Finally Time and Finally 20

It's the (third) weekend and I found myself with a little free time. I think it's more like me procrastinating on some projects.

I think it's safe to say that I've had a good start this semester. But there have been a couple of dramatizing (maybe exaggerating a little) events.

First I could not find my camera cord anywhere I looked! I started back home and looked through my drawer. You know? That drawer where you stash away everything!? Yeah. So I had to empty it out and look for it. No luck. So then I decided that maybe I had left it behind in my room in Bloomington. Once here I looked through all my stuff and again nothing. So I went home and looked downstairs and found a cord which ended up it was for our T1-84. Finally I decided to look through my brother's book bag because I had borrowed it once and guess what!? It was there! Ugh. Of course my brother had no idea it was there.

We have a super fun project in studio for interior design. It's a challenge because we have to make a chair out of cardboard. This chair has to be functional, meaning it has to hold at least one person. I came up with two designs but my professors picked the most interesting (and the one with the most problems) for me to better. It's coming along, I think. I just really need to work on it. I know for sure I can't leave that for last minute because I'd be dead.

Today I spent most of my day drawing some stairs (for my interior visualization class) and making tracks of difficult music I need to learn for a contest. It's even harder because I'm the only bass in the group. I'm still sticking with it though. It's beautiful music!

Oh yeah. My birthday was this Tuesday. I turned 20. We had a dinner at Cheeseburger and Paradise and then our roommate had made us some cake so most came home for more celebrating. Great times.

Ready for School

Tomorrow is the first day of class of this second semester. I'm really excited especially because I don't have super early classes and I'll have more time for myself and my loved ones, hehe.

I still have much more unpacking to do so right now I'm getting ready for my two classes tomorrow. Making sure I have the materials necessary for my interior visualization class.

My wisdom wound is coming along. I feel the stitches and they should be coming off by themselves. The pain medicine is definitely working and the only time I start feeling pain is when it's getting time to taking it again. I love it. And I only got enough for about a week so it shouldn't be taking that long to heal.

Meh, I just want a lollipop!

"Wisdom Tooth Be Gone!"

That's what I imagined my dentist saying while extracting my wisdom tooth.

I did pretty well, or so they said. I didn't complain at all when they stuck foot-long needs in my mouth or when they extracted the tooth.

"It's out!" One of the assistants said. Next thing I know the dentist is holding it up almost right in front of me. I couldn't believe he pulled that out of me! That thing was huge! But I'm a good boy and didn't cry one bit. I could tell when I got home that the anesthesia was wearing off because of the pain! But I took some pills right away and took a short nap. Then had some veggie soup and a plum. Much better.

That was pretty much all my day! Went to the doctor around 10:30 AM for my brother's appointment and went back around 1 PM for a dentist walk-in. I didn't go in until around 4 and was out by 5. Woke up around 8 and had some food and now time to go to bed again. I should be packing but sleep sounds much better.

Medical Check-Up and a Book

That's right! My last book got here today! I skimmed it all and it looks pretty okay. I don't know if I'll be keeping it for reference though, probably.

Speaking of books I've sold three through my Amazon account. Well they're all my brother's but still. We've sold three so far. Looking good.

I went to the clinic today and got a random check-up just because. I went ahead and got HIV testing just because it was free. And to know. I had to go through a counselor first who asked me serious questions about my sexual life. I thought the "Are you a prostitute?" one was kind of funny. She had to make those questions anyway. My results won't be in until a week from now and even then I have to go in person. And through the counselor whether or not it's positive or negative.

[insert title name]

I checked my missing book's information and noticed that they had given me a tracking number. So I tracked it and it's in Ohio right now. It came all the way from Idaho and spent two days in Washington. I was getting a little nervous that I wasn't going to get it in time! It should be here tomorrow.

I guess today was my last day getting up late. Woke up around noon and had lunch then we all went out. I bought a new pair of pajama pants and a white ink gel pen for my design course.

I finally changed the look of my blog. I liked the old one but it was getting old. Meh.

Art Supplies!

Today I went and bought newsprint paper and Bistrol Vellum. I think I bought the wrong kind though, it's supposed to be smooth :/  When I saw my list of supplies and saw "newspaper paper" I was excited because I've been keeping old newspapers and I figured I could just use those. Haha, no. I bought a 30 lb. packet. Almost like a huge sketchbook. I wonder what I will look like carrying that to class. We'll find out soon.

I also went ahead and bought my Prismacolor set there. Around $12 for 12. Whatever. At least I know these are brand new and all the pencils are present.

Oh, and at the store I saw these cute, tiny easels displaying tiny canvases with the name of the store spelled out. I think I wanna do that for friends! That'd be super cool! And only $2 per canvas and/or easel.

Eh. No doodles today. I was out giving out business cards for my dad's starting business. We'll see how we do this summer.

Deal or No Deal

My Interior Visualization course is asking for a set of Prismacolor pencils. We all know those can't be the most affordable coloring pencils but they are great quality. I found a Craigslist seller asking $45 for two sets; a 120 and a 12 ct. set.

I'm torn. I don't really know if I trust on how good they will be. She says the set of 120 has barely been used. But what if the colors are crappy? Or just not my taste. But it is a lot of pencils for $45.

I didn't do any doodling today! Ugh. But I did work (4 hours).

My voice is back. I still can't sing high though. I love how I use Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You to test my range, haha.

I went grocery shopping with my parents today. Not very fun but we needed to. But then we came home, and surprise surprise! I found three packages begging to be opened! They were my books for school! I'm still waiting for one more, and after that I am buying two more down in Bloomington. :/

Books! Yay! I'm such a dork.

Oh. I failed to attend my best friend's movie night because I started getting a really bad head and toothache. They're gone now -.-

The Second!

First Sunday of the year! And I failed to go to church. Well not really. The choir decided to take a break so I did too. Spent the day with my family (when do I not?). Went out and ordered a morral from a lady who is going to Mexico soon. It's a very lightweight book bag. I'm hoping for something toned-down, don't really want to go around turning heads for the wrong reasons. Because I do love to turn heads.

Last night I really couldn't sleep, which is why I posted in the morning. What did I do? I turned my lamp on and doodled. And since it was already Sunday I counted those doodles for Sunday :) They were pretty decent too. I just want to get in the habit of actually being able to fill up a page with wonderfulness. I get scared though. Scared that it might be "messed up" or something like that. I'm pretty sure somebody else would be fine with just scribbling away, but I find blank pages to be somehow sacred. Either do it right, or not at all. Makes sense, no?

01-01-11

I always say I'm making a big comeback and whatnot. Is it true? Not really.


Well it's, indeed, a new year. What did I do on my first day? A whole lot of nothing. 


I woke up late (1:24 PM to be exact). Then I had some leftovers from last night's dinner. And then hung out at home watching different movies. Ugh, not a very productive day. Unless you count hunting the internet for cool pictures to go into several of my inspiration folders. And I think I'll count that, so scratch what I said before, the first day was a productive day.


I think I started/ended the year right/wrong. Both options for either. I had to work on Friday and I was only scheduled to work about six hours. But then I was asked to stay because someone was not going to show up, so I ended up working around 10 hours. Yeah, I ended the year off right! 


I ended wrong because I got sick. I started losing my voice for some odd reason. I'm guessing it was a combination of being in the cold at work (working both drive-thru windows) and drinking cold beverages. I'm guessing I might be coming down with the flu. I just hope it comes and goes by the time I start school because being sick in class is not very pretty. This is the same reason why I said I started the year off wrong. But not my fault, right? I can barely talk. Let alone sing, and I love to sing. 


I set some resolutions (in my head because on paper I would've felt compromised. Smart, right? I know). And I want to start doodling, or creating at least something nice everyday. Today I waited until it was very late and only doodled a fishie that I saw on a Tom & Jerry cartoon. 


I usually try to copy what I see. I'll work on developing my own style later. Haha. 


Oh well. Time for bed. Well, trying. :/
