Free the Salamander

Hi Mom!

Today I woke up at 10 (yay for sleeping in on Wednesdays) and got up to do laundry. While waiting for laundry I also did the second half of my Drawing homework in which we had to draw a one point perspective version of a room. The first one is the laundry room and the second is my dorm hall. Hate the dorm hall one it's just kinda bleh. The laundry room has a little more character. I also did it with no ruler in the final drawing because I got REEMED by my Drawing teacher on my last homework assignment for having an obviously ruler heavy final drawing (I ended up redoing that homework and will be resubmitting tomorrow). So. No Ruler = No straight lines. Sigh. 


The lighting is obviously different but they are the same color.
Before my Film and Narrative class, Mr. Salamander got stuck inbetween my window and the window screen. So of course I set on a rescue mission to help him get back out. And he was stubborn. So rather than getting him back out the hole he crawled in through, I ended up pushing the screen out slightly and he is now free. YOU'RE WELCOME. I've decided that salamanders are Florida's version of Colorado's rabbits.
For Film and Narrative we watched the 1943 "I Walked With A Zombie". It was meh. I've got nothing against black and white oldies, but the story was bleh and semi boring with one of those love interests where you ask yourself, "Wait you LOVE him? Really? You met him like two days ago? You don't love him. "

 After Film and Narrative, roomie Emelie and I ate at the Brickman Cafe which is in the Academic Building where we had class. Very pretty outside seating. The entire deck is under this huge tree (couldn't get a good picture of it). But I did manage to get 1/2 of the deck to show you the very artsy setup. My college campus is definitely prettier their yours. The sun coming in was gorgeous and it actually wasn't too hot today.

Then I took other roomie, Sam, to a Target that was way too far away and was eerily empty and low stocked. Stupid navigation. I know that wasn't the closest Target. Stop lying to me.

Now I will watch America's Next Top Model until I crash and get up early for Drawing 1 tomorrow. Luckily I'm done with my classes at 11:15am - darn.

On a random note I just discovered that the plastic drawing triangle I needed for Drawing tomorrow, which I didn't think I had, so I went out and bought it (a ridiculous $8 for plastic), I already fricken had one. Way to go same. Now have 2 overpriced plastic drawing triangles.

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
