the group - day 1

halloween decor

isn't our house so cute for halloween?

we have a little scare crow guy too...but we're gonna put him up later.

my foot

I sprained my ankle.

I've tried to think of a million things to blame it on:  school, work, weather, etc. - but no such luck. 

the pain is no bueno.

blah.

today was bipolar.

good morning- went to class, no problems, happy times... actually had a (small) break to get some lunch...went to my afternoon class, it was alright - drew a lot of skeletons...went to work for about an hour and a 1/2..it was good - went by fast and was chill.

then the day gets even lovelier.

I went home after work and called my mom for a few - and while talking to her I remembered, I had a good amount of homework to do tonight. I wrote everything down that I needed to do:

Read for Bible class- (8am)

Cut mat board- and mat print (due-10am)

Study for Graphic Design 2 exam (12pm)

Read and post questions online for Graphic Design History (1pm)

Read for Art History/ workbook (2pm)

**not homework- work on logo design for internship (3pm)

So I had to go up to the school anyways to bring Lyn some shoes...the mat cutting room was open, I had matboard, so I figured I would do it today instead of before classes tomorrow. First cut - wrong size-way too small. Second cut - wrong proportions -also too small. Third cut -correct size, and no more matboard left. But that was ok because it was the right size- or so I thought. I marked out where the window of the mat needed to go, and then began to cut with the bevel razor. No, I did not have a new razor to put in the mat cutter, and yes I used the blade that was in there. My bad. I didn't even notice when I cut the first part of the window...but as I continued the edges only got worse and worse - along with my anger and frustration. So when the window is all cut out, the edges look like a mouse chewed them for me. How nice. So then I had a fit which included screaming, ripping matboard, and my face turning red. I then gave up. I went home - did the rest of the homework that I could do, and now i am going to bed in my room- that i need to tidy up - it is messy - but i can't force myself to do anything else today.

goodnight.

word.

lyn says i need to update.

elena said i should start blogging again.

maybe they're right.

im back to school. its ok so far. we'll see how this semester goes. big class load- plus an internship - yay. 

anyways. 

Art Show

well- the art show is finally here. Everyone went and framed what they thought should be in the art show- then everyone's stuff was voted on. I had three pieces make it in to the show. My self portrait collage, my eraser portrait, and my night scene. I felt pretty good about all of those. So im happy they made it. Anyways - I took some pictures at the show, but i'll have to go back and take some more with the flash off. Some of them were really glare-y. But here are the ones that turned out.
