And RISD awaits me as I heard from them on Saturday.
The weekend went like this:
Friday school was great, consisting of several movies, including A-bomb tests. It made me want to be in WWII and be a sailor, just so I could see the tests. I went to my Grandmas house, and helped her move plants into a mans car who called me Chris. Drawing class was fun, except I forgot how to draw for the duration of the class.
Saturday I woke up and my face was greasy, so I washed it and went to piano lessons, where I received my usual scolding about how I am not efficient with my fingers, and I will never be good if I dont learn to be. I got my report card, and my acceptance letter from RISD, and another scolding, this time about the report card. Then Emma and Joylene took me to buy new clothes. We bought things, both cheap and expensive, ate at Denny's, and I threw up on the inside when a half way nude man stared at me in the dressing room from a store that will remain unnamed (Cough, cough, abercrombie, cough).
Today I woke up to a freezing room, ate, and went to the Barnacle to clean books again. I think the coolest book this time was a 1000 page long book of adds from 1886, all for railroad equipment. I also found alot of handwritten notes in the books, dated all the way back to the 1830's. Its cool to see someones actual handwriting from 170 years ago. I then went to my Grandmas, and picked up a painting that wont fit in her new apartment, which is still sitting in the back of my car. I went home and did laundry, and homework.
