Michiru is glad there is no class tomorrow.
I woke up this morning feeling very mixed.
I had, and still have, a rather odd sinus headache that won't go away with pain killers or decongestants.
I did make myself feel a little better-- I printed out a few images that I was going to use for my painting and thought I might as well print out a few Chris images, so now they're on my wall. There's this one particular picture of her that is very beautiful in my opinion... even though it's only in just black and white. But it's just... beautiful. It's next to desk now... on the wall... over my Saber and Chris figurines.
I hope to draw-- paint... anything... that kind of art someday. Even if the art department finds it to be only illustration, I think it's a type of fine art...
I feel myself blushing? I don't know what it is, but my cheeks are rosy, and it feels warm, even on my hands... especially my right one, but I think that's probably because I accidentally took a nice chunk out of my ring finger while opening the door yesterday night.
I've finished sketching on the canvas, and finalized my design. Tomorrow I think I'll spend a good deal of my day in the studio, painting. Even though I don't have a space on the wall, I don't know what's due because I don't have the syllabus (she hasn't e-mailed me back), I'm not officially in the class yet without a permission code, and I don't have a taboret... I should probably get it almost done so that I don't fall too behind. I know we're supposed to write something, and I don't know when that is due either. I ought to be worried and stressed about it, but I have other feelings that are much stronger than that and it pulls my attention away from it.
I feel like a wreck, I feel like I'm not good enough. No doubt in my mind that I'll wake up optimistic again. I always do. It's sickening.
But to sleep! It feels good...
Today was a rather bad day.
I hope you had a better one.
