So far it's great. The writing assignments are very thoughtful. I haven't actually put pen to paper yet (due to exams, yet again) but I have been thinking about what I want to write, and I've got a little journal to put them all in.<br /><br />The photography theme for this week was "feet". Here's one of mine. I took with my rubbish little compact while waiting on the train. There's a few more in my Flickr, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/angeltreats/sets/72157617874135165/">here</a>.<br /></div>

My exams: two opposing views.

One of the examiners gave me a chocolate at the end of it! I was actually saying to my workmates that at the start of every exam, students should be supplied with chocolate and coffee. This was at the end of the exam, and I had to bring my own coffee, but it's definitely a step in the right direction :)<br /></div>

Sleepy catdog

Elvis is worn out from chasing The Nothing* round the house all day and is now having a full-on slob across the back of the sofa. I grabbed the nearest pen (a fine nibbed calligraphy marker) and did a couple of very quick sketches of him.<br /><br />Number one. This is on the back of some paper I had been using to try and break in a new very scratchy nib, which is what all the funny shapes are.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8CZ6lIqZW58nF_mJugHCg1eJpMssitM5VhRznhAmOrZLYHNd6f5g86S4kkoceWgDRYFU-DbtPknHxAtufDsCZnp9RH7bpoJbugzs4Z36IpKlaJO1q17ikL6ZrzDYVsrCucjAc1jGSHI/s1600-h/elvis002.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332066086248171682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8CZ6lIqZW58nF_mJugHCg1eJpMssitM5VhRznhAmOrZLYHNd6f5g86S4kkoceWgDRYFU-DbtPknHxAtufDsCZnp9RH7bpoJbugzs4Z36IpKlaJO1q17ikL6ZrzDYVsrCucjAc1jGSHI/s400/elvis002.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 256px;" /></a><br /><br />Number two.

Bad webcam photo but just look how huge he is. I measured him and he's about 24 inches long.

He likes to chase it round the house at 3am.
