I'm Alive


Hi Mom.

I'm alive, just haven't been blogging because aside from getting to go to Disney World, all I've really done is sit around and hang with my bestie Emily, who flew home today. :(

Oh, one thing that DID happen was I came back to the dorm...Monday night and the second I walked through the door a wall of heat hit me hard. I was drenched in sweat in .2 seconds. I didn't think too much of it because I had been away all weekend and figured I'd grown accustomed to really good air conditioning. But then...I came back Tuesday night after hanging out with Emily and the room was still stifling. Like suffocatingly so.

I asked my roommates if it felt hotter (because it was a good 10 degrees warmer in our room than in the hallway) and they agreed. So at 9pm I went into our school server and put a complaint that our room's AC was broken. There wasn't ANY air coming out of the vent. By noon today I recieved an email saying my request had been closed and the solution to the problem consisted of them adding 3 lbs of R-22 (I have zero idea of what that means), meaning it should have been taken care of...yet no one ever came by the room? So I walked over to the vent and actually felt the cold air turn on and start pouring into our room. Yay!

That's legit been all the drama so far.

In Film and Narrative today we watched Shutter Island, and not to brag (but I will) I totally called the ending. I could hear Mom in my head, "Yes you're very smart, now shut up."

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.
