greetings once more! Greetings to all my bloggers!

I wonder how you're doing; I've been having some visitss to the blog from people in other countries, quite pleased about that.....although it feels a little weird because it's like there's almost no barrier between the world and I.
Ah, what pleasure it would give me to be able to leave England and go off and travel around the world a little more. I want to visit lots of countries- America, Germany, France again. I think I'd like to go back to Brazil; the climate there was lovely, if a little hot. Ah, lidten to me, the "typical" brit, yodeling on about wanting to go to countries, but thinking they're all either too hot or too cold.
Today I have been doing my work on artist research. I have to research two artists, David Shrigley and Gillian Wearing.

I have finished the page I was making on Gillian Wearing, and I think it's rather good, if I do say so myself, though as I painted it a grey-blue, it made me feel a little melancholy and I began missing those friends that I haven't seen in a long time.
Apologies here, because in my mind, "a long time" can be anything from a few hours to a few billion years. The friends in Question, I have not seen since Thursday, when we all broke up from school. Being in year eleven, there is no real break, as we have to work through the holiday and that pretty much leaves us no time within which we are left to our own devices.

This is probably a good thing; left to my own devices, I climb trees with rope that is not strong as it should be, or I cut my hair short, or I embark on some sort of Mission which takes hours if not days to complete, such as walking all over Bristol. Alas, lately I have had no time to go a-meandering about, and have stayed firmly put in my flat with nothing but a large amount of work to accompany me.

Hopefully things will pick up soon, with the weather finally getting warmer.

February

Apologies for the long gap between this post and the post that exists below; I've had a little trouble with getting work done of late as there appears to have been so much of it! More into the swing of things now, and in my half term, I'm taking a small break so that I can relax in between homework shifts, and take some time to revive after a long school term. Year eleven is hectic, frenetic; preparing for our GCSEs is proving an easy task, but the coursework is fiendish.

Anyway, today I have more than one thing on my mind, for today is the day I apply for my first job.

I've written up a CV, which includes:
Who I am
D.O.B
Where I am
Who I live with
What my predicted grades are
What I will do in the next couple of years
Why I want the job
What I do in my spare time

It's not that much to include, and as long as you format it correctly it's the key into a life of earning money (at last!)

I'm wishing myself, and all you readers, the best for the upcoming months. To any of you who are taking GCSEs, S.A.Ts, A-Levels, good luck.
