Guess what?

Ever have one of those days when you can't pinpoint a reason why, but you're really pissy all day?

Also, ever have one of those moments when you e-mail a business professor, begging to get into his class and you miss-spell entrepreneurial  twice? You spell it entrepaneurial. twice. and send it.

I feel like an idiot.

Mrrh...

God I hate the job market today. Moreover, I hate applying to a million jobs, which is what I'm doing. I'm not looking forward to WORKING, but money is a necessity. Rrrrgh. But I did do a commission for 20 dollars... and by that I mean I finished it 2 days LATE ;_; I'm not going to make him pay me. But I did DO it for today, if he still wants it. T_T (I was too impatient to scan it, and a few blobs were still wet. Thank goodness acrylic paint can just be nudged off)

anyhoo, drawing was boring. Actually no, it was Boring. We critiqued the homework, and that was it. The teacher expected us to stick around and do more work, but I just doodled whatever I wanted in my sketchbook, which (without music or movie playing) gets boring over the course of three hours. However, I did make some good sketches.

I love this one. I need to do more detail more often.

Climbin' trees with Justin<3

this one is simply titled 'I don't do dresses'. Hence the face.

Drawing class was good.

We actually had a young model. An attractive one, too. Not that Mary isn't lovely... she's just.... LINE-Y. Anyway: drawings!!!

Okay. So this is her. Kristen, apparently. Young and pretty and awesome and not old... ahh... this took me about twenty minutes, on small sketchbook paper with an EBONY pencil, I believe... possibly my woodless pencils.

This is a gesture I did that I really loved. I wished I could take it and make a larger scale version without a pink marker gesture over it, but she never made that pose again. So I scanned this one.

This is on the same page as the previous picture, but I liked the shading. So yeah. She was pretty.

AND I HAVE A CAR!!!!

SUNNNNN

Oh GOD today is a nice day!!! This morning the weather was TERRIBLE. Rainy, foggy, wet, miserable: did not want to go outside. Around 1, my boyfriend and I walked to the Gorham Grind. I thought it was so nice outside we spent the next 4 hours outside. God damn. So nice.

Thank god for sunshine <3 <3 <3 ((that's actually a really old drawing. But I don't have anything new right now, and I wanted to update.))

Oh, how about an old Self Portrait?

Uuugh.

Today was a shitty day in every sense of the word. Shitty weather, shitty events, shitty feeling. Dancing between hungry and feeling sick for most of the day is fun.

And congrats to this college for having a GREAT means of billing!! Not. First off USM didn't inform me I owed money, except subtly on a website I never visit, in an area I never check. So I go to drop off my room deposit so I can live on campus again, and this horrible blond girl announces to me "We can't accept the deposit." Curious, thinking all my payments are made by my wonderful mother who handles my finances, she says it's because I added a class.

"Wasn't the bill sent to my billing address?" I ask.

"No," she retorts, as though I said something preposterous like 'Are your hands lobsters?'. "We send our bill once a semester. Your added class had to be paid by this date."

So I'm new. I'm a freshman, for goodness sake. "Oh- well I had no way of knowing, I'm only a freshman. Is there some way I could pay my deposit anyway? I have the money I owe."

The blond girl gets some woman on the phone, and the woman asks me casually how I am. "Honestly? Not too great." The woman laughs and says lightly, "well lets see if there is some way we can get you feeling better."

She announces to me that a check for over 7000 cleared in December, and my Scholarship of 1700 cleared as well, and I still owe 947 for the class I added. Yes, I'm aware. "I Have the money, I can pay it tonight. Is there some way I can put my deposit in anyway?" No. Of course not. I need to get through this system first. I swear, this school tries its damnedest to keep students from returning.

So I go back to my room, look up on the website I never go to on the page I never check to see my balance, and it says that I am in fact missing $947. So I go to pay by credit card, call up the mum, ask for the information. She gives it to me gladly, and says "call me back if anything doesn't work!" I log into the website, head to pay, click credit card:

...Are you serious? You take DISCOVER, but you don't take VISA??? Okay. Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Dimm club International, JCB, UnionPay, Bcard, and DINAcard, but you don't take F***ing VISA?

Ooooh I get it now. You're punishing me for something. I understand.

So I call my dear mother again and tell her they don't take the only kind of credit card she has, and now she has to drive out with a CHECK that I need to turn in tomorrow WITH my deposit. For the love of god, let that work.

Thank goodness my mom is awesome and I have one of the best boyfriends in the world (who let me be a teary eyed crazy mess on him till I was done) that I can get through today without crawling back into bed to die.

Lazy Sunday!

IT'S LIKE 50 DEGREES. Win. Went for a long walk with the boyfriend: it's about time I'm getting exercise...

So we drew the old lady again last Thursday. I still need to upload the one I did that was really fantastic for me. But this is the best one out of last class.

And this I drew after Art History where we're doing Roman art. I dunno, roman-ness. And I usually don't do nudity in my free works, but I feel like I'm getting better at it.

....A character design of a beaver inspired by the works of Peter de Seve: specifically Cid the Sloth. He has a blogspot blog at http://peterdeseve.blogspot.com/ . Hooray.

And lastly: a sociology doodle.

The last bit there says "munch munch munch". ....Pringles are evil.
