(no subject)
big update. i dont think i'm going to have a friends only journal anymore.. cause not everyone has a livejournal. i'm going to x-post this in my xanga too.
things have been crazy but really good! i'm so happy. school has been pretty good. i love my drawing class. there are lots of emo kids in it. this one kid is always telling me about shows at the pirates cove (which i hate.. i dont go there unless i have to), i hang out with this kid Cliff when ever we have breaks he's cool, this one guy in the class walks with a cane.. i guess he was in a bad accident that pretty much ruined his life.. he lives in a homeless shelter and doesnt have much of anything.. hes a good artist though and very positive about everything. We draw still lifes a lot. I finished my boot drawing yesturday which i'll post later.
I also started drawing this picture of Jesus yesturday afternoon. i just set up a blanket in the back yard and went to town. I used oil pastels, conte crayon, charcoal, colored pencil, and graphite on it. I'm really really proud of it. it turned out way better then anything I thought i was even capable of drawing. my dad says "its very dramatic". i plan on finishing it this weekend and posting it too. I remained in a spirit of prayer throught the hour and a half that i worked on it. perhaps it was slightly prophetic? i dont know.
Speech class is way better then i thought it could be. i have an A in it so far. i didnt know we were having our first test the other day.. so i wasnt prepared for it.. i only missed two points though! it was really easy. now we're watching Fried Green Tomatoes. i dont know why.. but i dont mind.. its a really good movie!
Statistics.. i dont even want to go there. my teacher is so unorganized and does not know what shes doing. its so confusing trying to learn anything from her lechters. i'm way better off just reading the chapters in the book and learning it that way. i have an A in that class so far though.
Lastly.. Sign Language II.. i like i like. i learn. so much every class. my teacher is deaf. he gets off subject and ends up sharing stories with us all the time. sometimes its hard to follow cause the only way he can communicate is through signing.. but i've gotten used to it. i want to learn sign language really well i think. maybe i'll be an interpreter part time. that would be fun i think. it would be a lot of work though. i'll have to take at least 4 more sign language classes. they offer them all at kent. i dont know what i want to do!
well.. those are my 4 classes i'm taking this semester.. anytime i'm not at school i'm at work. its been pretty crazy here but everything is caught up now and i'm about 2 months ahead on everything.. so today i'm just kind of chilling. i've been here since 9 and i havent done any real work yet really. its very quiet here today. the only productive thing i've done so far.. is i found the wedding dress and vail that i want :) hehe. not that i'm getting married anytime soon.. but you know.. eventually. i have a boy in mind.
Jeffrey and I have been dating for 7 and a half months now. i couldnt been happier. i can not thank God enough for blessing us the way he has.
i'm getting another tattoo soon.. like really soon.. as in maybe tonight. we'll see. dave drew up this awesome flower/vines tattoo for me and i love it. i cant wait to have it stabbed into my skin with needles. its going to be wonderful.
i feel really really inspired to do something artsy right now. i want to paint, draw, take pictures.. anything.
Jeff, Garrett, Tim and I (plus a few others from time to time) have been exploring a lot! we have soo many buildings on our webpage plus more to add still and a huge list of buildings we want to get. its so much fun. i love it. its just so exciting you know? i feel like we lead such exciting lives whenever we explore. its like something you only see in movies.. maybe someday we'll make a movie. i've gotten tougher and better at climbing and hiding and jumping and taking pictures.
well thats all for now. i'll post pictures as soon as i can. i've gott em'. oooh i've gott em'.
ps. i love all of my friends sooo much! you are all so wonderful. i'm pretty sure i'm the luckiest girl in the world to be friends with every single one of you :)
God Bless
