Just a small update, because it's 1am and I don't feel like sleeping yet

These few weeks have been really busy... I'm basically in the lab from 9-5 or 10-5, and we've got a lecture from 5-6. I get home about 6.30 every day, and then there's more reading to do and reports to write...

In a word: tiring!

I'm trying to give myself some time every evening to write/draw, but it's hard to concentrate sometimes.

So I did something I very rarely do...

I sort of wrote a poem.

I guess you know by now I'm not a poetry person. But I did it anyway -- or it did me, if you like. We did each other? No, that doesn't sound quite right.

ANYWAY. You might even get to read it! Isn't that exciting? Okay, maybe it isn't.

How are all of you? Tell me stuff, so I don't feel lonely!

This is my last week before going back to uni. (Although I suppose some of you will already be back at school/college/uni.)

It's my last year now, which is sort of scary... I guess I've been thinking about my future a little. What I'm going to do with my life and so on. I feel like it's all to be decided now, which I'm sure isn't true.

Anyway, I told myself I need to work a lot harder this year than I've been working so far, which probably means less time to spend on drawing/writing. But I don't think I'll be able to give it up entirely, and I don't think I should -- I need some kind of non-work creative outlet, after all. But I want to apologise in advance if it turns out I'm less active here during this time

I'm working on a new portrait, trying to get it finished before I fly back. It's of my favourite movie character ever... Han Solo (you might have guessed this already )

So watch this space for that! Meanwhile I hope you're all doing well. Any interesting plans for the future?
