Well, today wasn't my day..


A beautiful rainy day in Aillas

First in the morning I wake up, get in to the tram and realise on my way, that the essay I had take with me (the one I needed to do for to day) was the 1st version of it! Not the good one as obvious.. shiiit. and the next class will be the last one, oh well..

THEN, when I finally arrive at the university, I go to buy a coffee. Happy to have it, I start to climb up the stairs and well OUPS.....I fall down....with my coffee..
Luckily, it didn't fall on me. And I hadn't even touched it!!!

After another essay we wrote on class, we were discussing about the topic on tram with my friends, I realize I had wrote in the introduction (about "What pushes an artist to make a representation of him/herself?") that since the FIFTH century the artists have been making autoportaits... I meant to write since FIFTEENTH century.. another shit!

Until the night I didn't do anything stupid... Around seven I was about to take a train to mon chéri's, but he hadn't told his parents, who should have come to pick me up, and well, they had left somewhere, where he couldn't reach them. A night alone then...
 I arrive back home, I go to the frigde and want to drink some apple juice... well, dunno HOW it happened, but I tropped it on the ground...it was a glass bottle... and yes, it did broke. I didn't mention it was almost full??!

Well, this was Iida's Thursday's Gone Bad, hope I'm not gonna have many of these...
I have this dreaming about travels -feeling after having read my drawing teacher's comic book about the life in Madagascar, so I probably gonna watch Eat Pray Love just to tease myself.. hehe.
And to dream even more.
Well, I enjoyed sharing this with you, thanks for it.
Bye bye!

Long time no see

I'm sorry haven't been really active blogger lately, because of all the work I have had to do and still do! And because of some technical problems with internet..

I wanted to write in English so that most of my friends would be able to read this.
It's incredible how the time flyes, I'm almost done with my first year of university!
I have less than two weeks left of classes, 4 exams to go..
Eventhough I'm not so found of this French University system, I can't say I haven't learned anything.
I've learned to draw better, to analyse my thoughts and productions, to mix painting to find other colors, new techniques, art history, contemporary art, aesthetics, methodics (that i really think is worth of nothing..), graphics, cinema history and even Spanish!
Fantastico!

I've got lots of new friends, learned how to live alone (or almost alone..) and to enjoy my time, as I didn't know it anyways muhaha.. Enjoy Bordeaux and the lovely contryside.

Nevertheless, I'm happy for the end.
I really look forward to the time, I can just do or create what and whenever I want, enjoy the weather or just do nothing. Nothing at all.

The 9th May we'll head up to Irland with mon chéri for 3 awesome weeks, it'll be amazing.
Then I hope I'll pop up to Finland for an entrance exam to see everybody and enjoy Finnish summer, the best of them all!
And to be able to stop in Scotland at my cousin's with my dear friend Liina and retour to Bordeaux with her and our lovely Linda!! Second round for Chat qui pêche and all the pubs in Bordeaux, beware youselves people, it's gonna be Le-gendary!

I gotta retour to my work, but I just wanted to present you some photography of my latest work for Personal Mythologies. These photos are just the main elements in my final work, you'll get to see it soon enough, pinky promise!!

Love, Iida
