I hereby work undercover for the British Royal Family. I'm supposed to tell no-one, but I figured that writing it openly like this would be the best way to conceal it, since no-one in their right mind would believe me.

Now onto something less outrageous. November is cold.
I really couldn't have written two accurate statements in a row, right? That'd be insane.

Preceeding statements aside, I really wish it was not this week now. Along with being an extra-busy week with a project, more classes, early morning and whatnot, it is also preventing me from doing something I really want to do. So I do really wish for it to not be this week anymore.
Yeah week, you really suck.

Speaking of project, today I made a packaging for sugarlumps. It was all sorts of fun, especially the part where my project-mate's ADHD-ridden Pug puked on my chair. Or the sitcom-amount of troubles that arose as we were putting on the finishing touches. But, y'know, at least it looks friggin awesome. Read also: Photoshop is fun.

Now I have to go either play Tekken 6 or sleep. Both are about equally important.

Only most of the week left now, hahah.

Time is no longer my friend. It's like this thing it has started with that all hours following 8 PM will go at trice the normal speed.
It's a development I am not that fond of.

3 AM here, and I have to go to bed (really) so that I will wake up in time for a class-appointment at 1 PM. There's something wrong with things if you're afraid of not waking up in time for something after noon, but I am incredibly stubborn when it comes to beds and having to get up from them. Whenever me and my body start our tug-of-war it usually end with my loss and another hour in bed.
I kid you not. I could write a book about it. And it would be pretty boring. Because after 3 pages I would start telling myself what a bad idea it was to start writing a book about getting out of bed.

I AM writing this journal though, because today I've been somewhat active and I felt like I was on a stroke or something. My illness have left a wake of not doing anything in it's wake, and I've spent a lot of my days living up to said trope.
I have been going to class for the last week though. That's not saying much, since that entailed one class and one radiobroadcast and not much more. I am, however, better. In the sense that I don't lie under the sheets all day and am actually able to cook dinner for myself again. All that lingers is a cough and a mild cold, so I think it's safe to say I am not dying, but I don't want to jinx anything, so here's an image of kittens: [link]
Adorable!

On a completely related note. This last week they started airing an anime-adaption of a manga I recently started reading: Fairy Tale. I was pretty psyched and liked it. Though some choices of colors were pretty batshit insane. I guess, though, if the main character's hair is gonna be pink you can just take the brightest version instead of picking, y'know, a fitting tone of the color. But I'm no artcritic.
Also, apparently I've watched enough of the damn things to recognize a voiceactress to the point it is almost ruining a character (for me). That has me worried. A lot. Maybe I won't be able to sleep tonight after all.

But that aside, my life is pretty dull at the moment. Being sick does that to you, but I kinda wish someone would just randomly ring my doorbell and drag me out on adventure.

*sigh* I really should get started on playing NHL2010 for that review. Tomorrow.

Old journal, out of the way, I'm gonna throw you out of the window.
*picks it up but stops himself*
Oh right, I can't because they are being worked on. And open. For the third day now.

Sure, that wouldn't have been a bother, had I not been sick during exactly those days, and due to the fact that my bed is right next to the damn things, I can't stay in it. That's why I am writing this. To occupy my time as they are being finished. Then I can go BACK to bed, and rest, watching streamed children's cartoons to make my time go faster, since I'm not able to sleep more than just a couple of hours a day.

I am coughing, missing lessons, and am unable to work.

Hopefully it's soon gone. Just like the windowpainters.

Addition: Thursday, and I am still in bed. And I reeeeaaaally would've liked if my roommate could stop bringing people over. It's the third day in a row he has someone here, and given that the three first days I had to have window-painters here, there's REALLY not even one day I get to rest it through in peace.

Since I woke up at 3 PM I have not accomplished anything today.
Well I did figure something out that is neither here nor there, and that won't really affect my life. Just something that dawned on me.

Other than that, I say I am pretty hopeless when I am not trying to be funny, aren't I?
Maybe I lost faith, or maybe I am mentally exhausted after last night.
 
 
 
 
Today already ended several hours ago.

Ok, I won't really be honest about the color green, like advertised in my title. And for that I am sorry, I know some of you clicked on that in honest hope that that is what I would be talking about. Yet such is not the case. I can't really be honest about the color green at this point in my life, and if I one day decide to come clean, I think my choice of medium will be different.
We'll see. That point is in the future.

Honestly speaking, though, lately I cannot help but feel...I feel...
No, my bad, let's not talk about such matters.

A week ago I spent all night working on my first project for school. It's a packaging-course. I didn't get in where I hoped to, though I was close as just 2nd reserve. But, it seems like everyone stuck there, so I'm out of luck.
But it's alright, I'll be taking this packaging course and two courses about web to keep me afloat this term. Then I have somewhat 3 weeks to decide what to do next term. Mma, they have the selection-process too early in the term, I only just started.

Anyway, packaging-course. It's interesting. The goal with each project is to make a packaging that looks like it would fit into the shelfspace of a store.
First project was a catfood-package, and after putting my heart into creating it this is how it turned out:

Sorry for the bad quality, it is still in school and that is just a quick snapshot I took with my cell.
Anyhow, just wanted to show you guys since it'll be a while until it is entered properly into my gallery.

That's...all for now, I think.

Stay afloat.
