Beach: Siesta Key

Hi Mom.

So today I hung out with basically 1 of the 2 friends I have made this semester. I made a 3rd friend in her crusted gecko whose name I cannot pronounce because it's Gaelic. 


Then, once her girlfriend, Kim, got off of work we had a late lunch/early dinner and went over to Siesta Key, which is supposed to be one of the best beaches in the US. And while it was evening and cloudy, it was a gorgeous beach with white sandy shores and ice blue waves.


Ariel and Kim are cuties.













Still, no beach will ever compare to my love in Coasta Del Sol in Spain where my obsession with beach photos began. Above definitely feels lacking when compared to the below photo.

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.  ...
