First off - a friend of mine, KBStudio at DeviantART, needs well-wishes and help. A lovely dog she took in recently, nicknamed Horse, has been diagnosed heartworm positive. $500 needs to be raised to pay for the healthcare needed - she and other artists are offering cheap commissions to fund Horse's treatment.
Even if you can't donate or buy a commission, they both would really appreciate thoughts and kind words. Thank you.
In other news, yesterday I went for my first university interview (for my second-choice university). I was a little surprised when they asked us to leave our portfolios in a room, for the work would be looked at while we were having the mini-tour and the presentation, but other than that things went rather smoothly. I've never really done the interviewing thing well; I can stumble over my words and do a lot of gesticulating - but I feel I got my thoughts across fairly well. Two others from my college also applied here and I got to see them yesterday too. I already knew about one guy applying, but didn't expect the other person to walk through the door as I didn't know she'd applied! We didn't get a huge chance to talk, my interview was done before either of theirs was, but I expect some time on Monday will be devoted to discussion. :3 I shall find out whether I have an invitation or not next week, over UCAS Track. I'm a little nervous.
I also ended up in Oxford last Tuesday, for a field trip. I'd asked my tutor if I could miss out on this one as my portfolio needed doing, but he recommended I still go anyway. We visited the Natural History Museum (which was pretty awesome, 'specially their collection of bugs and butterflies and a room of UV light!), the Pitt-Rivers (some things were interesting, but the floor we specifically went to see isn't going to open until May ... booooo) and the Ashmolean (my favourite of the three, this was wonderful).
I do have photos! Later, they shall be uploaded.
