life gets in the way

It's been a week since i last posted and so much has happened this is blog post that i had planned to do got pushed back into my mind as life got in the way. It was a very up + down week and consisted a lot of different emotions but it's been resolved and i feel a lot happier with my life again.

bipolar post.

because i'm about to go on a rant here is the video i promised the other day; featuring Megs. 

after sleeping for only an hour at 3:25am, i was rudely awoken by a dripping sound. The gentle splish splash was getting louder by the second. Next thing i know, is that my entire apartment was flooded. I don't just mean little puddles, I'm talking underwater. I'm so angry with the security guards because they didn't offer to help clear out my possessions or move me to another flat whilst the water continued to flow.  A lot of my photographs and books have been ruined but as long as it wasn't my DSLR. i would of died.

So today with the hour sleep i received, watched the sun arise on my water logged apartment, leave, attend lectures and now am blogging in the art house because i seriously cannot focus after only drinking one chai latte.

i think a lot more needs to be consumed.

oh and i missed my morning smoothie run with megs = a very unhappy tayler.

sunday

- Seeing as it was sunny today i had to do something adventurous and take a small walk with Megs. After bathing in the sun, we decided to make a short film which blogger won't let me upload, so here is a picture of some pretty flowers i bought to make my apartment feel a little more homely. It was a relaxed day, reading art theory books, listening to music and just bathing in the sun. I cannot wait for summer. It's only march and it feels like we've bypassed Spring completely. 

- Megs and i have been talking about going away at Easter for a few days to a city to get some art inspiration and just have a little break from Kent & today all of a sudden we booked two tickets to Paris! We have both been before but as it's my favourite place in the world ( no lie there ) i always feel the desire to go and never come back. I am now extremely excited as it's just over a month away.. which speaking of this, i need to brush up on my french..bonjour? & i have so much to plan; clothes/itinerary/music/insurance/money it's going to fly by. 

- Talking of time passing quickly - my first year at university is nearly over. i only have four weeks left & then after Easter we are assigned to a third year to help out with their final degree show which will be really interesting to work with another artist. Although i bet i'll just be a latte runner. 

- I was hitting myself against a brick wall ( metaphorically ) with my art ideas. I had seriously hit a dry spot and i couldn't think of anything else to do related to my previous project; which was bones & conditions. I've now thought about the human body & form and what are natural forms, e.g crystals.  Brainstorm- having a skin like material with growing crystals on it. 

- Most of that was a ramble so i apologise. 

p.s i will try and upload the video at some point. hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
