First of all, I decided that I won't post any of my art-related news on this blog anymore. For sketches and finished paintings and stuff, go to my tumblr (http://julia-aurora.tumblr.com), or for finished paintings only, deviantart (http://julia-aurora.deviantart.com).
I have my first university entrance exam tomorrow, and I'm very nervous since I haven't really studied for it at all, heh. It's for French, which required that you read a novel (which I have only started on...) but it should also contain a part where they test grammar and vocabulary, which I guess I should be able to score a few points on. Wednesday is Economy, which I definitely will not pass, since I've read about 70 pages of the 480-page book. Thursday is for information systems, which is the one I'm actually looking forward to, since it's my first choice and the one I really hope to get in to.
Well, wish me luck :D
Random note: I baked a mudcake today. Been ages since I baked any cakes. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow as a "reward" for taking the entrance exam, haha.

New layout
I decided to finally join tumblr! Here's my profile in case anyone's interested: http://julia-aurora.tumblr.com/
Not sure whether I'll keep this layout around, but I think I do prefer a colorful one compared to the blue-and-yellow-grayish thing I had before.
Seems I'm getting the hang of painting again! Here's another work that I finished yesterday:
Something a little different from my usual paintings, but I kind of like how it turned out.
Now off to brainstorm for further paintings :D!

Artblock is GONE!
Finally managed to do a full painting :D! This one took around 10 hours, and I used a photo of myself as reference to get the shading right.
I'm thinking about changing up the layout of this blog. Shall see when I feel like starting to work on that.
Yesterday mom and I were experimenting on making smörgåstårta-cakes (literal translation would be sandwich cake) for my graduation party. Here's a photo of them:
Two of them had salmon filling and two had ham. Yum!
I really can't believe that I'm actually graduating in just two weeks! Also, on Wednesday I found out my final grades for the final exams, and I was happy to discover that my points had been raised in two of them. I did not end up with stellar grades, but I'm still very happy with what I got :)

Friends
Saw my friends on Wednesday for the first time in ages! Gonna go out with them again tonight, which should be fun since I haven't been to any night clubs in ages.
Had the urge to doodle stuff with vibrant colors, so here are a few very quick, low-quality sketches :D
There will be a short Guild Wars 2 beta on Monday (7 hours - not an actual beta but a stress test to see how much the servers can handle) from 9 pm to 4 am :D It's really a shame that I have work on Tuesday, but I'm still planning to stay up all the way until 4 o'clock.

Ready for graduation
Dress, check. Shoes, check. Jacket, check. Student cap, check.
Yeeah, I'm ready for graduation now ;)!
Normally I'm not a big fan of shopping shoes, but today I just found the nicest pair of shoes ever that I just had to buy for my graduation :D. They're a creamy white, so at first I was afraid I might not find a jacket to match it, but thankfully I found one that was exactly the same color! Heh, the extremely girly-me wants graduation to come already so that I can wear all those pretty clothes :)
Oh, and yesterday I sold my first book in the entire time I've been working in the bookshop. Feels like such an achievement!
Otherwise, there's not much to tell. I've pretty much just been playing Guild Wars and going to the gym day after day.

It's over :(
This weekend was absolutely fantastic! I really can't wait until the next beta weekend :D
I'm just a bit worried because my computer made the game reeeally slow, which did take away some of the fun, so I cross my fingers that the finished game won't be as sluggish.
I have a lot of sleep to catch up on this night :P Oh, except I'll be going to a park to celebrate the 1st of May with my friends, so the sleep-catching will have to wait until later.
