I need a serious stress reliever! I've got so much work to do and so very little time to do it! Spec is in two weeks and I still have tons of projects to do and I know that it is all my fault that I'm stressed because I slacked off all semester and didn't do anything but oh god.

Let's just say, it's going to be a tough two weeks.

I've had one of Holst's the Planets stuck in my head the last few days and I cannot figure out which one it is. I know for certain it is not Mars though. At least, I think. These pieces are all 7 to 10 minutes long and it's just a couple of measures that have lodged itself in my brainz.

Anyway, my review is coming up here pretty soon and I'm not going to lie, I'm freaking out. I've got tons of things to redo and very little time to get it done. And instead of just diving into it, I keep putting it off because of all the other things I have to do before the end of the semester. I'm stressing out. Everyone really is stressing out so that makes it even more stressful and we're all geeking.

Missed yesterdays' nano. Yeah, I'll get on that soon. (Another reason to procrastinate).


ETA:
the song was definitely Jupiter. I should have known.

I HATE SCRATCH BOARD. I loathe it. I cannot stand to do another piece on this unforgiving material. Unfortunately, I have three to do this weekend. It's what I get for putting it off when I had plenty of time to work on it this week.

In other news, I am at home for the weekend and I'm terribly happy to sit around and do nothing (again) except for this freaking project. It's my dad's birthday so I'm taking him out to lunch tomorrow to Zaxby's as it is our tradition. It should be nice.

Two things: I'm dropping Psychology because I am straight up lazy, but also because the class is kicking my ass and I don't want my GPA to suffer because I can't figure out what's going on. I'll retake it in the spring!

Number 2: My proposal for the public arts project was rejected! So instead, I'm now going to be working on a mural in Charlotte (with a team of professional artists and some other Winthropites) for the public arts project, which means I won't be doing post cards anymore. Fear not, however, because anyone I promised postcards, I'm going to send a painting or something wicked cool via mail. I just have to, you know, find some time to work on it (perhaps in the time that I would have spent in Psychology...). SORRY DUDEZ.

That's pretty much it.

Fall break was excellent.

I'm going to see an infectious diseases doctor when I go home next week. Hopefully this will lead to the end of my constant infections. It'll be good to know what's what.

I'm almost completely done with a sketchbook. I think being a part of SoIll (and actually have drawing classes this semester lolwut?) has really motivated me to draw a lot more.

Speaking of sketchbooks and SoIll and general awesomeness, the show was tonight. It was really cool, a good turn out and everything was awesome.

ETA: Postcards are almost done for those of you I promised them to. I haven't had a chance to finish up the last two and mail them out, but I should get that done this weekend.

TO DO:

SLEEP.
Finish gestures.
Make photocopies for sketch book show.
Scan drawings.
Buy acrylics/gouache?
Make postcards.
Buy stamps.
Mail postcards.
Movie with Kat (& Tiff & Katie?)

Best to-do list ever.

I'm home for the weekend which is nice because school has been driving me bonkers and I need a quick little break or something. While I'm home I've got to do tons of work but it seems less frightening when I'm home to do it. If you're interested I've got to: cut and mount the first half of my typeface, draw four hand gestures and make my gouache chips for the colors I'll be using, study for my art history test, and study for my psych test. It doesn't seem like much, but it'll probably take me all weekend. Also, tonight I'm going to a football game (wh00t high school I didn't go to!) and tomorrow is my cousin's tenth birthday! Awesome.

This is random and probably unrelated to the post, but as I was driving home, I realized that while my hometown is a beautiful little country town and I love to visit it, I don't want to live here anymore. It's a weird realization, I guess.

I really wish there was a ‘trade places with an art student’ program on campus. I think it would be really enlightening for all the kids who think we’ve got it easy. I want them to see how hard our work is before they go around saying they could do this with their eyes closed. Seriously.

I don’t think it would be easy to be an accounting major (and it’s not because I’m brainless, asshat), so please don’t think you’d survive one day in my shoes.

It's not all bad.

Mostly for Lia/Suzie to see, but whatevs. :D

I know, I know. Two posts in one day? Miraculous.

I just wanted to say: I HATE MY PSYCH TEACHER. Good lord. It's impossible to learn anything in that class. I've read ahead, taken notes before going to class and the whole shebang (responsibility, again!) and I get to class and I have no idea what this dude is talking about. It's not that I don't understand his accent anymore (I'm used to it by now), it's that he never says anything relevant to what we're doing. It's ridiculous. He asks questions that no one can even fathom how to answer, gets off subject and then never answers them. The entire class is confused as hell right now and we have no idea what to do about it.

It's driving me nuts. Here's to hoping that none of the mumbojumbo he talks about in class will be on the test. I just need a website or something that will help me understand what the hell is going on.

In other news, two people on my hall could have H1N1 which sucks major ass considering, you know, communal showers. BB, I'd suggest you spray down the shower and toilets with lysol before you get in them since she's on your end. xD

On a lighter note that will keep me from sounding like I've done a complete 180 since the last time I posted (only a few hours ago), I am in love with this band Bombadil. They're so fun. Go enjoy them as all people should.

I did a reference search on deviantart for windows and every single one was a naked woman. Not even the classy kind.

Thank you for being full of idiots, interwebs.

I need to stop procrastinating (already). This is a reminder to myself to get my flipping work done. :D

School's alright. I already feel like I've got too much on my plate, but we'll see once classes really get going.


On a sort of related note, anyone know where I can find a relatively cheap flatbed scanner?

ETA:

Tom gave us so much homework to do for the next class. Who does that?

I'm like borderline stalking the bookstore clerk because I have nothing to do with my life. He knows my name now. He knows what kind of books I like. He has suggestions for me whenever I go in. We have intense conversations about James Joyce. I think I may love him. xDD

Honestly, this is all I've got to say about the state of my life. T-minus 11 days until move in day.

BB you're still going back right?
