20,000 Leagues Under the Sea...

Current Status: Sleepy, but optimistic.

-I just got back from Club Tech, where I spent the better part of the night in the graphics lab. It's raining in Philly. I walked home in it, but I didn't really mind all that much. Today I have three classes, have to go grocery shopping for smoothie ingredients, and build an entire kitchen out of cardboard by Wednesday. Should be fun. Wish me luck! Now for oatmeal!!!

Shady Business...

Sometimes you just really really really need to smile...

Here's to hoping you have a great day and find something to laugh about!

Feed the Birds-Tuppence a Bag!

Current Status: Exhausted! (and a little under the weather...)

-Currently blogging from one of the drawing studios. It's wayyyy past m bedtime. And while you may be surprised to hear me say such a thing... it's college--who has a bedtime?! I have one constant in my life where bedtimes reign supreme--when I am not exactly feeling 100% and sadly my dear readers, this is one of those days. Strike that... weeks.  

That's why I haven't been posting as often, but I'm trying desperately to get better! Have no fear I have become a professional when it comes to chugging OJ and have transitioned quite easily into my "sleeping sitting up so my nosed doesn't run or clog or stop working all together" position. Quite an accomplishment come to think of it! 

In the meantime... here is my furthest progress on my drawing final (due in 4 days!?!!!) I finally buckled down and started my actual self... any thoughts?!

Side Note: I'm getting ready to pack up and head home during my favorite time on campus!!!

Chim Chim Cheree...

Current Status: Chimney Sweep.  

-Stayed up all night writing my art history. 

Aka: pulled an all nighter procrastinating, watching an assortment of youtube videos, and eventually around 5 am buckling down and comparing Caravaggio to Durer.

All in all my paper was ok... actually I think it was pretty good. I tied in David Choe and I kind of surprised myself with how persuasive I managed to make the argument out to be.  

Finished paper at 7 am. Closed my eyes... mistake. 

Woke up at 9 am. Class started at 8:40. Got to Art History at 9:15... class ends at 9:30. 

Turned in paper... awkward.  

2D class from 1-6. Dragged... unusually long today. 

We are making stencils though, so that's exciting.  Showed Allison my drawing final. 

Went to a meeting about a student run art show opening on my birthday. Saw Kiersten there. Worked on drawing final for two and a half hours.  

Walked home in the rain. I love the rain. 

I don't love people starring at me because I have charcoal/pastels on my face. 

Missed dinner... mistake #2. Bed... I'm beat.

The black in the wings on the Ostrich and Cassowaries is such a pain to do. And gets everything messy... 

And on the 7th day... he rested

Current Status: Beat. 

Info: I honestly am starting to believe I actually have some form of undiagnosed condition.  It is pretty bad when my favorite extra curricular at school involves me, a pillow, and a blanket.  Actually.... half the time I don't even have/need a pillow or blanket.  

Favorite Places to Hibernate: 

1st place- Caitlin's room... because she and Brianne are in there and they are good people. And the hustle and bustle reminds me of home.  Plus I know they wouldn't do anything to me me except take creepy stalker pictures (see right).  

2nd place- My dorm room. When my roommate and his girlfriend don't sleep in the room.  This way I can listen to the sounds outside, like the commotion of Broad Street or the rain... or I can feel free to play my music and not feel rude and self conscious.  That and his girlfriend tends to watch me... it's actually pretty creepy.  Borderline disturbing...

Side note: I'm excited for my own room next year... privacy is so underrated. 

Somewhere over the...

This little surprise happened during my drawing class on Friday. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to the window like 5 year olds in complete awe...
Then something even more magical occurred!  A DOUBLE RAINBOW! We all made wishes...
(I didn't have a big enough view to get the complete thing, but it was actually pretty sweet. I mean come on now, how many times do you see a rainbow in the city?!)

Current Status: Brimming with excitement and anticipation... ZOO tomorrow!

Cloudy with a chance of...

Current status: SOGGY.

I went into the studio around 9:30 last night. The sky was slightly overcast and the temperature was a little brisk over Temple University.  When I emerged 9 hours later it was quite a different story...  I walked all the way home in the rain. A steady drizzle that actually felt really good. 

Fun Fact: I love the rain. A lot. I especially love walking in the rain... have ever since I was little.
