I thought becoming an art history tutor would be good - not just for the money, but also for slowly immersing myself into more social situations. Well, now it seems to be backfiring. My art history professor said that some students have been bragging to other students about how much I've helped them. She ended our meeting with a phrase that ( Read more... )

I can't remember a time when I've felt so lonely - and by no means should I, at least until two months from now. In this journal, I've made a few entries about this girl I've befriended due to a mutual understanding of social anxiety and passion for art. Unfortunately, she'll be going to a different university next semester ( Read more... )

So now you must all bow before my presence and address me as, "The National Logo Contest Winning Snowman" !!!!!! XD Of course, if anyone takes that seriously, I'll have to kill them since I'm NOT enjoying all the attention I've already been getting from it ( Read more... )

Well, so much for thinking I've been making progress against my social anxiety. It's difficult to explain, but while I have made progress in some areas, others seem to have escalated into far worse problems. And even in the areas that I thought I made progress, how I handle these situations seems to randomly fluctuate from day to day and even ( Read more... )

This looked fun . . .

Okay - getting regular stomach-aches and indigestion induced by stress from witnessing ridiculous fights between other family members is simply no fun. I want back at my university soooooo bad . . . fortunately it'll be open next Wednesday *whew*. Until then, I'll be playing Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 : Echoes sequentially. As if that ( Read more... )

Home again, finally. After my last entry we went to Austin to stay at my uncle's for a week, and the hotel I was staying at didn't have any internet access that I could use. Thankfully, we've got power at my house now, so things should be comfortable, at least physically. Anyway, so much to say, gotta put it behind several cuts.

This past week has been crazy . . . Thursday, my mom, sister, and I went more northward to one of my mom's friend's house because of Rita. Of course, my dad remained the stubborn idiot that he is and stayed. A lot of this city got hit pretty bad, but luckily our side didn't get hit all that hard. Just some minor roof damage is all we got, and ( Read more... )

Two weeks off . . . and then of course the fall semester kicks in to bring back the stress. It's been a fairly eventful summer, mostly because I took some summer sessions. Web Design was FUN !!!!!!, History of Photography was okay, and Watercolor was FUN !!!!!! even though I thought I would hate it. It was all groovy cool (especially since I ( Read more... )

I may be getting a bit too carried away with art . . . I'm happy that I've finally found something I'm so passionate about, but it's probably about to takes its toll on me. Particularly in the most recent semesters, I've been working my @$$ off in my art classes. I spend a good 96% of my spare time either working or thinking about the projects I ( Read more... )
