so it's been a little while...
junior year has been progressing very slowly. i've been having a very rough time and am currently pretty behind on projects. my stress level is pretty high and i just feel like i can't really enjoy doing anything for myself because then i feel guilty that i'm not doing some work for class. and i actually found myself sitting in art history the other morning thinking about how instead of being there, i really should be at home doing some homework...that's bad. but i'm hoping things start to pick up soon. this past weekend, i bought an art desk complete with a desk lamp and chair because it was just time to get one. and i'm really kicking myself for not getting one sooner, because i'm already feeling better about school. I finally have a place to work. before, i was just working on the floor, and it was just not working for me. but now i feel like a real artist. for my one class, illustration methods (which i am the furthest behind in, and the prof always gives me awful crits in), i did this project at my desk and really worked hard, and yesterday when i turned it in he loved it. it was the first positive crit i've had in his class. i'm just more inspired to work now. i love it. and i feel like i've got a fresh start.
rented SUPERSIZE ME last night. OMG! if you haven't seen this, do yourself a favor and get it. so amazing. i really have no desire to eat fast food ever again. totally changed my life. to see what that food does to you from a medical perspective just makes me want to stop eating it cold turkey, which is a big thing for me, because i really do eat some type of fast food EVERY day. it's bad. no wonder i feel so crappy all the time and i'm depressed a lot. and my stomach is always in pain. and last year i even had a kidney stone, so i really need to stop. on the dvd, in the bonus section, there was a deleted scene in which the guy, morgan, who is conducting the test, decides to test how mcd's food decomposes vs. how real food from restaurants decomposes. he puts a big mac, a filet o fish, a mcchicken, and i think a big and tasty in individual jars and closes the lids. then he puts an order of supersize fries in another jar. then he puts a real burger from a restaurant in one jar and an order of fries in another jar. after a week, the fries and burger from the restaurant are already pretty gross. the sandwiches from mcd's have just begun to decompose, and the fries have nothing on them. well after 10 weeks, the sandwiches are disgusting, but the fries still haven't even begun to get gross. and he ends up throwing everything out, so we don't even know how long the fries would've lasted. just think, that goes in our stomach's. we eat that on a regular basis. not good my friends. not good.
finally, stearnie and i will be celebrating our six month anniversary on monday. kinda wierd. this is the longest relationship i have ever been in, and to think we've been together for half a year now just blows my mind. it's been grand, as is he :)
that is all.
