Vera is nolonger in England

...or Cornwall for that sake...

Since my last update was from Brittany, at some point just after Easter I decided it was time.

It's been an exciting, scary, wonderful and depressing almost half year. Relax, I won't go trough all of it here, that would take a bazillion years, and once again I am doing this in the middle of the night.

Short recap:

- Went to NY, it was good
- Had final show and sent my work to New Designers, that was good too.
- Last drunken nights in Fal. fun was had.
- Leaving Fal, not very fun. I miss you all <3
- My new job at Archeological museum on Stavanger was super fun. I worked with many lovely people and had a lot of silly times and sarcasm times. I also became quite good at needlebinding.
- 22. July, Utøya massacre. I din't know anyone who was there but it hit all of Norway hard. You can read a lot about this on other blogs, so I won't go in to it. But it broke something in me.
- Graduating was very very good, I got to meet all my England people again.
- Went to London for an interview and messed it up. Saw Wicked though, that was amazing.
- Seasonal job was over in September, and now I'm pretty much unemplyed.


Lately I've been sitting around at home trying to do work. Its been quite depressing because I have had time to think of my work and my life. In my experience thinking is not very productive for me. I tend to over analyze everyting, and that makes me very self concious about work and me and life. I've applied for a few "breadwinning jobs" and I am still working on my new website. It is going rather slowly, because I am using dreamweaver, and I have lost some of my notes for how that works. I am also not happy with the design, but I realise I just need to get it up now, and I am pushing trough. I need that up before I can serously start to apply for freelance work, and I really want to get started properly.

I am also working at producing stuff for a local con I am doing with Silje. We're going to be selling our cute handmade products and some prints and sutch. Hopefully that will be fun.

I feel like my life is a little bit on hold at the moment, and its not a good feeling. I just want to get out there and start my chareer properly, meet some new people and have fun. Being home in my mums house is always weird thoguh, because I feel like I am back in teenager mode, and I feel like I'm just not supposed to be here anymore. I also spend way too much time alone, because all my friends are working and buizy with their own lives.I like being alone, but too much alone time is not healthy for me.

I miss England, I miss Cornwall.
