Observation Drawing at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum

Hi Mom. 

These are for you. Because the second I walked in, I thought, "Mom would love this. And she'd kill me if I didn't take photos...click click"















 (This is the one I ended up drawing) Even after hearing my teacher tell us, "to avoid the 20s-30s cars if they intimidate us." Well it didn't intimidate me BEFORE you said that. 

The final:

It's not due till Monday but since my weekend will be occupied I've been busting out homework like a mad woman all week. Slightly terrified my teachers will assume me turning things in early will make them want to 'encourage me to spend more time on it'. Honestly I would have spent even less time on these things considering I would have procrastinated them.

After that I went to Cutting Loose On Main Hair Salon (Sarasota) for my haircut. I went for the haircut, stayed for my complimentary shine/semi permanent toning. Even found out when I was finished that my stylist, Kendall (who I had last time) had upgraded me to someone even better (the toning was an extra charge that she waived for me). Definitely felt nice to be pampered after the school stress. Plus it's always nice to feel pretty.
Kinda hard to tell the color difference, but I can tell. It's got a cooler, purple tint. One day I'll break down and have colorful hair, I swear it. 

Also have been obsessed with Hamilton, the new big thing on Broadway that all the kids are raving about. Nick will LOVE it. Mom won't - the reason being it's got a hip hop-rap feel to the music. But I find it more catchy that off putting. Talking to the beat never bothered me. 

Favorite one right now is 'Satisfied'. Mainly because I'm a sucker for a female voice that I can belt along with and because I had an "oh wow that's awful' moment when I listened to the words fully and realized what must be going on in the play (since I haven't seen it and am learning the plot through the soundtrack). Mom listen to this PWEASE just once.

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.  ...
