I missed a 90 on Leifeste's exam by fifteen points, but he's letting me take it again tomorrow.
Thank god, the test was, as far as I could tell, identical to the review.
And now, I'm trying to learn a few things about government from Wikipedia.
I beat Maylene, the third gym leader, in Pokemon Diamond! I had actually been not playing because I didn't want to train up my team, but her Lucario never used Drain Punch, so I beat it easily by using my Prinplup's BubbleBeam attack two or three times. Now, I'm off to beat Team Galactic and then Wake.
I am going to sleep forever tomorrow night.
Except I can't.
Because I have to look for books I owe Mr. Childs.
And night after that, I'll hopefully have graduation.
God help the person who would wake me up on Saturday.
I've started trying to do a few things differently in my art. It always seems like other artists are pretty concerned with getting better as they draw more. For a long time, though, I would draw without really making any conscious effort. When I do make conscious effort, I get frustrated and the art never lives up to the aspirations I had for it. If I can't try to make my current art style better (although I do kind of like my art style, I by no means consider it very attractive or good yet), then I might as well use bits and pieces of other artists' styles to experiment with my own. Maybe I could take the things I like about others' styles and make my own style that I love. Now, I know I'm not interested in anime, mainly because I'm neither Japanese nor weeaboo (well, not too much, I'd like to think), but also because I don't like drawing in it. The eyes are hard to get right on 3/4 view, the mouths and noses just look weak to me. Not to say that there isn't gorgeous anime-style artwork by Americans; I have close friends who are brilliant at it. But it is seriously not for me.
And I really didn't intend for that to turn into an anime rant. ;-;
On a slightly related note, when it comes to drawing furries, digitigrade feetsies are awesome and fun to draw.
I am pretty tired.
Call it irrational, but I fucking hate pulp in orange juice.
I guess I'll go make coffee soon. Even if it does make me shakey and sick for the rest of the day.
Man, I just realized that I'm about to not be Guildmaster anymore. :/ That actually seems a lot sadder than stuff like knowing I'll never play in band again or use the school art supplies or check out books from the library.
I wonder how well I'll make friends in college. I wonder, if I do make new friends, if I'll like them, or if I'll just have something in common with them.
