The End Is Near

I think I might be suffering from exhaustion. Just kidding.. I do not have a child so I know that is not possible. My life this week was papers, papers papers, and drawing, drawing, drawing. I drew for probably 20 hours this week. My final project was due- and I would post it but its a secret for a couple more weeks...but if anyone is dying to see it, shoot me a text and I will send you a picture :) Today will soon be spent in the library studying for my math 1050 final and my population and society final. But thankfully those tests will be done the first two days of finals and then I am home free and a junior in college :) This fall so far i am signed up for an art history class, natural disaster class (dont ask; it fulfills a grad. requirement), 3D design, and intro to ceramics..this is good because these are all classes I need. I really need to get into a 2D design but it does not fit into my schedule and the only one that does is an art major course but the art advisor said that if come august there is room she will let me in. At the beginning of the semester I was really skeptical of whether or not I was really okay at drawing or good enough to major in art, but after my drawing class I have gotten so much better and have gotten so many compliments about my work (not trying to brag! just proud) that I think I might have a shot getting into the program next February. And if I don't, I can always try again. Getting random compliments from strangers for some reason is so nice. A kid in my art class looked at something I was drawing (that no joke looked like crap and was frustrating me) and he said he was impressed and could tell I had a really cool style to my drawing and could see me doing really well illustrating (which is what I would love to do). He probably did not think much of it, but it is something I won't ever forget. On thursday we all put up our final projects on the wall and people start saying which ones they liked the best and mine was first. I was surprised because I saw some amazing drawings up there. Even though you do not need other people's approval to feel good about your work, I don't know why with art it just makes you feel good to know you are not the only one who enjoyed what you drew. I am a lot less skeptical and really think I can see myself being an art major, despite the fact I do not dye my hair weird colors, pierce everything, and put "artwork" all over my body haha. I always thought art was something that was hard to learn and you just naturally had to be amazing..but I learned so much this semester just in one drawing class, it makes me really look forward to the ones in the fall.

Anywho, I do not know if anyone read all of that. I am just proud of myself I guess, makes me happy :)

Andddd blog challenge #5 :A picture of your favorite memory

I have a ton of good memories...but for some reason this is the first one that stood out.

Last fall I went to Vegas with my mom, sisters, and cousin Steph. I look up to them all so much and had so much fun with them!! Even though I am far away from them (besides Steph), I know that if I ever needed them they are always there for me :) love you guys.
