I Can't Stop

Or should I say start...

Start my work that is! I have been having a serious case of procrastination lately. I just can't bring myself to actually do my work, not just when I am at home but also when I am in class. I honestly spend most of my time at school staring at blank word documents, blank pages or into space! Like I don't even doodle or anything, I just sit there thinking to myself that I should be doing my work. But I just can't. 

I don't even know why. Maybe it is because I have so much to do I just don't know where to start? Or possibly because I only have 2 and a half weeks left of school --ever-- and I am trying to somehow make time stop so I don't have to leave? Or it could be that I am subconsciously challenging myself to see how long I can put something off and see how quickly I can finish it and still get good marks?

I don't really know.

The good thing is next week I will be on holidays for 2 weeks before heading back to school for another 2 weeks before exams. (I only have one yay) During the holidays I will turn 18 (aah) and have a "Wes Anderson Inspired" party, so that will be fun.

(I am also trying not to think about all the work I am supposed to finish off in the holidays eg. my 60 page art folio that I only have about 20 pages of so far :c )

I guess I am also procrastinating by writing this post but oh well, have a photo I took last year at the Botanic Gardens.

Bye for now.

P.S. I have also been procrastinating by learning German, like wow that is serious procrastination there! (I did learn German for a year when I started high school but yeah haha)

It's Starting To Look A Lot Like Spring

The weather is finally starting to warm up and as much as I like winter, I am quite excited for longer days and wearing cute dresses and skirts!

Today was the first day in who knows how long when it actually warm enough to go out without a jumper (although it was only 20ºC ha) I think us Australians get a little excited after winter! I wore this dress today when I went to get some decorations for my birthday next month, it has come so quickly.

It is nice looking out my window and seeing the sun shining even if I am stuck inside doing homework. I have so much to do this weekend as lots of my work needs to be handed up this week for marking eep! I have been working on a lot of art work over the past week I still have heaps to go!

My visual study is focused of self portraits so I spend a lot of time looking at photos of myself which is a bit weird haha. This photo is of a lino cut that I have been working on, inspired by Barbra Hanrahan. I feel like it has a sort of 60s mod vibe to it which was unintentional.

Okay so I have nothing against other people's paintings but boy oh boy, do I hate painting! I can never seem to get the right shade, or if I do, there isn't enough of it. It frustrates me so much and I try to avoid it as much as possible haha.

That's all from me for now, until next time!
