Hello all!
What a week this has turned out to be. Not in terms of academics, but the weather has just been ridiculous! First thing it's raining, then hail, then there is ten minutes of sunshine...and we're back to stormy rain.
It's a privilege to be able to experience all four seasons of the year in one week in Ashland. We're so lucky.
But in terms of academics is a little stressed. Not only am I pressed for time with increased work schedules at work and theatre practice, but I have also become dumb enough to not come up with a project for my environmental studies class. The project is due monday.
...yes. Yes, I'm an idiot.
So this entry will be short as I have work in the next 50 minutes and I still need to find a topic to discuss. This lesson will be thoroughly thought through as the weekend progresses. I hope everyone else's Friday is full of excitement, though! Later~

It's a beautiful morning...aaah
At least that's what I kinda thought waking up at 6:30 this morning to see the nice, cold weather.
Anyway, this will probably be the only time I post this early as I do enjoy my sleeping habits as of late. And yes, I totally realize college has broken my strict discipline in getting up early for class. When did this revelation happen? ...probably during Winter term, when waking up at 7:30 was bad enough for me. OH COLLEGE, WHY HAVE YOU BROKEN ME?!
...*a-hem* onto other news...
Coming along on my illustration class, hopefully I can make copies for everyone. Or get it published and then everyone can just buy it! Isn't that selfish of me?
Musical Theatre Workshop has degraded my aspirations for being a part of the class; it's kind of like being in high school choir again, where there are some parts I enjoy about it (the people, the teachers, the learning process) and then the not-so-great parts (no solos...). Again, selfishness.
And work is still a drag, especially when they schedule me to work on a day I have a class. After all the cleaning I do for them and...
...
WOW, I have been really selfish this week! I definitely don't mean to, but...huh.
In other news, still trying to figure out what to write about for my Environmental Studies class. It has to pertain to something about a depleting resource and its impact on the environment.
So it's either going to be about the costs to produce coins such as pennies, nickels and dimes, overpopulation of the white-tailed deer, or fast food waste. But I need to decide soon, it's due in two weeks...
And other than that, just been looking for apartments/2nd job/planning my future out, which I really hate to due. Especially if I don't know where I'm going now.
Ah well, it's time for me to get breakfast. Can't finish a coat on an empty stomach! Hope everyone is doing fine and I wish you a good day! Later~

3rd week - nice weather?!
So the forecast proclaimed that Ashland would have been swarmed with clouds all week, and what happens yesterday?
BOOM.
Instant sunshine and 60˚ weather all weekend long. Kind of a sudden shift, but I'm okay with it. Not that I would do anything within the nice weather, but still.
Anyway, third week, right? Lately I've been feeling like my own character has been slipping. Not so much personality wise but my study skills have become atrocious. It probably doesn't help that
•most of my metalsmithing projects need to be done during class/lab time
•most of my illustrations for Digital Illustration can only be done in the computer lab
•most of the songs I'm learning in Musical Theatre Workshop has to be practiced inside the classtime
...and
•all my lecture notes for Environmental Studies are posted online
...whatever shall I work on when I come back from classes for the night?!
Granted, I've always wanted more freetime to finish other projects, but this term it feels like everytime I come home there has to be something school-related I have to do. So...it feels a little weird.
I'm just going to have to toughen up my life and cut off my free-time expenses.
So hard on my self...*sniff*
So what else has been going on? Um...
Theatre practice crew leader probably thinks I'm an idiot, not sure why.
Thoroughly enjoying my Sunday game night (in which I partake in gaming with my friends and we enjoy a nice dinner)
and planning for the summer where it's come to the conclusion that I need to work two jobs AND find a cheap-o apartment to rent with friends AND maybe take a science class to get ahead of my degree requirements.
...I'm...not really looking forward to the summer.
But anyway, I hope y'all are having a good Friday and I will talk to you later! Later~

Sick, sick, sick...
Hey all. So nothing much has happened this week except three things:
1) Severe cold
2) fever, and
3) my time of the month
All simultaneously happening. Fantastic.
Luckily, only missed one day of class, but missed out on my work schedule of the week. NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING, but...yeah. It's been not a great week, sort to say.
What's more, we had auditions for solos for my Musical Theatre Workshop class...and both days I had lost my voice. So...that was interesting.
Anyway, mostly today will consist of staying low and not being so active. Other than seeing How to Train Your Dragon in 3D (which was AMAZING!). Oh, and outlining my illustrations for the book I'm making. Chances are, once the class is done I will send my project to a publisher since so many people have asked for a copy. Soooooooo hopefully my story will get through...? I'm not sure how the whole process works.
Oh, and Grandma and Grandpa: I haven't received your letter/mail yet. I am concerned, especially when I just went to the mailroom today and saw a notice about mail theft. UM...yeah.
So I'm off to try and beat this stupid cold...I hope y'all are having a much more successful Friday and I will talk to y'all later! Later~

April showers brings more power
Ah, I love it when I totally break my own promises about keeping up my blog during Spring Break.
Well, I apologize about not posting during the break. So let me just sum it up in a few words: relaxing, depressing, and overwhelming. Mostly because I spent time outside my dorm room, worked ridiculous hours and traveled basically all of western Oregon.
Anyway, Spring classes seem to be off to a good start. While I am taking 18 credits, most of these classes are...well...easier than last term's:
Environmental Studies - mostly about what it is and the environmental changes effects on society. Mostly reading. But less so than the last two terms (English, History...)
Digital Illustration - I GET TO MAKE AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK! Enough said.
Metalsmithing - I GET TO MAKE METAL SCULPTURES! and get to think outside the box moreso than usual.
Chinese 103 - advanced lessons, not sure if this will be continuing on to next year as more people have dropped out of the class.
Musical Theatre Workshop - I'm actually disappointed about this class. Last year I heard about how students were challenged to pick their own solos/duets, choreograph it themselves and then perform it before an audience for their final project. Instead, this year all solos/duets/group songs are focused on anything written by music legends Kander and Ebb (who brought us Chicago, Cabaret, etc.)
And I'm not really a big fan of Kander and Ebb. BUT this will be a challenge so we'll see how this goes.
Still work at Wendy's. Taking more bold steps into realizing how silly customers actually are. Someday I will find a new job.
Speaking of work, I should probably get going; I close tonight. Ugh.
Anyway, so I hope y'all have a good Friday and I'll talk to you soon! Later~
