i don't know why i make such a chore of updating my blog. i avoid it like it's work or something...
but now the holidays are over and i'm back to work, so now is as good a time as any. 
I've had so little time for art lately. I've had so little time for anything really. time just keeps whizzing past me and i don't know where it's gone and my feet can't seem to reach the brake pedals.
I'm starting back to school this year. I'm going to do a degree at the open university which lets you study mostly from home, which is good because i certainly don't have time to go to a traditional university.  My goal is to become a teacher over here in england. but first i have to figure out how the hell they teach math over here. it's certainly not the way that i learned it! i don't think that teachers really get the freedom that they used to, i think that they pretty much have to teach what they're told.....which is probably why education isn't as good as it used to be...i suppose i'll learn all that eventually, but first i have to get a UK degree, and then i can apply to a teacher training qualification course.
i'm antsy, and i need change.....i hate the fact that it's going to take so long, i'm not used to thinking in the long term, i'll always been more of a "live in the here and now" person...but i guess that only works for so long...now i've actually got to plan something out and work towards it...i'm sure that i can, it will just be a long slow process.

ah well, there you have it! and update from me
I hope you all have had a brilliant start to the new year and that it just gets better from here on out!
