on a sand dune for the fist time, it was sandy and windy and I thought I'd be the first to fly away.

If you'd like to see nicer pictures from the trip, check my Insta, though I don't post much😅.

Showreel

Image
I showed Dean my previous showreel and besides the expected the response about the vibe and original logo, the rest was about the same. He suggested changing the intro obviously as well as the song and mentioned that the images should match the ones on the website.  So I decided to pick a song that was less repetitive compared to the previous one since Dean mentioned it could get boring. I like jazz so I went with that. The song was chosen after a lot of deliberation and advice from Dean, and while editing the showreel I actually felt that the combination of the song, my colour palette and my logo gave off a rather modern classic feel.  You know, a little minimalistic and like walking into an old and expensive but refurnished restaurant with jazz music playing in the background, meant to cater to the younger customers. So I tried to make my intro's transition match with this vibe.

Final Day

Today's my birthday and I have officially completed my assignments as well so I'm feeling good. I showed Dean my showreel for the last time and there was an issue with the timing of my artwork and the song in the promotional section of my showreel so I fixed it up in class and got the approval from Dean that my showreel was all good. I also converted all my Microsoft word documents to artworks in Illustrator so PROGRESS! Now all that's left is to fill my spreadsheet and I'll be done!

Winter Wonderland

I went to winter wonderland on this day. It's my first amusement park in a long time. I went with a couple friends and it was really fun but expensive. I rode on a rollercoaster, bumper car and pendulum ride for the first time. It was amazing and I am glad I got the opportunity to go, but no matter what I still can't get over the prices. Everything was so expensive! Like how?? The pizza was like £10 and yet it looked so disgusting, I couldn't bring myself to buy any of the food even though I really wanted to eat them. Instead, I went food window shopping, staring at each stall and the food they serve while mentally calculating the conversion rate and figuring out how many meals one amusement park snack could get me back home.  My friend and I wanted to eat churros so we went all over the park and compared the prices until we found the cheapest and most worth it option. While exploring we saw a bunch of people carrying the cutest animal plushies and we wanted to try playing ...
