Saturday, September 11
My birthday then. It wasn't terribly exciting, but then I didn't expect it to be. At college we were told to get into groups of two or three and to create a logo to represent our group. I was with two women called Mona and Natashia. They were both 19. Mona's originally from Iran and Natashia, who's pagan, is from Hartlepool. We discovered we all liked the colours purple, blue and red, liked nature and had many A's in our names. That was where the similarities stopped. We tried to work with what we had though but we just couldn't create a symbol which would represent us. Nothing we tried worked. This really threw me and my old worries sank in, "I'm a fraud, I shouldn't be here, everyone else is doing well, I'll be terrible on this course," etc. I wasn't feeling very good due to that and when I went to SHIP later I told it all to Andy, as there was no one who turned up for the group.
After leaving I went to Borders, as noted below, then met my family for the meal. We were the only people in the restaurant but had a good time. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. We left and came home, where many gifts were bestowed upon me - the many CD's and books I had asked for, a large bouquet of flowers, a vase (to put the flowers in) and a bottle of raspberry vodka. All went well until it was time for them to leave and Robert started being antagonistic. It made me angry and upset and then when I tried to talk to Rory, he said we couldn't talk long as the battery was running out on his cordless phone and he couldn't be arsed going into the other room to fetch the second phone. That made me feel even worse.
Friday in college we learned how to use a mouse and what an enter key looks like, also noted below. I discovered that Natashia lives about two streets away from me so we walked home together through the university. After lunch I went upstairs and created a large collage on the theme of creativity, to illustrate the great quote I found. I was planning on incorporating the text but didn't actually leave space for it, so I might have to attach it to the bottom somehow.
Tomorrow I'm going to my parents' to have my hair dyed. Then on Monday I start my photography classes again. I still haven't found suitable items to photograph though.
