aHA! 'tis a messy, messy world!

This must be (except for Christmas of course) the best time of year! There's no homework or crazy assignments (if one ignore the "roadpricing essay" - which one has) and the classes consists of crying teachers (à la "oh noes, now we'll never see each other again!!" - to which we reply "yeah that is so (not) sad!") and beer. Beer because beer is nice and usually quite cheap and people are currently saving money for vacation or Roskilde. 
I'm not going to Roskilde as supposed to because of my trip to Egypt, but I really hope that it'll be some nice weather this year (as supposed to the swamp last year). 
Of course this can't be classified as the best time of year because of the exams (which has let to many a rant from me - I'll shut up about it this time, promise). 

At the moment our house looks like Berlin anno 1945 because we're getting new windows, bathrooms etc and my room is now promoted to "piles of stuff not able to fit into other parts of the house" which means I'm sort of living in the "land of boxes/books/furniture/vegetables" - it's not exactly making me happy but I'll try to live with it. In the meantime I'll just use my rage in a constructive way like yelling at people.

found an old doodle on my computer - not sure what to do with it

Spring weather - joy!

Finally! Summer and sun is here and everything is (for once) going fine.
I'm using an incredible amount of time on homework and school in general due to the final grades are given tomorrow and the exam-classes are revealed. After that there's no reason to try getting better grades = relaxing for once! 
I really, really hope I don't get the French exam 'cause "je ne parle pas français" at all... but then again, one of the alternatives is math - which is worse.
Written math exam is next Wednesday (and I'm not prepared at all) ... I actually just realized it was that close a week ago... Holy Moly! What to do?! 
(...aaaand I'm actually just repeating myself from last post - I guess my life isn't that interesting... heh).
  
I'm quite busy with the exam stuff at the moment and the massive amount of birthday parties I have to go to. How come everyone is born in the spring?! 

The picture is the sketch used for Ironwulfen's (www.ironwulfen.deviantart.com) birthday gift (which is so closed to being finished that it's ridiculous!) 
It's not the greatest I admit...

Depressing weather and a dead squirrel

My birthday was simply fantastic with some pretty good spring weather, good food and nice people! 
My friends and I ended up camping around my hookah after the other guest had gone home and I found some old coconut tobacco (don't try that stuff at home kiddos) and we had beer and strawberries which must be the three weirdest things ever to mix though I seem to recall it tasted good...
I still can't get the smell of sweet coconut out of my hookah though so my room stinks!

The weather is like a teenager with bipolar disorder very moody and swinging between sunshine and warm weather and back to grey, rainy, depressing weather. 
It's sort of the same like me. One moment I'm happy and relaxed (and quite creative) and the next I'm depressed and stressing out because of exams and grades these next weeks. 

Next friday I'll know weather I'm going to have an oral French exam (oh my...!) or if it's going to be math, religion, classical studies or physical geography (oh my....!)
Really, can't we just skip exams this year please?
But before that we get our grades and I have my written math exam which I'm dreading more than anything... wish me luck!

And about the dead squirrel. I found it laying on the road (didn't exactly cheer me up) all dead and pretty flat... My sister and I buried it in our garden and now we're both sick because of the rain... joy. As my father so elegantly put it: "I've always wanted to hold a squirrel but I didn't imagine it would be in a situation like this" ... and it was very, very cute..

And now to sketches I for different reasons haven't added to my dA account yet... Most of these was done quite randomly and deserves no deskription at all




Above: A picture I did for my sister of her rabbit and my own as humans. It was actually quite fun to do. Mine is the one to the right (called Zimba Houdini - guess why and get a cookie)
