On Monday, I had my art history lecture and then, later that night, Laura and I walked to Iceland (our cheap grocery store down the hill from our flat) and bought ingredients for omelets. We made the best omelets. Laura made hers with fresh tomatoes, cheese, and spinach. I made mine with onions, spinach, ham, cheese, and mushrooms. Yummmm.
On Tuesday, I woke up early for sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art at 9:30am. I really don't mind getting up for that class because I love it so much. I really wish I could have sculpture more than once a week. It's so relaxing and we get tea and chocolate. We "finished" our first sculptures on Tuesday and next week we make a new one with the same model. After our model, Elaine, leaves us next week we get a new model named Andrew. I brought my photography camera to sculpture with me because after class I wanted to finish my roll of film for developing. I ended up taking some great photos but I didn't finish the whole roll. I had art history again from 3-4pm and then at 5:20, Laura and I walked to the gym and went to a BoxFit class from 5:30-6:15. Our other friends, Laura, Lindsey, and Sarah were there as well, so we all had a great time punching and kicking around. It was a huge class in the gym and a great workout. (I'm sitting in my room now, a day later, unable to move my arms above my head very quickly without it hurting.) After the gym, we had another family dinner with some of the leftovers from our fajitas and some new ingredients. Sarah made chicken quesadillas and they were wonderful. I finished my roll of film at dinner, taking pictures of people and random things in the kitchen. I'm actually really excited to see them blown up.
My final sculpture...I never really finished the face.
Another view of my sculpture.
After dinner we decided to go to Oran Mor for drinks and dancing. They had a great DJ and we were dancing until around 1am. All of us had class in the morning, but each song kept getting better and we could not get ourselves to leave the club. Anyway, we finally got to bed around 2 or 2:30.
Today, we were woken up by the fire alarm going off in our flat. I thought we could sleep through it and not have to get out of bed, but after a few minutes we heard other people leaving the flat to go outside. It was 8am and my alarm was supposed to go off at 8:45, so I was very annoyed that the fire drill was at that time. After the drill, we went back up to the flat, slept until 9am, and then woke up to get ready for photography. I developed my film today and the photos, from what I can tell looking at them up against the light, look awesome. I'm so excited to make some prints. After photography, I walked to bagpiping and had my lesson with Glenn from 1-2pm. It went well, I finally bought my own practice chanter and I will be able to bring it home with me! For my next lesson I have to have the exercises down and be able to play a little tune. I plan on practicing every day until my lesson. The bagpipes are definitely not as easy as I thought they were going to be. The chanter looks like a recorder but it is a lot harder to play than the recorder I played in elementary school.
After bagpiping, I took the underground back to Hillhead, and now I'm back in my flat hanging out here for the night. We're thinking of taking it easy tonight and having a girls night. I bought some face masks and I have some nail polish, so we might do a movie and girly night tonight.
Tomorrow I don't have class until 3pm, but I will go to the gym in the morning and then maybe work on editing my Top Chef video some more.
Love and miss you all!
Love always,
Jess
Yay Top Chef video! Do it!!!
