So you know how whenever there's movies that start with closeups of snow, they look all distinct and perfect and like paper snowflakes, six points and delicate and lacy? You know how snow in real life never looks that way, instead more closely resembling really cold cotton fluff or sometimes hard little balls of snow that are halfway to being hail or alternately tiny little fragments of ice? Well guess what? Up here they look like how snowflakes are always described. It's always one of the bonuses of being up here in winter; looking down at your coat and seeing dozens and dozens of tiny little snowflakes all delicate and perfect just sitting on your sleeve, looking like very fancy stars and melting slowly from being so close to you.
It doesn't always snow that way, so it's all pretty, and the snowflakes vary in size from pretty ginormous (for snowflakes anyway) to itty bitty little crystal structures that you can barely even see, but it's still the only time I've ever seen snow looking like the stereotype of how snow is supposed to look.
Still don't have a computer, which is rather inconvenient. I moved into my apartment and thus far my roommates - the ones that I've met - seem nice enough, though I remain somewhat terrified that they'll all decide to hate me. Classes start tomorrow. I need to get my schedule sorted out before then - for example, I am signed up for both Advanced Figure Drawing and Narrative Illustration.
At the same time.
So yeaaaaaaah I should probably figure out which one of those I want to take. I probably should take figure drawing, but I'm starting to feel as though that's all I ever take, that and head drawing. I've already taken figure twice and I think head twice too. I'm pretty sure it's twice for each, in any case. I know that it's more than once.
