ROBERT DONLAN said 'Dont give up on chasing girls, cos soon you will be too old to chase girls. Once you hit 20 you find yourself becoming too sensible to chase.'. and here's me just considering starting... tell me it's never too late. well. two in two. too. and the real 'reason'? I mentioned having a critique when I posted last. yesterday. I was awake for forty seven hours beforehand. I turned up at a quarter to one. loaded with drawings and all. looking like I'd done a lot of work. I'm sure. perhaps even looking a bit like an architect. then I discovered the criticising had begun at nine a.m. and was scheduled to end at one p.m.. I caught the tail-end of the last person in my group. and I didn't get criticised. except about my time-keeping. so. I was there. still with my coat on. still with my bag on my back. still with my rolls of drawings in hand. under arm. and an inane [I'm sure], sleep-deprived, not-actually-concerned-anymore look on my face. with appropriate perspiration. I sat down by one of my tutors. the one with the glasses. the one whose eyes seem like holes. and I smiled at him. and told him I wasn't sure where I was. and that it was unfortunate. and that I wouldn't be submitting. and he said something about 'always excuses'. and I nodded. I'm surprised he didn't say 'always nodding'. then he said we should meet next week. to...sort it out. I went back to my flat. and after fifty waking hours. I managed only ten asleep. and woke again in the early hours of the morning unable to sleep. I do it to myself. and I can't figure out why. I have to concoct a believable excuse for tuesday. what can I say? the computers in the department are no good? I've been bothered by factors outwith my influence? I got new shoes and they hurt my ankles? elsewhere in my life. things are pretty okay. maybe that's my problem; I have elsewhere in my life. perhaps I should git devoted. or something. tsk. bye-bye, richard. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
