Rewind

The past few days haven't been particularly spectacular but they've made me happy :]

I had a big presentation on Thursday to 3 people from Grampian Police, including a Sargent and a graphic designer. We had to design a graphic style for their recruitment campaign and I went for a Roy Lichtenstein inspired comic book angle. I think they liked it, the woman in particular liked the bat-signal style searchlight I used. They said it was very different and recognised that a lot of work went into the illustration. That was particularly nice to hear considering I was up late most nights last week trying to get work done and as a result have been suffering lightheadedness during the day! Not too bad though, and starting to go away now that I'm catching up with my sleep. We got our last brief of term on Thursday too, another corporate identity competition which my tutor said "could be done in a day". She shouldn't have said that :D

So Thursday was OK, then I woke up on Friday and started getting ready to go to St Andrews to visit Joe. I checked my university emails whilst munching on a bowl of crunchy nut and find an email from a guest tutor informing me that my logo design for a previous project was very close to being chosen by the client to be used to brand his physiotherapy practice! I was over the moon! The fact that my design was so closely considered for the actual brand made my day! I was so chuffed when I read that, and was touched that my tutor took the time out to tell me. I was telling her a while back how insecure I am about my work and I think that's why she emailed me. So that was super duper!

Went to St Andrews on Friday and had a really nice weekend with Joe, doing nothing in particular! We napped, ate chinese food, watched a french film, shopped, drank hot chocolate, napped some more, ate soup, watched Buzzcocks, at pizza, watched top gear, then decided that it was still early enough to shove a couple of pints down our throats in the pub before going to bed. Oh and he gave me part of my Christmas present early! It's a super-cool, super-warm hat from Fat Face, it's so cool! I might put a picture of it up if I'm feeling Myspacey enough :D

So now I'm back in Aberdeen facing a 2500 word essay and realising that the questions aren't quite as easy as I thought/hoped they were. Whoops. Think I may have to speak to my lecturer tomorrow.

I'm sleepy. I think I might eat some cranberry cheese I got from the international market last weekend.
