Playing Catch Up.

Okay for starters I HAVE ONE WEEK OF CLASSES LEFT :S

It's really bitter sweet. I've really been loving this year, this semester in general. I've never felt so artisitcally and creatively challenged in my life and i'm loving it. Next semester in the fall i'm going to be going to cloverdale campus doing a completely different program. I've come to make quite a few awesome friends. I'm gonna miss them, and more than anything the art studio. I was contemplating for the last month switching to the Batchelor of Fine Arts. I mean I love it, don't get my wrong but thats not really where my heart is and I know it, and I realised that more than anything tonight. And just because I i'm not taking the BFA or in art classes doesn't mean I can't do my own drawings and paintings. In fact i'm goin to do as much as I can for my portfolio. I never wanna lose this artistic side of me that I love so much with the busy-ness of school and work. So i'm hoding myself to that as much as i possibly can.

Another thought is, its weird that i'm officially going to be done my first year of University. My first year - done. I've been graduated almost 2 years. A lot has happened in two years but i'm not going to get into that, its for another post.

One thing this lovely lady named Jenna said to me the day of Church Graduation that I will never forget is, "the rest of your life will fly by so fast." And I just gotta keep remembering that. I don't wanna miss a thing. And this again is a completely different post.

So now that i'm done most of my catch up for y'all i shall continue with posts of what's been on my mind.

COOLEST PICTURE EVER!

This is the result of my 4 hour long break so far. You know my plan to get all that reading done. Yeah hasn't happened. I haven't opened Architecture to Happiness since Christmas due to the fact I've mostly just done homework on my break, which is grand because I've had less to do at home besides art.

OHH and got to skype with Miss Chanel Howe last night with life group! So thankful Luis was able to get the cam working. The girls have really wanted to talk to her. She got the full update and her and Luis even played them a song..even though Luis wouldn't go on cam because the girls were laughing at the manicure Chanel made him get.

Next two months of my life = crazy

I need to start actually saving again since my savings account seems to be dwindling and the not working for a month left zero dollars in my bank account. So i've been promised 3 eight hours shifts a week. Which is awesome. School 3 days a week. Church all day sunday. A day off? I don't think so, I don't think I even have 4 hours off. Two months isn't that long. Which probably means i'll be blogging less, but its okay thats what my 5 hour break is for. yeahh.

Its okay no stress, this will be my anthem for the semester. As i'm kinda intimidated in my art courses, i know i don't give myself enough credit for my abilities.

FOR I CAN DO EVERYTHING THROUGH CHRIST, WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH

I should have known better

So I was all ready for bed at 9 tonight thinking I had to get up super early for my first class of Semester number two! Good thing i double checked what time my other classes are cause my 8am painting class isn't until Wednesday. I then also realised i'm going to dislike Wednesday. Would you like to hear what I did to myself? This is what my Wednesdays look like

Leave my house 6:20

Painting class 8-noon (with best friend thank goodness)
4 hour break
Marketing 4-7
Get home at 8:30

That is a 14 hour day. Looks like i'm going to have alot of time to finish homework, and more importantly alot of time to read. I'm kinda looking forward to grabbing a coffee and finding a good place to read a book. I'm not normally like that anymore. Used to be when I was in elementary school, more and more thats what i've been wanting to do. Mmm and maybe get alot done in my sketch book. And of course, watch some movies on my laptop haha.

Study..whats that?

I don't think my brain is able to absorb anything more on Micro Economics. I think it has reached it max potential. For the last 2 days I have been making notes, reviewing my notes, reading the textbook like crazy, working out questions, highlighting, re-highlighting and I don't think there's anything left to cover. Its been a hard realization that I could get high b's and A's in highschool without cracking open my book. Now I really have to work. Everyone says University is hard. Its not really, you just have to put in the work. 

I went into my last midterm thinking i new everything and bombed it :S.

But I know for a fact that i wasn't as prepared as I am for this midterm right now.

So i'm sitting in the library looking at my notes then taking a break. Theres a guy at the table beside me sleeping looking at the ceiling with his mouth open. Its entertaining; wanted to take a picture for my picture of the day...but thats not really that nice of me is it.

This morning in Art we had to do nude sketches :S I was kinda strange at first and i'm glad we had a girl, or else that would have been uncomfertable. But after a while of drawing you don't even realise its a naked woman your drawing and like all drawing if we kinda peaceful. I guess it was cause i realised the beauty of the human body. All the different lines, curves, porportions. We drew a few gesture sketches then a 10 minute standing pose. A half hour and a 45 minute sitting pose, then a 45 minute laying down pose. The next two classes we're going to have nude models too..and i'm pretty sure that means we will have guys. Class got out at 1 and now i'm chillen in the lounge on my laptop. I enjoy the atmosphere of University. Independance, knowledge, community, discussion its pretty sweet. This building is packed with people with all kinds of intellegence and talents. I just wanna take everything in their brain and put it in mine. I would go to school and take classes forever if i could. History, Art History, Philosophy, socialagy. I love learning about things. The things that have happened and what people have done facinates me. If my passion wasn't arts and design I would have totally done history. I do wanna take art history but i hear its a HUGE workload.

OH and i registered for next semester. I have 4 courses. English, drawing 2, intro painting, and marketing-small business essentials. I really wanted to take Either business or Art history but I think 5 courses is pushing it especially with English 1100 because there are many papers and with church and work I don't think I would be able to put my all into the courses i'm having some trouble with thee now.

I'm going to go study for my Eco midterm now until 6.

Then I see you, you're walking cross the campus.
