Heyup! I haven't updated my journal in yeeaaars man!

Since... December, (crikey) I've had a bit of a rollercoaster of GCSEs, deciding whether to leave school and getting work. For ages I was determined to stay on at my school but then I decided it'd be much better for my health (and the bank balance) if I took a year out and worked on a photography portfolio and get a PROPER job.

I have been fortunate enough to get a job with my sister at the nearby music shop, Sheehan's of Leicester, which has made me so much more aware of the real world. Going to a private school really does shelter you from all the different kinds of people you meet in everyday life. Some are a bit crazy, I grant you, but at least MOST of them aren't snobs.

Anyway after sorting my life out the past few months, I went for a photoshoot in Leicester with some friends, got back, edited some, woke up the next morning and BOOM.

Computer was dead.

ARGH.

I went to the Genius Bar in the Apple store to sort it out as all the other repair places I knew of had closed. Didn't manage to solve the problem completely, but in the end, it was the HD that bust.

On the plus side, 500gb of space! BOOYEAH.

On the bad side... lost a month's worth of photos which weren't backed up on my external

SO. I've managed to save a few pics from the Leicester shoot that I uploaded to flickr before my mac died, but they're really poor quality, so bear that in mind.

Any comments are REALLY appreciated, especially as I'm taking my photography more seriously now. Eek.

Love to all! Miri Xxox

Oh and on another note...

I BOOKED A TICKET TO SEE MUSE ON 4TH NOVEMBER!! EEEEE! SO FLIPPING EXCITED.
But the ticket hasn't arrived yet. CRAP! So worried right now...
