Graduation approching
journal, main
[info]dalara
Tomorow is my graduation. Part of me is cheering and in a blissfull joy while the other is just tired and wants to curle up in a ball and sleep. Guess part of it is that there has always been so much to do. Though work has not been the biggest part of it, if something it is relaxing to be at work. Yes there come moments where it is crasy to do but over all it is not so much. Walking home after work works well to wind down after the day.
Today it's just general tiredness, which doesn't make sence since I thought I sleeped through the night, I had breakfast and launch. And I still feel like I'm dragging my feets after the ground.
In happier news I have been pinning down the days I'm going to go east and work on armour and other things. So far it seems that it will only be two days in june if I get a car to go there since it's in the middle of a week 23 and 24 of june. If not I will just use the time to go buy material for the things I need or just paint Warhammer dudes.
Next days would be 8th and 9th as well as 11th and 12th and the last of July would be 25th and 26th. In august I could to the 8th and 9th and that would probably be my last trip before going south for school.

I know it has been a while since I updated. Actually more than quite awhile.
But as the title says to day was my first day at work. And if something it was quite nice to be back to work. No grumpy people have phoned yet and the number of calls is just about right. Not to many or to few. Now I will just have to see if I will find a good website about C++ so I can pick that up this summer. I'm thinking about drafting up a proposal of a program for my brother. So far it looks like to be more of a data base for the employes. Though I know he has been thinking about having some kind of a connection for the employes that are working up stairs to send notifications to him that a computer is coming to him. He was also thinking about something to make the ordering of parts for the computers easier for him.
In other news. I passed my resit exam with a 6.5 which means that I will graduate this spring.
I have found out that I really like working with armour. If something I love it. At least I'm much better at that than trying to work with fabric. . I have also been looking at various patterns for armour and I have found quite intresting patterns that are based on a Japanese armour for a gorse pattern, its called Guraway, if I remember correctly. Have also been looking at the japanees armour in general. And the patterns for it are quite intresting to say the least.

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful

14 Islamic, 3 Impressionist, 8 Ukiyo-e, -25 Cubist, -21 Abstract and 11 Renaissance!

Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.


People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

NBPS - The Idealist

Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

Just need to keep it up so I can have a nice relaxing evening to day and then do some last preperations tomorow for.

And it's absolutly dreadfull weather outside, oh well it's nice to be able to be inside at those days, easyier to learn also in a way. No smiling sun trying to tempt you out to do things.

Happy memorie
journal, main
[info]dalara
The last happy memory I added to my collection of memories would be when I got a phone call the other day and was informed that I had landed a new job. The feeling of being able to go and quite the old job was really enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, most of the people from the old job is great people. It's just how some things are done at the old job that really irritated me and not just me alone.

Though a happy memorie that stands out is when I realized I had made a good group of friends both online and real life. Though I seem to be managing to compleatly ruin my real life friendship.

Another happy memorie, when I met my boyfriend. Both ackward but enjoyable when we had broken the ice between us. And there are many happy memories there.

There are many more happy memories though but I'm going to stick with those written above as the top once. Since every little momemnt that gives you happyness is a happy memorie even though you don't remember them all and some weight more than otheres.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

I will make it

The world seems not the same,
though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,
I don't leave it all behind.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Chorus:
Have to try to break free
from the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can say goodbye,
have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
in the end it's worthwhile,
that the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.

I know, should realise
time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
have to trust it will be alright.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Repeat chorus:

Oh, this night is too long.
I have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist I see the face
of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have to stay

Repeat Chorus

Well, here I sit in my chair writing, only because to day I thought it was 6th of January and when I turn up for work at 5:45 am I'm asked who I'm covering for. Not having a clue what she was talking about I found out that to day is 5th of January. Ironic, since I wasn't able to go to sleep and now I'm wide awake.

Two test done. And I'm afraid that need to take the other one again. I'm realy afraid I didn't get enough points on it to pass. Currently going over all the formulas that we have been learning for numerical. So far it's going good. And then the last test. I'm so not looking forward for that test. Since I have been not doing so good in that subject.

Getting through the exams is my top priority now. Even though I will be going over the two songs I'm going to sing on the christmas concert in the Music school on next Tuseday, 18th of December. Still have no idea when on the 18th but I guess I'll know that later tomorow.

But better keep on going with going over formulas.

On sunday me and Biggi went to bottle the mead that has been bubbling quitely at my aunts place. We ended up with the total of 13 liters of mead and the alchool lvl is 15%. My aunt was quite impressed. Considering that after a rough calculation that only one liter got spoiled of the hole thing me and Biggi are defenlty going to brew more. To continue the brew thing we are going to get our own plastic barrel with a water lock. Then we will have full permission to use my aunts house as a brewing place for our mead

Tomorow I wil be going to a small singing test. Nothing big. Just to see how I stand and then get the teachers to tell me that I should continue and sign up for full music shool. I want to but currently my university is on higher priority. I guess I'll try to squees in lessons for music reading after christmas. Since if I would want to advance one day I need that with me to be able to advance.

The university tests are also about to starta. About a week untill the first one will be held. Currenlty I'm trying to finish the last project I got left. It's not going as good as I would have wanted since I tend to think way to much on it. Sitting and looking at it and wondering, waging options. Would this way work better than the other one. Should I break it more down. Try to keep it simple even though it will end up beging higly complex in the end.

The Christmas Countdown tree is up on my Dashboard telling me that there are 29 days to christmas or well at least to christmas day.

In other news I heard that blue screen of death has started to show up on the new Leopard system for mac. Hasn't happened to me though. Hmm must remember to look it up.

My half brother came to my sisters birthday party on saturday. It was quite nice to see him again expecially since we hardly see him unless we go to south or he comes north. When most of the people had gone I and him disided to go and see a movie. We went and saw American Gangster. Which I have to say that it is an excellent movie. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe played there part veary well in this film.

Well better get back to work.

I'm a sad person. Yesterday I decorated my Mac with christmas ligths. I stopped myself from putting the christmas tree though but it will be up at first december. The trip to the movie on monday was great. I will defenetly dress up for more movie trips. Next up will be Beowulf. I think a simple T-tunic and a belt around the waist will do for that and simple pants.

In other news currently sitting and waiting for students from MA and VMA to come and take a look at our department. We got the lego robot up and working. The Slideshow is working and we got alot of candy. Not to many books, we don't want to scare the studens away, not yet at least. We brought down the magacines that wore in our class room and I also brought a few 3D World magacines. Well the kids are here better do something.
