It's been a long time again since my last post.. I guess I will never be very productive with this blog. I'm just too lazy even when people keep telling me to update my blog.
So as you might know Newquay is very popular with surfers and in my house there is three people who surf. So I decided to go and have a little photoshoot when my housemate Sam went surfing. First time I went to the beach with him the weather looked a little dark and soon indeed the rain came pouring down. So sam wasn't the only one who got soaked. I still bravely stayed there and after 10-15 minutes the rain stopped and I could continue taking photos. And after a while I saw the most perfect rainbow I've ever seen! So I guess every (rain)cloud has a silver lining.

The second time we went to Fistral beach instead which is the main surf beach in Newquay. It's quite far away from our house so Sam usually surfs on the beach closer to our place even when it's not as good. Luckily this time the weather was nice and warm, much better than last time! Fistral was also better for photographing because I could climb on to some rocks and get a better fiew of the surfers. But even with the nice weather I didn't manage to stay dry.. Just few minutes after I started shooting I noticed that Sam had left his surf wax on the sand and the first big wave came and took it away. So I had to climb down the rock and run to save that bloody wax.
After that I climbed back to my rock and started shooting again. But after a while the high tide started to surround the rock I was standing on and I (a little too late) noticed that I wouldn't get away from that rock without getting wet.. So I had to jump down (the water was up to my ankles) and run to the bigger rocks behind me. I then tried to dry up my shoes a little bit in the sun but it was hopeless.
And walking back home was awful with those wet boots..
Because Sam wanted to surf some more we went to the beach near to our house and since my boots were wet and uncomfortable I decided to go bare foot.. Not as good idea as you might think.. Roads were almost as cold as ice and after standing on the beach with that freaking cold water my feet started to get numb. And the worst part was walking back home. Probably the most painful experience I've had in a while..
But I got some good pictures so I guess it was worth it!
Now It's almost christmas which means I'm going home in less than two weeks! I can't wait to get my hands on all that delicious food at christmas and of course I'll see my dog for the first time since august! But I am not waiting forward to the cold weather. This place is cold enough for me already. Also the travelling part won't be very nice since I'm going to London on the14th and see my friend so I have to sleep at the Gatwick airport before my flight on the 15th.
But I'm happy to get away from the college work for a while (even though I still need to do some revision). My grades for now are quite average (figures..). So I'm doing well enough. There is some really annoying work we have to do like bird watching and mock job interviews. Usually most of my work is done the day before the hand in date. Not last minute at all. I just enjoy chilling and doing nothing way too much. At least I joined the gym and usually go there 5-6 times a week (or at least I'm trying to). My fitness has gone crashing down since I left London and I'm sturggling with the same exercises I did quite easily before. And I've been in a lot of pain.. My housemate Jess is trying to be my personal trainer which gives me more motivation but she's highly overestimating me and my strength.. She's one of the healthiest persons I've met, so I'm trying to eat healthy as well but it's not very easy when after every meal you still feel hungry..
I'll probably need two seats from the airplane when I come back from home and then I will suffer at the gym more than I do already.
This time I'm not even saying I'll try to post faster because it probably won't happen..
