Paperchase!

Yesterday I made the big mistake of walking into paperchase after class. I love the stuff they have. Spend about 20 minutes debating over whether I should by a notepad or not (decided not, since I still have three at home, but oh it was sooo cute). And then I found a new section in the back of the store. They are basically selling sheets of wrapping paper. But some of it is really ... different. I took some photos:






I love those kinds of material. So I got really excited until I realised that I couldn't buy any as I have zero use for them. My group was thinking of doing a girly book project this term and we could have gone all overboard with these to illustrate the book and make it fun, but then we decided to do a book for boys instead. Hmm, I'm thinking boys will not get too excited about pink glitter on their books. *sigh* Maybe I can find a different project were I can incorporate these materials...

This is frustrating

So the last term went out with a bang. Exams, food, drinking and one day of leisure. And now this. Been back in classes since last Monday and no time to breathe. All the projects for the semester got dumped on us, I had my placement on Friday and the weekend was spend like this:



That's right. Sitting at my bf's office (because it's nice and quiet and has free coffee) studying! I read through someone else's dissertation and through about half a text book and did some maths exercises.

Today, thankfully, I only have one class. But after class my group is meeting to discuss ideas on two projects. We are supposed to acquire/commission books. But of course we have to come up with the ideas. Uh, not really good at that. Did I mention I don't wanna be an editor and don't really care about that part? Well, at least there are four other people in my group who ALL wanna be editors. So I figure it would be good practise for them ;-)

Here's to the next weeks calming down a bit...
