so slacker

oh my god i am so slacking. my apologies. it's been a good like 10 days since i've updated this. oopies. but yes, jon, i am alive but rather busy and rushed. i've just half-packed for austria. i am slightly frustrated, as usual. the last two days after chess set crit were amazing, lots of fun and no responsibilities. fuck yes. i've been home since...friday i think, but i'm leaving again early in the am on friday (tomorrow is "christmas" at the kobe's). so then something like 6 days in austria, 4 days in wisconsin, then its back to school. how ridiculous. but i'm so excited anyway

no, kevin, i haven't posted the pictures yet (they're not on this computer) but this is to get you back, cuz you know i'm still getting those emails from blogspot... thanks for responding, goes to show you care. i'll just show them to you when i get to wisconsin. yea. deal. ;-)

love you all, off to...i dunno, not sleep...

7... what? 7. 1 week. ahhhh

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

it's snowing outside and it's so beautiful. i'm such a california girl at heart, i still get excited when it snows. still not done with this paper...it sucks...but then again i did take a 3 hour break with the help of alizé and benjie...naughty naughty.

i guess i'm on santa's naughty list now. shucks.

100% me

i'm so lucky that i've found someone with whom i can completely be myself. it's rather incredible. for the first time i don't have to worry about what i'm going to say before i say it just in case it makes him not like me or something. i was beginning to get sad until i realized that

a) it's only 20 days
b) for the first time in a long time, i can be me. totally.
c) i'm so lucky

that puts me in a much better mood to go off and write this english paper. i plan to be asleep by 8 am. maybe 7. i love you.

"if you get botox in your buttocks, you won't be able to move your ass"

so today was our 3d crit, which lasted ALL DAY. by the end, i think we had all lost our minds (see julian's quote above). but it was a good critique and gareth was really happy with our class's progress. after getting out of 3-d (at 6!) and having a good nap during art history, it was time for the met, thayer, the met again, and then back to the room to "work"...riiight. lets just say i did my laundry, cleaned my room, and did everything possible BESIDES my me-stick until about an hour ago. now it's drying.

but i'm so tired and so not ready to study for my exam on thursday, write my english paper that's due friday, or do anything related to chess set. but i have to. and in 10 days, i'm going home. but until then, i'm welcoming hell week with open arms.

i'm going to miss our section. our little section 13. we should have a section 13 party. go team.

so good night to you all. i love you and i miss you all. 22.

mmm...wah...

for some reason i just got really sad. but not in a homesick way, just a...i dunno what kind of way. i think i may just be stressed out and need a cry a little or something. that and, i'm going to be honest, i miss kevin. kinda a lot. clearly huh, hah. ughhh i don't know what to do with myself...only 12 more days until the semester is over...just 12... i can't wait until 8 pm, december 14th. when chess set is out of my life for good.

but even more than that i can't wait until 9 pm december 29th.

oh, and btw, i added pictures to the risd page too. they're not that interesting. and alice and yumi say they're sending me the pictures they took at the dinner tonight (i forgot my camera) so those will likely be coming soon...

ahh i need to sleep...just 24...24...24.

happy birthday to me

so even though it hasn't been my birthday for the past two hours and fourteen minutes, it was fun while it lasted. i had the most unproductive day every, but i'm pretty much ok with that. yumi, saera, alice and i went to paragon for dinner. i didn't think we had to get dressed up, but apparantly we did so alice threw a bunch of clothes at me and i got ready in about...2 minutes. tops. not that anything really went together (especially after getting a hunting hat and skeleton key from saera for my birthday). yumi took a picture of me as i was leaving to run over the ben's for a sec (in which i look shocked) which i posted on the me page. just to give you an idea. please note that i also had on a grey cardigan and big felt coat on top of all this, and that its snowing and i'm walking in heels. not so good of times.

my mommy sent me flowers and "truffles and bisquits", yumi got me the sad tree and made me the cutest card (i realized we have so many inside jokes, haha), saera got me the aforementioned hat and necklace, and ben and alice got me a pipe. it's soo pretty, alice tried to explain it to me. apparantly it's got three layers of glass in it, and the innermost one changes colors or something when it heats up? we're having a pipe-christening on wednesday (or perhaps next wednesday, we'll see). i have the sweetest friends, it's so fun. it's almost enough to make me not want to transfer..but...ahh. alice tried to throw away my art center app today, naughty girl.

so i basically got almost no homework done (worked on the me-stick for a while) and had a very happy birthday in the process. but now i'm tired, and as alice just mentioned we only have six hours until class. so i'm going to try to kick her out (haha alice, serves you right for reading over my shoulder) and go to bed. g'night lovelies. i love you all. 24

very productive

i basically worked all day today, minus the hour and a half spent on thayer getting yumi a tongue piercing. merry christmas my dear. i got my self portrait done (which i hate, but it's done) and my stupid color study. i have a me-stick and all my 3-d left to do.. ahhhh, the stress is creeping up on me, i can feel it. but i got a lot done today so i don't feel so guilty about going to paragon for dinner with some friends tomorrow night.

we put christmas lights and a sad christmas tree up in my room today (a short break from all that tissue paper). it makes me happy. i love the holidays.

i put a bunch of pictures on the risd pictures page and the me page. in case anyone is interested.

it's technically my birthday right now, but it doesn't feel like it cuz i haven't slept yet. so i'm going to bed. first going to wash my face to get all the charcoal off. 1.5 studios down, 1.5 more to go. and an english paper and art history exam. boo.

i love you all, goodnight. 25

tissue, tissue, and more tissue

there is tissue paper everywhere.

it looks like a rainbow threw-up in my room.

all part of a day's work. in 2-d.

i'm going to post pictures tomorrow, i've promised myself. i have kind of a lot.

i am sad and stressed, but it will all be over soon! good night, i love you all.

2-dimensional world

today was a long day. 2-d was it's usual laid-back self, art history nearly bored me to death, and there is no hot water in south. saera, ben, and i went to portfolio for dinner (even though it was like 4 pm) and then the three of us + alice worked on our self-portraits in waterman for a loong time...i started at 7.30, just got back at around 2ish. granted some of that time was spent on the phone...so i was slightly slower than usual. it's still not quite done yet, but as ben says "i'm over the hump".

i'm hungry. it's 3 am. i shouldn't eat anything. i'm getting up soon, or so i keep telling myself. gotta write a stupid english response. good fucking times. love you bunches, g'night g'night.

27. woah.
