Feeling "Bloggish"

You can probably tell - it's my second blog of the day. Not even dressed yet, but come on - it's Sunday! Gah, still got my art homework to do, but whatever. Last week we drew self-portraits so our homework is to add "toning and shading" - woo. We never get to be creative in art anymore, we're always drawing fruit and stuff, aha.
I was going to blog on this new site I've found: green metropolis. It's where you can buy and sell books and it's all eco-friendly, but I'm not too sure whether it's avaliable in the UK since the web address is dot com. ALSO I'm pretty sad that T4's show, Frock Me is over ): It was hosted by the beautiful Alexa Chung and fabulously talented Henry Holland, I loved it!
I have a disappointingly unsociable week ahead of me. It's basically going to be school, band, school, violin, school, orchestra, school, school, weekend, blah. Mind you, recently I have been saying no to all invitations to social events due to revision and coursework. I'm kind of like Danny Wallace at the beginning of Yes Man. However, that doesn't mean I am going to become a "Yes Woman" and start saying yes to everythig, because in times like these a girl's got to just keep her head down and not make a fuss. Speaking of books, for our English lit we're studying Frankenstien. Now most people were either really excited or totally not looking foward to it - me? I was neither. I'd never read Frankenstien or watched the film, and most of the stories I've heard aren't the true Frankenstien - Mary Shelley's Frankenstien that is. So I went down to Bay Tree Books and bought it (: It's actually pretty good. I actually enjoy old classics e.g. Pride and Predjudice, Tess of the D'urbervilles, etc. Aaaaand, without sounding as if I'm cutting this short, I have to go - my art "toning and shading" is calling...
Ciao, oxox
