Licking the lid of my yogurt

A Little Productivity

So I realized that I’ve been so into my new pinterest thing that I have not been blogging. To make up for lost time I’ll update you on what you’ve missed.
Finals went well, on the day of my last one (Art History) Trevor and Corey and I went to the Rangers game. Due to lightning we got to move to any seats that we wanted! We got super close, it was awesome only paying $10 and getting to sit in $75 seats. When lightning comes you can guess what came next- rain, and LOTS of it.

The rain was crazy and let me tell you, the clouds outside... were menecing.

The game was called of in the middle of the 4th. Even so, we had a great time. We ate at Bone Daddy’s afterwords and mmm I love that pulled pork with mac cheese. YUM! After words we went bowling and Mike came too.
I did well on my grades: 2 A’s and 3 B’s. I’m glad it’s done so I have a bit of a break before summer 1 startes up in June.
I was productive in cleaning and organizing my room this week. I used my container store gift card from Trevor’s mom to get a few things I needed.

I got a bin for my bags so now they aren't just stcked up on top of my art stuff.

I got this cute magnetic strip to hold more photos!

After organizing and cleaning I also updated some things in my room. Like my corkboard and my picture line.

Missing Florida, I put up some of my favorite pics from the vacations in the years past. And I also added in some new things as well. Like Trevor and I with our ice cream and invitations for the weddings coming up.

Before, this large poster frame held a black and white poster I bought when I moved into Kerr. Now, it holds a new poster I painted on brown paper that I got for free. And I also updated some of the pictures below

So there is a little tid bit into my first week of summer. More to come.

Tangled Elephants

Haha Gotcha didn’t I?
Today Trevor said he wanted to stop by because he had something to give me… He surprised me with the Dvd “Tangled” and I was so excited! I told him the moment I saw a sign that it was coming out that I was going to ask for it for my birthday. “Why would you have to wait all the way till your birthday?” he asked. “Well I’m not just going to buy it. lol” Anyway, I was very happy that he came in the pouring rain just to bring it to me at my apartment. That was so sweet and thoughtful of him.

Later on tonight, the girls and I went to the movies and saw “Water for Elephants” for some roommate bonding time. I finished the book just before it came out and I was pleased with the movie. Of course it wasn’t as good as the book because they left some parts out, but still it was good. I knew when I saw the preview I was going to love the cimematography, art direction, costume design and the animals, but it was a bit graphic for my taste. I didn’t really enjoy seeing the violent parts, as I never do, because then I have those images in my head. So I might just fall asleep tonight watching Tangled.

Nocturnal Drawing Project: 99

I finished my Nocturnal Drawing Project last night around midnight. Not bad, I didn’t freak out about it, I just finished it. Show up this morning and no one said anything about my drawing, but I didn’t think it was the worst in the group. Not everyone’s work was talked about and there wasn’t much to say about mine anyway. With that said, I didn’t know was to think about the grade I was getting. 99 to my surprise. I could not beleive it. I wanted to go to my teacher’s office and make sure that it wasn’t a mistake or something… Anyway, I am happy. Happy also that our final portfolio only has to include 6 sustained drawings and this one may be one of them. So my final portfolio is only two weeks away and for the first time, I’m a little bit excited about it.

There is no way in the world that cheese which exits a spray can be be at all natural… but somehow, I don’t mind. I’ll admit, I’m a a little bit amused.

I started to look on google for a good picture to go with this post, but I didn’t find and that were satisfactory. Maybe I should make my own spray cheese creations and document them. haha. My photo TA is weird, I bet he’d like the idea.
