Being a child again

I forgot how fearless kids are, for my friends 21st we went to a kids play park/ jungle gym and were allowed alcohol and then set games to play, there was an assault course, lazer quest and many more! It started at 9.30pm and went on until 7am! I am def feeling very bruised and very tired but very happy I faced my fear and went down the huge slide pictured below! big smiles :)

Memories



I came across this photo by accident today and its one of my happiest memories from MCAD, I was feeling sad today about missing people but when I saw this I realise I can never be sad with all the wonderful memories I have to keep forever :)

Its Getting There

I have now designed my website hopefully it will be up soon :)

My Website

Ok so im def a bit too excited at the moment but I have been trying to set up a website and i am awful with computers yet if you go to www.milliescarlettdavies.com there is a page saying my website is coming soon and ok its in Helvetica and boring but I have done something and im quite proud and am working in Dreamweaver and will hopefully soon have a full working website, BIG SMILES :D

I LOVE THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Im not sure whether i should be embarrassed about this or not, but i went to the natural history museum in London on Tuesday and there was an exhibition on about Charles Darwin one of the greatest men on earth and i loved it, it was soo interesting and the exhibition design was really lovely! Then to top it all off i saw some amazing stuffed animals, a beautiful preserved fish and some huge awesome dinosaurs i feel so excited maybe a bit too much hehe but it was a great day so thanks Claire :)

Missing

Iv been so happy for many months now and a lot of it is thanks to MCAD and the amazing experience i had, Im now back in brighton currently working on 4 projects with three more being given to us very soon so im becoming very very busy but I love it. I was scared of life back here in Brighton as i thought nothing could compare to MCAD but what iv learnt is things are just different and different doesnt have to mean better or worse its simply different, and life here in brighton is pretty good if i do say so myself. Im living in a beautiful house with lovely people, im a better designer who can now tackle everything that will get thrown at me, and as a person im stronger and happier then iv ever been. I started back at my job and it was so lovely i feel very independent and free. I am even planning a trip around Europe this summer! I miss all my friends from MCAD terribly however whenever i look back all i can do is smile and feel lucky enough to have made such true friends that i do miss them, I have friends across the world who although i may not get to see often will never go away and that is really special.
I will end it with a smile :D







here is my room and my mess created while trying to work, i hope you all like me new speedo back pack - thanks dad :)

Monocle

This is a really beautiful magazine which was shown to me by Colin (thank you) in minneapolis and now iv come home iv finally found it and I love it. It is so beautifully designed and laid out, especially the typography you should give it a look :)

SUPER WONDERFULLY COOL

As its a new year it seems to be a tradition to throw out all your old unwanted stuff so while in the loft my dad and i came across these really old next directories (clothing company uk) which were designed by Why Not Associates from the late 80s and early 90s they are just so cool and i just wish the catalogues were as good as this now!
































and the outfits are simply something else :D

Happy Christmas


(I just really wanted to make a vector robin so i made a card hehe)

To everyone I know and love Im wishing you all a very happy christmas
:) x

Hometime



i am now back at home sitting in my bedroom which like everything is very much still the same, its a strange feeling returning home but like with every situation you have to make it a good one so im smiling and not thinking its sad how i have had to leave so many precious people behind and instead thinking how lucky i was to meet them all :)
i kind of feel like a new person its really great, im much more confident and everyone i met has given me something new, im definately a better person for this experience thanks to everyone i have met.
of course there were tears and there may still be more but again the tears are really tears of happiness and will remind me of the amazing memories i have stored in my head.
not many people believed i would be able to complete such an adventure or even be able to begin it so i feel so proud sitting here now at the other end, i have learnt so much about myself and have proved to myself i can do anything if i really want to.
Iv had to deal with all the stuff i left behind too which isnt always a happy occasion but i guess its just one of those things and i know now im strong enough to smile and get through it.
At times iv felt a bit sad since iv been back as its weird adjusting as maybe part of me feels i will be back in america again soon but i know i will make the most of everything here a home and always do it with a smile :)
Lastly i want to say that everything has been well worth i had no expectations when i left for mcad and it meant i was open to everything, i feel i never held back and gave it my all as if i wasnt leaving which made the experience so real and so perfect, i will remember it all and whenever i think of everyone i will smile my smile, im a better person now and i will always stay true to myself and i look forward to all the future adventures.
Thank you to everyone, you know who you all are, i miss you all very much and i will make sure i see you again :)
