I thought I'd update my journal, because my last one was my muse-fuelled rant at how amazing they are. Muse are still infinitely epic, I was just getting a bit bored of seeing it on my page.

I'm getting a little bit infuriated with my art. I can see no improvement over the past few months, and not improving is never good. I'll probably keep trying, but most of the stuff I draw at the minute will just be doodles, because I have exams for the rest of this year and coursework due in. It isn't nice. And I'm predicted all As and A*s, which is a lot of pressure really. Its not nice. But, hopefully, after school has finished, I'll actually be able to relax and take up drawing properly. And start learning Japanese again; I've been putting it on hold this year because I use my general studies lessons to catch up on my music theory and other coursework.

Speaking of music, I'm doing fairly well! I know all my pieces, and I just need to work on my articulation and bow pressure, which is just a matter of practice. I'm still learning Folia by Corelli on violin. It's a 10-minute long song that is actually gorgeous. As in the type where you hear it and start tearing up a little. I'm learning Give Unto Me by Evanescence and United States of Eurasia on piano at the minute too.
I've also discovered a band called Garbage, and I've been listening to Bleed Like Me a lot. Its a good song I've been listening to alot more varied music lately, its nice.

I'm also going out with a boy called Rhys, from a church I go to in Rawtenstall. He's lovely

And how is it nearly Christmas! It's a month away now, and it seems like its coming too quickly. I'm still shopping yet! Not good! I have got most people's presents, but there are still a few I need to buy. And it's scarily close

Anyway, I shall go, because Rhys is facebooking me
