There's no place like London...
Hello!If you ever wondered, why there haven't been anything new from me for a longer time, the answer is simple: I'm abroad to study! I finally got accepted to university to study my dreamt-of major, Japanese, and the uni is one of the best worldwide while it comes to teaching oriental languages and cultures!
I feel so lucky! Every year there are many candidates from many different countries, but only one person per 14 gets the admission letter! And one of these lucky people is me!!!
After so many years, years, when I tried to be accepted to any Japanese course-providing Polish university, I was told I wasn't good enough, not motivated enough, not smart enogh. Everyone during the recrutation procedure kept telling me that, and when you hear such things too much, you start to believe in it...
Now, in London, UK, I feel like I'm in the best place in the best time of my life. Now I feel so lucky that I hadn't been given a chance to study Japanese in Poland, because I would have never come to study to such place like London, never had the opportunity to study in one of the best oriental schools in the world, School of Oriental and African Studies, never had the possibility to meet so many different people from almost every part of the world, and never could come to Japan for the entire year as a part of my course... Now I thank God that I was rejected so many times, because I learned how to deal with defeat and can have a real joy from studying...
The only thing I'm worried about at the moment is whether I'll manage financially... Living in London is quite expensive, even without eating- and going out very often... But I believe that if you really want to do something, you will always find some money or a possible source of it. The point is to do what you really want... And I do want to finish these studies, and moreover, I really want to go to master studies as well... Have no idea how I'll manage, but somehow I will!!!
SO forgive the lack of creations right the moment, but I really have so much to learn... And the programme goes like crazy, it's been just 2 weeks but my head feels like burning already...
So happy simming, everyone, and see you probably when Sims 3 are out! I can deffiniately promise that I'll be (or at least I'll b e trying... ^_^) creating for Sims 3 as well. I even know what will be of my main interest: SHOES!!! Isn't it fabulous that in Sims 3 there will be a separate shoes compartment with so many wonderful meshes that simply wait for my recolouring and retexturing!
See you, and have a wonderful day!!!
Take care,
Hannah

Latest updates
I haven't been building as many lots lately as I usually do because we had problems with a massive power outage that wrecked my computer. It's fixed now but I am going to be having surgery on my shoulder on October 15 so I imagine that will keep me out of the game for a bit as well. Hopefully I will be back up to speed soon and again cranking out lots for everyone to move their Sim families into.True Blood faces and outfit
I have become addicted to the new HBO show True Blood, based on the Southern Vampire novels by Charlaine Harris. As with my other tv addictions, I felt the need to have some of the cast in my Sims game. I have just uploaded faces for Bill and Sookie, plus a skin of Sookie's waitress uniform from Merlotte's Bar & Grill. If there are other True Blood characters you would like to see made into Sims, please feel free to comment here or send me a PM.Bill Compton

Hmm...
Change of plans maybe? I'm thinking, with the new shelving, I might try making full Room Sets as I have never done that before? I've already made a matching desk for the first shelving units and am tinkering with some CD clutter to put on them.
So for a study I will need to make a chair, bookcase, wall art, and lighting for sure. Then if this goes well maybe I'll do the same for the other two shelving units I had planned, only for dining and living rooms.
A new build contest!
I absloultley love the building contests and challenges on the TSR build forum and enter every one of them. Well I decided to create my own and its called Traveling Sally. Basically, you have to pick a country from a map I provided and build the house accordingly. We all would love some new faces to come and join. There is no time limit for this challenge and you could upload your lot afterwards if you wanted. You can check it out here:http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?p=3757085&posted=1#post3757085.
My TC 108 has been released and I am currently working on TC109. The textures are very winter like so I am going for a cosy corner, so stay tuned for that one...
