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.

Volunteer Orientation at HSSC

Image
Hi Mom. I may have mentioned last month - to you and Jason mostly - that I sent in an application to volunteer at the Humane Society of Sarasota County. It had been something I'd been thinking about doing since coming to Ringling, mainly because of the lack of animal socialization I receive living in a dorm on a college campus. When I started baby-talking to the local squirrels before winter break, I knew something needed to change. Then, Katy passed away. It's easy to not think about it, especially when I'm so far away and in a place I would never associate Katy with. Katy wasn't a part of my Ringling experience. She was the thing I got to see when I flew home for holidays/breaks. She wasn't here she was there...now she's...not. But now that she's gone I'd do anything to make it so she was. So, during my first week back from Winter Break, in the middle of a very dark, lonely, let's-think-of-every-awful-thing-that's-ever-happened kind of ni...

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...

Charlie

Hi Mom (and everyone else), Welp...it's been a year. A little more than a year actually. And what a year it was. So many things happened, some great things...and some heartbreaking. But I'm back. We'll see if it sticks,  I hear my pessimistic voice say. But one blog post won't kill me, if anything it's a welcome distraction (I am currently sitting at my post at my school's Fitness Center, swiping cards. One can only watch so many episodes of America's Next Top Model in a row before looking for another distraction). I may eventually delve into the life altering events that occurred during these past fifteen months that I've refused to blog, but for now, let me gush about the newest addition to my life: Charlie. This is Charlie, if you hadn't already guess ^  (featuring a blurry Bill in the background) Jason and I adopted Charlie on April 28th, my last week of sophomore year at Ringling. Here is how he came to be...more or less.  ...
