Well hi there!! It's been almost exactly a year since my last journal...I feel really bad! :S

I'm sorry I've kept so out of touch. I guess all I can say is...well...life does that! I have come on here now and then, and I do value each and every one of the comments, favourites, and watches I receive. And I always reply to your comments eventually! I haven't forgotten all of my friends here on dA either!

SO what have I been doing? Mainly uni! As said in my previous journal, I started a bachelor of primary education. I completed my first year of that in November 2011. I've decided to get out of that though! and have been accepted into a Bachelor of Fine Art course! It's what I've really always wanted to do, and my year at uni last year allowed me to meet qualifications to get in! So it wasn't a total waste of time. And I guess learning is never a waste of time! So yes, I'll probably end up doing secondary art teaching at the end of it. But for now, it's just art class all the time! SO super excited.

My boyfriend and I went to New Zealand in Mid 2011 as well, so that was really awesome! We went snow skiing in the mountains, and the scenery was SO spectacular. I cannot explain how beautiful it was. THere were mountains EVERYwhere! Australia is really flat for the most part, so we weren't used to seeing mountains everywhere we turned. And they were all snowcapped! Ahhh...we are definitely going back!

I can't really think of what else...those were the two biggest events really. I went to a wedding as well...uhmm..yeah! That's really it. Uni just took up all my time, SO many essays. I hate writing essays....>.< hopefully there wont be too many of those in this fine art course!

I've started running, because I feel really unfit. I hope I can keep it up!

Anyway, that's pretty much it! I hope to come on here more often this year. I also hope to start painting in oils, increase my fitness, learn more about different art mediums, and....go to the zoo!

Take care for now! Hope you've all been going well!
