art is the only way to run away without leaving home

                      
Finished my art exam this week, created a self portrait that looks slightly like me (note it is the mirror image of myself). Was a bit adventurous with the background. Don't know how to feel when I paint myself. In half term at the moment, don't want holidays to end sigh....

I went to Granada for a week during the Easter holidays  (though if you saw my suitcase, you'd have thought I was going for a month) to practise my Spanish with school. I fell in love with the weather, the cheap supermarket food and the "freedom". The first thing I bought a new pair of gold sunglasses (which you can see me wearing in a few on the photos above), and spent majority of my money on jewellery (every euro worth it). I hope to go back to Spain soon sometime. But right now, I've got to prepare for my exams which start... tomorrow. (Probably should be revising right now, not blogging!)
