Portugal and Cristiano

Well, i think im done for the day..tomorrow is the exam. Im not too worried, the majority of the topic is covered well in my mind, now i hope i can perform. Aquiring the knowledge is only half the work done, applying it and proving that you know it is the other more important part.

Its time to "chill" now, one of the words ive come to use..it reminds me of my friends and art class, "chilling" usually took place there. For some odd reason, i think i actually spent alot of time "chilling" this year in my art course, even though the work was there in the end...i actually felt as though i as thinking alot more than working, and then when i came to the practical aprt of it...it was so spontaneous.

hm. Tomorrow is partly planned, im going to wake up get ready and. do another couple of papers. I did four today. But im worried about getting stuck on them, and then worrying last minute on things i dont know or whatever..but i think ill still go through some papers just to warm up. ha. sounds like sports.

portugal are playing their last friendly with mozambique tonight. another former colony.

and yes. i just finished yet another tube of mentos...this is pretty bad.

got another letter from DMU, outlinning the enrolments and induction partly and other details...also states that there may be a summer project (oh the excitement)..no seriously im excited to do any project as yesterday only did the inspiration levels top and i got a feeling of doing a graphics project like thing on the Lisbon trip, like a scrap book but with inks and paints..and all different stuff..hmm...this is pretty cool. adds a bit of colour, tone, shade, composition to the mind as maths and physics are proving a little 2D at the moment.

Dont seem to understand why people think some universities are lower in ranking than other, ok fine, i do understand. league tables exist. but i think theres one thing ive learnt..which says that trying to make somthing special out of somthing thats already so special is harder than give the mundane and ordinary a bit of glamour, success and spot light. what i mean to say is that glitter cannot be made to shine any more, but polishing a stone can make it more beautiful....so its easier to make the ordinary more special but the special further special a difficult task. Applying this to universities. i do understand that the best courses are what people are looking for, but we shall be respected with as much respect as we give to the course or university. im sick of hearing random comments being thrown around especially local universities.. for if its not the local apects you cannt see and take pride in then taking pride in others is going to be hard. its a bit like not respecting what you have but keep worrying about things you dont have.

After saying all this..only this morning i heard on the BBC asian network that now more than 50% of british asians are living with theur parents rather than moving out for university which on puts them as a risk of not studying the best course or not having the optimal university experience.

I find myself slightly out of that catogory, i left home 13 years ago. leaving this place that im just about coming to terms with will cause upheavel i think to my mental stability ...still feel homesick sometimes. i was only happy to find that yes leicester did have its own school of architecture..only to thenfind out people thought lowly of the university it was associated with. im not going to bother to give any more personal exact reasons as to why im apply and more than happy, actually dream come true to attend!

annoyingly, my eyes are really dry right now..grr.so im taking a break from computer screen, laptop screen, mobile screen...though only after seeing the friendly portugal are playing tonight.
