Many choices...One future

Right...

I'm a bit down and confused as anything.

Till now, I am confirmed to be going back to University next October, repeating first year Architecture. Now, there are stuff I like in the course, I mean the whole design process is fun, although a bit restricted. The rest of the topics and lessons are what really put me off. Also I'm not sure I imagine myself doing the job of an Architect for the rest of my working life. On the other hand, it's a good well respected and well earning job, wanting to have a family one day, those are really good plus points.
I was speaking to a great friend of mine about this, and she also reminded me about another course in Uni. I had never really given it much thought, but, as she pointed out, my photo adiction, camera passion, photoshop, sketching and editing 'skills' make me a very good canditate to do something serious with the Comunications Course. I could do that and I don't think I'll ever get bored of it, also I think it could pay well, not as much as Architecture, fair enough, but enough to keep a family for sure. Also from this line of studies, I could go on to my dream...eventually...animation. But even If i don't...you know....
Then of course, in the back of my mind, there is always the 'buggering university' option. By this I don't mean stopping studying, but I mean going into MCAST, Art and Design, and going into Graphic Design. This of course is the course where I can express most of my artistic self, I can go crazy, and although it will be hard to get to the top, If i manage to make a name for myself and at least get into the top few on the island (thinking realistic and not saying 'on the globe')I could live off it nicely. There is a lot of work for Graphic Designers, if they're good enough, in this culture where advertisments are getting more and more complex and need more and more work.
Of course I could always do one and then the other, like do the communication course and while starting working in that line, start the MCAST course to open up my options even more. But would mean I'm going to be studying until the minimum age of 28...I like to hope I'de be settled down by then.
The problem is either I decide soon, or I'm going back to Architecture for another year whether I like it or not. So please pray for me that I might know, soon, what the Big Guy has planned for me.
Bloody choices!

injury

Great weekend!! GREAT WEEKEND! brilliant time with all my friends, Met my Uni friends by chance at uni on friday after paintball, Dezz's house on Saturday, and Marks bbq on Sunday...Great weekend...Monday great Drama session..."I don't mind being behind him." lol and ysterday we filmed the pentecaust dance:

Now, I have been asked kindly not to mention the oming incident, but, hell, it's too funny not to.
(Especially for you Mrs. Tabone Ferante, I know you read all our blogs)
Well, me and drew had to go film the dance, so we arranged with Sarah to pick us and the equipment up from Jonathan's house. Now I'm not going to pick on the fact that she arrived fifteen minutes late. That's fine, and we can live with that. What I'm going to comment on, is that after we put the stuff into the booth, and Andrew was getting into the car,(with one foot still on the road) Sarah started driving off. She stopped after like seven seconds of going down hill with Drew hopping to keep up. The important thing, the funniest, and the most worrying is that, SHE RAN OVER HIS FOOT!!(and didnt notice) I still don't know how he is, I tried calling him this morning but he didn't pick up. so...thanks to drew for filming the whole dance with an injured foot, AND a cut finger, which he got a bit later on in the evening.
Well...the filming took long, and we finished at around 11.30pm, we living on just a crosant....wasn't in the most friendly of moods, u can imagine.
And thats about it....

last full week of work... next week i work three days, and the one after only two...and then i start getting ahead on some uni work for first yr.

tonight Matthew's party at Amazonia, should be fun

"CUT!"

Splash of Colour

The sun beat down on the two soldiers as they waited crouching behind the thin wooden wall. The only sound to be heard was of gun shot and bullets hitting their protective barrier. A sudden movement to their right made them look up: Mig was makin a break for a hut in the middle of the battle field which was a valuable stratigical point. All of a sudden a splash of colour and Mig was down. An other victim of this insanity. No time to react to the loss, as the whistle of a bullet flying too close for comfort makes them refocus. They duck down even lower to the ground.



After a few seconds, one of them risks a glance over the barrier and sees a soldier from the yellow army making a run for a mound closer to their base. With no feeling whatsoever, except maybe hope that the shot will not go wasted, he pulls the trigger repetedly, and another splash of colour and the enemy soldier went down. He ducks out of sight as bullets from multiple directions come whizzing towards him.



Back at the base the three soldiers left behind as a last defence looked in awe at the bravery of their fellow soldiers running around on the battle field risking all for their common cause. A bullet hits the wall of the base and the three of them duck out of sight. But cramped conditions and nervous people are sometimes more dangerous than the enemy. A shot rings out and a shout of agony rips through the sound of gun fire on the battle field. Friendly fire is an uncommon occurance, but when it happens, the spirit of the army falls.



The two soldiers behind the wall were getting edgy, they had heard the shot and shout, and knew well enouph what had just happened, the heat was getting to them as well. The decision was made. They waited for gun fire the calm down a bit. They both rose above the barrier guns blazing, he sprints towards the barrier five meters further towards the enemy base still shooting while she stood shooting and providing cover, he covered the distance quickly and dived for cover not caring about the pain the ground would cause. He landed heavily and scrambled to a crouching position to shoot towards the enemy soldier pinning down a team mate across the field.



The defenders in the base saw the sprint, but they also saw the eney soldier in the far corner of the field, rising slowly to finish off their daring friend. There was no way to warn him. They watched in horror.



The gun shot made him crouch lower and the bullet hit him in the arm. The second one got him in the back. The shock, the pain, the dissapointment.

A whistle blew.

"Who was the idiot that shot me twice?"
"Wasn't sure I got you with the first one."
"@$$ hole"
:)

The soldiers of both 'armies' gathered together boasting about the great feats they had just witnessed. Water was passed around, the shot were counted, the guns reloaded, and then...

A whistle blew.

Soldiers burst out of their bases sprinting for the best positions while bullets wizzed passed, coming from the trigger happy people staying behind to defend...



paint ball was great, Thanks to all of you who came and made it a great event I'll never forget, and thanks to Luca for organizing it. The team spirit was amazing. No hatred or hard feelings on the field.
Thanks to Dezz for providing the photos: more photos on Sarah's blog.
