I'm out of school. For the summer at least. The stress was driving me insane. Insaner. I don't think I'm cut out for school, it can't be normal to experience the stress levels I had been dealing with. I got on anti-anxiety medication after the stress began to affect my grades, but even that didn't help much. I ended up doing okay, three As and a B, just like last semester. Going to take ceramics again next semester, and painting. Don't know what I want to do, I don't have any sort of plan. Ha.
I'm just happy that I will have more time to do stuff in the next couple months. Working on drawings and shit. I'm going to the art museum next Wednesday, I haven't been in a while. I don't like taking the bus downtown, it's always packed with trashy people. Loud and vulgar and disgusting people. And it is supposed to be 103 F Wednesday, which makes waiting at bus stops miserable, but I'm going. Because I haven't been in a while and I really want to go. I love, "You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies," it's a smallish room with mirrored walls, completely dark except for lots and lots of tiny hanging lights. I think it is my favorite exhibit at the museum, although I also really love the collection of Thorne Miniature Rooms, and they have my favorite painting by Frida Kahlo, "The Suicide of Dorothy Hale." So I am looking forward to going, despite the bus ride and the heat.

I have a few pictures to post, but have to get my scanner out. I'm going to try to draw a lot in the time I have out of school and have made a decent start on that. I did a lot of drawing for my life drawing class, but it wasn't creative stuff. Although the final homework assignment was a self portrait, so I did a nude portrait of myself as a meat chart. I don't know how to post a picture of it, as it is way too big to fit in my scanner. I can try taking a digital photo if I can get my digital camera back from my mother. She's been borrowing it for a loooong time, and I keep wanting to use it and can't seem to get it back. I WANT TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY CATS AND POST THEM ON FACEBOOK, DAMN IT.

Also, since I don't have a paid account here (just as well, as infrequently as I've been on here recently), I can't post polls. So, just answer in a comment if you read this. How many Black-capped Chickadees do you think I could cram into my mouth? I think it could be quite a few, since once their feathers are wet and smooshed down a bit they are quite small... I don't think they weight more than half an ounce each. I imagine that if I dipped them in tea first, I could easily fit four to six. I don't know... a lot would depend on how cooperative they were.
