In an effort to motivate myself, I have decided to practice drawing every day and then compile my doodles at the end of each month so I can see my progress. For extra incentive, I will post this so you can all see my failure. I hope that encourages me to work hard so I'm not embarrassing myself.
My main focus is learning how to draw people since that's what I'm most interested in. This first month might be a bunch of faces until I get comfortable with different angles and start developing a style I actually like.
I started buying Christmas presents after Thanksgiving (for me this means ordering online). Eh...I hope everything gets here in time. I think I started a bit late.
I'm going to start making cookies, tortes, strudel, etc. (it is going to take 5 years) on Saturday. I want to learn all my grandma's recipes, so I'm going to be cooking with her, my cousin, and my mom. It should be a good time, though I am kind of impatient and I know I will be baking all day to make one batch of cookies. It's not Christmas at my house without cookies, tortes, and veal soup. GOD IT'S SO GOOD.
