Well I thought I would come to college today to brave boredom and endure the time till I finish this year... but being in Art and Graphics today I felt freshly inspired to base my hefty project for next year on things related to poi, its different and I'm well chuffed my teacher gave me the thumbs up.
I'll be researching Maori things, carving staff... mwuh ha ha ha ha! erm and being able to skip lessons to spin poi... PERFECT! I dont wanna leave college now! lol
