Three weeks... my portfolio has, admittedly, eaten up at least three quarters of my life... It's worth 50% of this year and apparently half of the class will be taking work experience for one semester in a gallery. They say they're going to randomly select who does the work, but I'm guessing that the major kiss-ups in class will get the places. We ( Read more... )

I'm so glad classes have started back up! It was all getting just a little bit strange and boring having nothing to do... I'm hoping everyone is starting to feel better after all this business with the mako. I have no idea why they'd even have mako here... I don't remember the installation of a mako generator ever going though government... oh well ( Read more... )

A month... you'd think that, with all this free time, I'd have more time to keep this updated, but so much has been going on to keep me busy...

I've been drawing and painting a lot. Making things for the people that are sick. Maybe just a splash of colour will brighten their spirits, at least. Plus it keeps me busy and keeps my skills sharp. I'm ( Read more... )

The people in my classes are dropping like flies thanks to this sickness...

I must be the only one in about 90% of my classes. So many people are out sick that I find myself just sitting there in classes with no one but me and lecturer. For some reason, our classes haven't all been suspended yet. Our lecturers are just so determined to still pull ( Read more... )

So many people are getting sick now... whatever's going on seems pretty serious, a lot more serious than any flu virus. I've been hearing that it's been making people go crazy. I have my own personal experience of that, but it's not my place to talk about it ( Read more... )

I haven't been round much at all lately. I've only been on campus for classes, but I'll be back around as usual on Monday, though I probably won't be in classes until Wednesday. I think I may need a couple of days ( Read more... )

When it rains, it pours!

This first week of classes has gone from slow to elevated to overwhelming. They're really overloading us with Art History this year, though I'm really enjoying Graphic Design and Photography. I'm planning to get as much sketching on paper and on my new tablet (thank you, Rikku!) as I can done this weekend. It'll keep me busy ( Read more... )

A nice, quiet start to the semester :)

Classes have been pretty easy, just some basic things to work us up to the harder stuff that's bound to come along as the semester progresses. I'm in a graphic design class this semester as well! I had that and photography today, both of which were a lot of fun. I want to learn about all artistic mediums, and I ( Read more... )

Well, first off, thank you Rikku for the shopping trip! I didn't actually realise I needed to get some essentials... it's funny how your shape can change after a couple of months away: gaining shape in some areas, losing it in others... the shopping trip helped ( Read more... )

Well, we're back~! The longest and most incredible vacation I have ever had ever. I think Kairi was right: I do feel more confident. I feel better in myself than I have done... well, in my life, to be honest. I always considered myself a quiet wallflower; I knew I'd never stand out in a crowd and never be picked for anything. But I feel differently ( Read more... )
