Tomorrow it all begins...... I start a two week placement in a local nursery (pre-school). I will be surrounded by 61 children from 830AM till 330PM. It will not be pretty. They are between the ages of 3-5. And I'm scared of them. They cannot control their bowels, they have runny noses, and they smell weird. This will be the longest two weeks of my life. I have a hard enough time understanding grown up Glaswegians, now I must translate the musings of mumbling, incoherent spawns of the nation. Say a prayer for me please!
I fear this is what I will encounter for the next little while.....

Last weekend we went to visit Jessica's brother Matthew and wife Stephanie near Edinburgh. It was quite a good weekend. It was Burns Night on Saturday so we had the traditional meal of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. MMMMMMM..... Uncle Roland was also there, as was Jess' other brother Sam, with his wife Aileen and newborn son Rory. So, what did we do for fun? Besides drink? We played Scale-Electrics!!! (Electric Cars..) As you can see from the pictures below. It was quite intense. Many grueling races. I had trouble however as I was not used to driving on the wrong side of the road.


Down by the Bay
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a bear?
Combing his hair?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goose?
Kissing a moose?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a whale?
With a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a pig?
Wearing a wig?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a cat?
Wearing a hat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a dragon?
Pulling a wagon?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goat?
Wearing a coat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever have a time?
When you couldn't find a rhyme?"
Down by the bay.
----THE END----

Well hello one and all. This week has been so very exciting at University. We had to choose an Option Class to take at University. I chose Art. I did this because I am crap at art. What will i teach the children?? So I figured that this option would be for me. I appear to have taken the 'easy' option, as others have to write essays, debate global warming, and speak German. I however get to use crayons, paint and glue sticks. Whay a joy! So after the first week of art, I thought I should share some of my creations.
This is a feather. Enough said. Man am I good.



I got in trouble from the art teacher on this one. Its a castle. Apparently we were 'supposed' to make realistic looking castles. Now if you look at mine what do you see? YES, its quite obvious that my castle is a bunch of faces. The teacher didnt see this. She told me to "Look at the blue piece and tell me what you see?" and I replied, "Its a face!" she then said, "NOw did you mean to make it look like a face?" and I then acted very surprised and shocked that it was actually a face. She didnt find this very amusing. "This isnt perspective art!" "I'll let you get away with it this time!" Thanks lady. Whatever happened to being creative? She was crushing my aritsitc direction. No creativity allowed I guess.....

If you can guess what this is you should receive a prize. We were given pictures of actual monkeys, arangutans, apes etc... Our goal was to copy one of them using shape. This is what happened. I am in a class with 30 artists, all of which made exceptional monkeys. And I come up with something that looks like whatever the hell this is......

And last but not least. I call this Cheese Burger Face. I modelled it after Jessica. She was my inspiration. This is the face seh makes when she wants a cheeseburger. Its probably the most life like and realistic art i've done. Also, I was a rebel on this one. We were supposed to make the shirt a tartan print. I was ma about the castle fiasco, so I did polka dots. I really showed her didnt I?
