Hey guys, so the otherday it SNOWED. Just when i thought it was finished, we had one last (hopefully) snow storm. However, the ground was too hot, so the snow didn't really build up.

Okay, so i leave for Italy on SATURDAY.
so posts will start to be more frequent.

Artclass today, we drew a portrait, i hadn't really drawn this style before, but i think i quite like it, what do you think?

I dont know who it is of, probably nobody.

Last of Winter - Views.

here are the last of the winter views. All the snow is falling off the mountains now.

.. which also means, if the snow is going, so is the skiing. which is sad because i really enjoyed skiing.



.. how sad.
Well, i have written loads of postcards. and i will go to the post office this friday. i won't promise, but i will try!

Arabic Night

Last night we had an Arabic Food night, we all dressed up in long gowns, and covered our faces and hair in scarves, well kind of. The food was amazing, especially the chicken and rice, i don't know if it is in our cooking books but i will have to have a look! We all sat around on the ground, drank coffee in tea form, so it didn't actually taste like coffee, so i could drink it, and the also had dates, which actually tasted okay.
I tried everything, and everything was seriously so amazing. If you ever get the chance to try Arabic food i would recommend it to you highly.

here are some photos of the events:

^^ dressed up in arabic, we didn't have to just have our eyes showing, i just wanted to see how it looked.

^^ Natasha (blue), Olympia and I eating with our hands.


^^ some of the food, i was going to take photos of all the foods, but they where practically half eaten before i got to it. Here is some vegtable patties? and some salad. Also some dip for the bread.

It was such an experience, and i love tasting new foods, There where saudi girls there, because they go to the school, they taught us dancing, how to eat and a bit about their culture.

I cant wait to go to Egypt, which is classed as Middle East area.

Floral Art.

^ Every Thursday, we have floral art. Last Thursday however, we had tulips to work with. We could either choose something to make from a magazine to go with or create something from our imagination.
I choose to create something from my mind, and here is the result, back and front.

^^ the front.



^^the back.

they are however, both identical from the back and front pretty much.

Blizzard.

around tuesday or wednesday it was quite a nice day, it was sunny, still cold, but blue sky and sunny. How can that all turn around to, well, pretty much a blizzard?
it was FREEZING on friday, and there was so much snow that the taxi's would not come up to surval, so i had to walk down in the snow, on the slippery path to the main road.
here is the photo from the IVP part; which i will put photos up from next week i have decided.

^^ the view from IVP, normally you can see Montreux.

much love.
