I finished classes yesterday and have officially started my summer break. Won't find out my GPA or grades until next week, so fingers crossed. I do have a summer course that I have to take but it only lasts three weeks. Before I even start drawing/practicing I need to clean my room, rearrange my room, and I got to get my entrance to education requirements done and turned in. I have been in the drawing mood lately and my first step will be sketching from stock photos for anatomy and shading practice. I was hoping to take an art class next semester but couldn't get in for some reason, will try getting in for next spring. Just an update.

I started my spring break on Monday and go back next Monday. School has took a lot out of me that I feel like doing nothing in the morning and when my sister and parents come home I want to spend my time with them (I gain my sanity back when they come home). It sucks that my schedule is off from my family and friends, public school break is in April and my friend who goes to a diff. college had hers last week. I have a month and a half left of school and then I begin my summer, little worried about my college essay and have to start it soon though. I have started plot and character development for one of my stories and hope to develop it in the summer, drawing has been a no go so far but DA has many artists that inspire me to start practicing. Just a little update, may not see another one until summer starts. This week is just my time to relax and unwind until exams.

As always I fail myself when it comes to drawing. My Christmas break came and went, I am starting spring semester this upcoming Monday.
----------------------------------------
Begin angry/stressed complaint:
I have already been spazzing out over a class, one I want to re-take, and am currently trying to fix the problem. I registered for a class I took last semester but got an e-mail today that I got removed from the class. Found out that I did not do well enough on my placement test to be in the class in the first place but somehow got in, don't ask me how that happened, but must now re-take the placement test to see if I am elligible to get into the class. Was really angry when I found this out three days before classes.
---------------------------------------
I am currently trying to write a totally new story and have thrown all other story ideas to the side. I got no drawing done and am sad about that but realized I need to study on anatomy so I am going to focus mainly on sketches and traditional media. This semester is going to be busy for me because I have to start writing my acceptance essay for the College of Education. Yes, I am not accepted into my major until I have completed a list of things, including an essay. It is pretty silly since you start taking Education classes your first semester, more advanced classes are restricted. Uggh! I am already stressing out.

So I started school August 26. I got nothing done over the summer because I did not want to do anything at all. I could blame it on baby-sitting but I don't like making excuses. Throwing all previous goals aside, my new goal is trying to get at least 30 min. of drawing/sketching over the weekend. So far I have failed, I tried to start 2 weeks ago, been busy doing other things. I made a cake two weeks ago and three weeks ago helped my mom with another cake. I will try to post the cake picture by christmas time. So no promises but I will try to get some drawing done to post, but most likely won't have free time until christmas break. School is already stressing my out and it has only been three weeks, I need a refresh button for my brain-Trig is killing me right now.

Sorry guys, the update will not come today. There are two reasons (which really aren't good excuses): 1) I seem to be tablet-intimidated, I get ready to draw and when I am I look at the picture and go "Ugh! It's awful," and then I delete the file and start over. For this I decided to draw on a piece of paper and scan into photoshop. I did that and was in the process of inking the lineart when reason # 2 rolls on in. 2) My mom blew a fuse just now and started biting everyones head off. She said I was on the computer too much just like my dad. Well for the past two weeks I have been trying to get a character sheet down but couldn't because of my intimidation and doing something else with the family, since it is my vacation. So tomorrow and when I start back work I will get character sheets done. NO promises though since the way things are going. Well sorry for getting anyone's hopes up, but it just didn't go so well these past two weeks. Sorry again, especially for reading this waste of journal space.
