Have had many attempts at getting back 'into' art and creative stuff over summer, but sadly I haven't yet regained the energy and motivation.

Looking forward to the day that I find something I'm pretty good at (other than Guitar Hero ).

Don't watch this space, you'll pass out at your desk.

Students 'living in fear' after burglaries at Polhill campus.

Students say they fear for their safety following a number of burglaries at the University of Bedfordshire.

Beds Police are currently investigating break-ins at the Polhill Avenue campus halls of residence in Bedford, which took place over the Christmas break.

But undergraduates are worried about their safety as they believe master keys were used to gain access to their rooms – and, because the university has not changed the locks, the culprit could strike again.

Dawn Vidican, 33, a third-year education studies student, had her room broken into.

She said: "The master keys were used in many cases, we're all concerned about safety and some of the girls are having trouble sleeping.

"Many of them are only 19 or 20 years old and have started to have nightmares.

"Three days after the burglaries the university had not changed the locks or the codes to the doors and they have still not changed the locks now.

"They did not even tell some of the girls there had been a burglary over Christmas."

A spokesman for Beds Police confirmed they had received reports of burglaries at the university halls and that officers believed keys may have been involved.

A spokesman for the university said: "There have been a small number of burglaries at the Bedford campus which the police are currently investigating.

"The university is cooperating fully with these investigations.
"We work very closely with Bedfordshire Police whose community support officers hold regular surgeries for students to answer questions and provide crime prevention and safety advice."

The university did not wish to comment on whether keys had been used in the burglaries.

...and my internet sucks.

18th birthday party just finished, I'm pooped and barely got any sleep at all. I now come on and find my trainer card ID has been home-run-batted out of my deviations due to art theft. Yeah. GJ dA, only a billion internet trainer cards left to delete.

I needed a new one anyway...

I'm not doing much art-wise right now other than the odd doodle, just can't be arsed/turns out bad/get bored. I'm eager to put some art up, but until I find something fun to work with I'm stuck.

A-level results come on Thursday 14th, hopefully everything will turn out fine and I'll be packing up my things and going to university, woot.

Tired, time for nap...

Just some update/ramble before I sleep.

Art exam is far behind me now, next up is a stream of my final June exams. 5 actually, 3 of which I need to revise for. So all in all, it isn't so bad. Laid all my commitments and things-to-do out on the table today and for once I feel somewhat organised.

Trying to keep myself relaxed between revision with some WoW, Tomb Raider (although that's more terror than relaxation!), reading and the odd idea for artwork. Just having spots of each to keep it safe while exams blow over, then it's off to Finland for July (looking at 20th June to 3rd August). I'm so excited, and the prospect (together with the fantastic guy himself) is keeping me fairly happy.

Will spent some time with friends at parties and whatnot before and after that, then I'm leaving home It's a scary thought despite the fact I'll only be 20mins away.

Keep on drawing.
