Though our interaction was very brief she was very pleasant and I immediately liked her. She and nurdlie had been friends for a long time prior and had worked on the assignment last year. I w

This year i am in the a level media class and am very excited to see what happens this year.     My favorite art form is easily animation, and I have been watching animated shows and movies for as long as I can remember.

Some of my favorite songs I first heard in the film show OST's. They can cre
