Happy Love Day.

Surprisingly enough I was hardly conscious of it. But that might be that colleges are pretty much ignorant of holidays in general. My whole thought was "shit! I have so much to do!" the entire day. The day passed pretty insignificantly....
Well sort of.

I attempted to draw a naked old man in my drawing class today. Yeah, it was a little weird but then after a while I was just thinking "Shit! Why must I be the most suck face and newb ass in the class! I can't get proportions right!!!"
The initial sight of the penis was "Gah!, oh my god!" but then it just became another segment of lines and most of the poses he did I was in a spot where that part wasn't really viewable.
So yeah, I've attempted the ever frustrating thing called Figure Drawing. I hate drawing people with a vengence unless they're my cartoon-esque ones in my notebooks and even then it is slightly frustrating. Still, it is something I should learn to do because I really want to attempt to draw some story boards and make my stories come to life. From there I might have more success in doing the mini-films that I always see in my head. I think the film idea will stay strictly a hobby though, a pursute that I slowly inch towards as compared to throwing myself in to it. The same goes for photography. I prefer to experiment in my own time though I do seem to have a rather good eye for composition and I enjoying trying new things. I am not like my friends but it will be a nice life long thing.

I am slightly de-stressed but that is because Thursday are essentially Fridays. I only have one class tomorrow and my homework for the weekend shouldn't be too killer though I have some reading to catch up on and all that. I have it planned out though. I work for four hours in the library tomorrow and will put in my time delving in to books and mini sketches that I need to try doing. I need to do some more studies of predators too because I have a really good idea for a drawing but it will require research in to animal anatomy. It is a fantastical thing but if I work at it it should come out cool.
Either way I need to sketch. It is the end of the third week and I need 30 sketches done in four weeks.

This semester feels like it is whipping by. Sometimes the days feel really long but other times I blink and they're gone.

I still feel rather evasive of people. But I have been busy and forced to stay in Loey-land. It is nicely balanced by my roomie and our new friend Ton. She's a transfer and practically lives in our room. We all have a positive impact on each other which is why we hang out. She's in my math class too so we help each other on homework. Being from NYC she's still adjusting to the absoloute rural-ness of the area but she's easing in to it. I say that coming in the fall is semester in easier though. There's more going on and more spirit through the campus with Odd/Even womens game and various other events....and it's freakin' BEAUTIFUL!!!
You do really have to get used to the fact that the town is so dead though. When they talk about the Wells Bubble they mean it. Life does not exist outside of here. I mean, what the fuck is a TV anyway?

Man, I'm cursing like my soc professor. Hahaha. I love her though. That class pleasantly challenges my brain. It is what school should be. Why do they not teach sociology in high school? Honestly, it is so important. It is better than psych. Screw individualism, collectivism is healthier, smarter, leaves a few less problems cause you're thinking as one as opposed to me-me-me.

Anyhoo....
I think I'm going to head upstairs and get math out of the way. Lately I'm weaning myself off the lappy a little more if I can help it so I just use comp labs.
Peace.

P.S. I love you.
And you.
And you.
And oh, you too.
