I can't draw

I have no faith in my ability to make a solid drawing that someone can take seriously. So instead of finishing the last bit of my final project I'm journaling. I think it'll help me take my mind off the issue of me sucking really badly at art related activities. The best I can do is a simple doodle. I think it has a lot to do with my inability to concentrate on something that takes a long time to do. I get this way with studying for tests or creating projects so it really isn't just art but right now it's driving me crazy. But I also would like to say I don't think I learned more than a few concepts on how to improve my skill. I don't think I got my money worth even if I put in 100% effort. I also really dislike that everyone's last day in London is working on these things. I say 'fuck it' and we all go play in Hyde Park. Maybe I'll do that


I'm in Paris!  Well I was a week ago.


Sitting in front of the Champs Elysees and also in front of the Arc De Triomphe even though it's not in the picture.
Hey mom look it's the fountain from Vegas!  Hahaha. 
First stop in Paris was the Sacre Coeur.  Been 8 years waiting to see this and climb those steps!
A view from our room on D'Alesia.
After climbing the 700 steps to the second tier of the Eiffel Tower.

So I'm not a Harry Potter fan (have not read the books nor have I even watched one of the movies) but I was told to do this.  Maybe after watching the movie/reading the books I'll have more of an appreciation for this non-existing platform at King's Cross.  Elodie enjoyed it, though!
A beautiful walkway with a waterfall we hung out at our first night in Edinburgh.
 I believe that is Princes street up there in Edinburgh.
The Leith Walkway was gorgeous!
There is the waterfall!

Some of the cute homes.
I love all the signs in the UK.
Everyone in Scotland was so kind.  Elodie found a pound on the floor next to our table.  Some guy came over and asked if we found it.  We did but he told us to keep it for luck.  But Elodie wouldn't so he bought us a lotto ticket.  No winnings but it was cute nonetheless.

I'm really excited for Italy tomorrow but I need to go home so badly.  I'm so homesick and exhausted.  I really feel it'll be better after I don't have to worry about homework or public transportation anymore.  Traveling kills me.

miss you all,
britt
