Crazy week of interviews again, (almost over just one in Farnham in April then im done!) despite the endless hours of waiting, its been alot of fun, the people i've met along the way we're lovely and i managed to somehow get a place at saint martins to do textile design, which is a ball of bewildering excitement!

So, i return from my trip slightly tired and daunted by what the outcome means but very thankful, and conclusive that if you had no faith before, surely this must raise a suspicion in your mind that there is a God?!

 The AMAZING tea cosy that suz knitted me for my birthday!! Which i still stand by the fact it would also make a very sweet hat (i may style it on my head and take a photo for you.)

Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Tate Modern, has some weird bits but then this epic 'infinity' room, which they didn't let you take photos, but its very interesting!

A busker outside the tate which an electric guitar in the river. A bit ironic. I quite liked it :)

Glasgow in the Sun

So, Glasgow in the sun is a very nice place indeed. My aunty and one of her friends picked me up from the airport and drove me round the city, pointing out the important details such as the many macintosh buildings the art galleries the nice places to eat and the trendy places to live.

In my interview i compared Glasgow to Barcelona, they laughed, but its true it reminds me of Gaudi and the beautiful stamp hes put on Barca, in many ways just like Macintosh has on Glasgow.

I have been extremely lame at taking photos, so i'll talk about my highlights..

1) Sunshine - leaving a rainy grey South Wales/Bristol.
2) Accent - i have come across so many sweet scottish girls, with the most adorable voice, for some
                    reason i was surprised that the three girls i was waiting with were all from Scotland, err duh!
3) Tramway - an art gallery shared with the scottish ballet, its such a lovely space.
4) I poped along to this exhibition opening and although not a highlight as such but a funny moment, where this old scottish guy with a heavy accent got annoyed that i wasn't laughing at his jokes.
                     a) i couldnt understand what he was saying
                     b) what i could understand wasn't funny and he was drunk.
5)The buildings - theres some incredible houses, the architecture is just stunning
6) Art school - its pretty cool


Its been a cultured few days and i don't think i could retain much more information.
