Happy New Years

 Sorry I have been away for so long, as for usual things came up all at once that couldn't be avoided..

I have completed my studies at the start of this month  I am now officially a qualified fashion designer and technician. I received my certificate and academic record just last week I got full credits I really don't know how I survived until this point its still very surreal to me that my studies are officially over I still have no idea what I am going to be doing in the future let alone next year...

I had my interview with the arts academy in November and I can honestly say I am horrible at  answering interview questions... they liked my work very much they were fascinated by some of the pieces I had done but unfortunately I didn't get in.... I am okay about it I just wish they would tell you what you did wrong so you know how you could improve.. Ill definitely try again next year at least this time round I know what to expect during the interview.

during December I worked at retail store with B a guy friend I may have mentioned at one point or another. I can honestly say if I was to ever date a boy again it would most likely be him. he is literally the only boy I trust outside my immediate family. he is my best Friend we are always in constant contact with one another always striving to make the other laugh and we get along really well is what I am trying to say. I can see the possibility of us dating at one point or another in the future....

Christmas was intriguing My mum and I went dress shopping for Christmas day while we were doing that I found out I am actually now a size 8 AU/UK (US 6) instead of a 10AU/UK (US 8). my mum got really worried about it she kept mentioning it to all my relatives so I mostly spent my Christmas day reassuring my family that I am not on a diet or anorexic or over stressed/worked etc... the  most interesting thing about that day was hearing various members of my family sharing their thoughts on EDs and body image. I also found out one of my aunty is/was anorexic which didn't surprise me much other than that Christmas was enjoyable time even with all those questions flying around the dinner table.

As for new years eve I will be spending it with B for the most part and with my family for the other part.  which is truly is a good ending to a year full of ups and downs. That is pretty much all I have to say so I will take this opportunity before I go out to wish you all a happy new year~!!   stay safe and most immortally have fun where ever you are~!! lots of love Anna <3 see you all in the new year xx

Happier :)

Today was a lot more better than yesterday, I cringe thinking about the thoughts going through my head yesterday it was like a muddled blur of horribleness but I'm glad its out fluttering in the wind not distorting my mind.

I spent most of today helping my mum around the house, we talked a lot about a whole range of things from problems, news, my friends, life, gossip, opinions and past memories (mostly to do with my brother when he was younger). I love my mum she is one of the most funniest caring strongest ladies I know.. I love my dad too he is as stubborn as a mule and very blunt about things but I wouldn't want another dad for the world no matter how much we argue on things... ^__^

Most of the conversation with my mum was about my older brother moving out sometime later this year - early next year.. I miss him already.. He is my big brother and my best/closest Friend I'm going to miss our stupid, hyper, loud, cheerful, craziness we usually share when we hang out together and all our inside sibling only jokes and so much more.. but I knew this was going to happen eventually I just didn't realise how soon it would be... (oh and my mums not forcing him out this is my brother own decision encase that how its seems in print form)

First Week of Mid-year Break

Monday Tuesday I was sick with a cold so I slept most the time, Wednesday I was still a bit ill but was well enough to go to a mate’s birthday party and dance the night away. Thursday was spent cleaning up my room and putting things I no longer want into bags for the op shop (I think the U.S call it a good will store?). Friday was spent getting measurements and taking notes on a dress for an above healthy weight women. Saturday was spent playing fallout 3 and cleaning up the front room from when my mates slept over last weekend :p

Sunday I went to a Baptism, first time I've been to mass in just over two years, my family was late cause it was in the middle of nowhere, in some hall at the back of a private school. one of the helpers stopped me on the way in and asked me if I wanted to take the offering down to the front I was like eh then kind just walked off after my mum I didn't really understand him until I got to my seat then I was oh but yea it was too late for me to go back and do that so I just sat there. My new baby cousin J is the cutest little thing, they splashed holy water onto his forehead the priest said he had a look that said why are you pouring this wet stuff on my head? Followed by get it off get it off!! He stated crying after that as babies do xD.  

I should probably mention since we are talking about a religious ceremony, I don't believe in organised religion  I do believe in god but that’s as far as my beliefs go, my mum and myself are Agnostic (my dad’s an atheist and so is my older brother). I have no problem with religious people as long as they don't force their beliefs onto other people. I have gone though baptism and all that as a part of my primary school years, yea I'm a former catholic school girl xD

But anyway back to what I was saying before I got sidetracked  xD I have never seen so many young kids in such a small place before, it was all young families with children there. My family sat in front of a family with 9 kids 5 of which were sick!, if your children are sick they should be at home resting or playing video games in a pillow fort surrounded by blankets, they wouldn't understand the religious ceremony any ways so it wouldn't be a loss for them. 

 

The little after party was kind of weird; it was at this really nice bar/restaurant place called "The Chase". It was weird  for me because my former head of house was there as well she apparently is friends with my aunty I thought I was seeing things at first until E came up to me and said hello. The priest was there too I've never been to a religious thing where the priest comes along to the little celebration after woods it was kind of cool. 

(let’s call the priest L) L is a pretty nice guy he is 73 and has a glass eye; it fell out why he was talking to my dad and me.  which was gross but kind of cool too I have never seen what's behind the eye before in person so I was grossed and intrigued by it xD. L was like hold on and he just reach down and plopped it right back in the socket and continue talking O_o. L was asking me about my course of studies and asked me if I would be interested in making a modern twist on vestments (priest robes) I said maybe because I didn’t know  what a vestment was I thought he said investments at first xD. L wished me well with my studies and future endeavours over all L has got to be one of the most down to earth priests I have ever talked to.

I got a few compliments on the dress I was wearing it was a light purple shear dress with a tight fitted bodice and with shear flounces for the skirt. I also got compliments on my hair mainly because I haven't seen the family on my dad’s side in a year so the last time they saw me I had my natural hair colour black-brown at shoulder length so they had a surprise when I walked into to  the chapel with short violet hair xD

That’s about it I am sick today again I caught whatever those kids had <.<, I'll do a separate post for intake later,

Lots of Love,
