SL sketchbook.

This is my friend Vincent, from my sketchbook. I have been trying to get back to drawing in my sketchbook more consistently, which has been somewhat of a challenge for me in the past. The idea of a drawing being 'finished' was drilled into my head from long ago, but this idea that a drawing can be quick, imperfect and still be meaningful is one that I am trying to embrace since it was introduced to me at MIAD. Drawing in a sketchbook is a good way to practice that.

And there's no better time to draw than when you're forced to sit still and listen in the most boring service 'learning' class EVER. Please teach me something we haven't talked about for the last four weeks. (Baby rant.) Hope you like it, and I'll try to post more drawings really soon!

Green Bean Harvest.

I was pulling part of the mass amount of weeds we have around the house this morning, (apparently the tenants who are supposed to mow the lawn have never heard of a "weed whacker" before...) and threw them in the huge pile we've already got going. That's next to the garden, so I checked up on that. The zukes are being a little weird, they aren't growing big and fast like I remember them to. But I was pretty shocked to find that my loner green bean plant had produced finally. Out of many, many seeds we planted, only one grew. But it was good to me!

Admission to IU College of Arts and Sciences.

The wait to hear back from Indiana University is over - I'm an admitted student now (again). I almost went there at the beginning of my college career. Things would be so much different if I had gone there in the first place. But here I am, glad to have been through everything I have, yet very ready to move on.

The quest for someone to sublet my apartment begins now. We'll see what this Fall holds in store. I don't know where I'll be or what exactly I'll be doing. I'm still waiting for my alphabet n00ds and marinara to give me the the answers.
