First Weekend

Hi Mom.

So for my first Saturday post classes, I slept for a good 11 hours, woke up, took a shower, played with styling my new hair and got to doing homework. For Drawing 1 we are learning about the dreaded ellipses. And to do so we had to find 5 cylinder-like things in our room and draw them from four different perspectives. So that's been hard.
Midway took a break for "brunch". Which I call BS because school's 'brunch' doesn't start until 11:30. That's lunch. Fricken own it Ringling. But they do play cartoons on Saturdays, which is awesome. 

After that I started on my Figure Drawing Homework in which I had to find a "master" drawing (so naturally I chose a DaVinci work) and attempt to render it as close as possible. This one is called, "Study of an Old Man" and granted my old man is quite muscular but what are you going to do. 

This evening my roomies and I decided to actually leave our dorm room - none of us have been very adventurous so far - and go to the movies. We say The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which was REALLY funny. I don't know if you'd like it Mom, but I think it would definitely make you laugh. I really liked it. Though I can't watch any movie without it making me miss my Jason (I know, puke). My only escape is reality TV which he absolutely loathes. Again, great movie.

Now for some ice cream and America's Next Top Model (Hulu has every season).

Putting Off Homework

Hi Mom. I'm really not putting off homework, considering I have all weekend to do it - and I WILL start tonight, but I would rather be writing this post than doing it so...here I am. Today started 'early' (7:15) today with Figure Drawing which was a work out. The entire class we did sets of 10 two minute poses, a bunch of three minute poses and then what seemed like forever of 30 second poses. I was exhausted after, but I loved it. Spent lunch in the cafe in the Academic Center, and then read my book until my first Storytelling class, which I think will be kind of awesome. There will be lots of writing involved, but it's the best kind of writing: creative/fiction. The fact that I will not be writing about grammar and research essays, like I would have had I not dropped Writer's Studio, makes me very happy. My teacher is an interesting character for sure. He's relatively normal, as art teachers go, and he makes lots and lots of movie references, it's re

Mailing Mishaps

Image
Hi Mom. Had some mailing issues recently. Nothing too terrible that digging a little further couldn't solve. A few weeks ago I used the amazon gift cards I received to buy a few things. 2/4 had arrived while 3/4 should have. I got my small portfolio to hold some class work, and my new Mickey lanyard. My mandala tapestry should have gotten here on Monday (which my tracking thing said it DID ITS SOMEWHERE) but when I asked the mailing office if they had it they looked it up and said they didn't. Um okay? Even though it is tracked by scans and the scan SAID it was left at the front desk. They suggested I wait a few days cause it might mean that its in Sarasota but not at Ringling. EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ITS DELIVERED I LITERALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR LOGIC. So I waited. Till today (Friday). What motivated me was my lovely parents' care package arrived. AT LEAST THAT GOT HERE. So when I picked that up I asked the girl at the desk about the package. She looked up my trac

Medical Issues

Hi Mom. Guess who woke up with Pink Eye. Bet ya can't guess which eye it is. Just kidding. So went over to the Health Services building for my first walk in. Filled out the usual new patient forms and waited.  Then, something else happened while I was in the office. Something that really scared me. The nurse took me through all the usual tests of temperature, heart moniter and then the blood pressure test, the things I have come to expect when I sit down in a doctor's office. I didn't think anything of it. That is, until my nurse did a double take at the monitor and asked me if I'd ever had high blood pressure before. I've had body image issues for a long time (what girl doesn't), long before my BMI became an issue. But I never really took it seriously because all of the mixed messages a girl can get, "don't change yourself for someone else's idea of beautiful!" "beauty is on the inside!" And while I am blessed to be sur
