I keep forgetting to take photos of the things I’m working on in drawing class. Today I made a space parsnip. I think it’s pretty cool and I’ll show it to you Thursday. We are working on texture in pastels and are focusing on very small parts of fruits and vegetables. I choose a parsnip because I’m wild about purple, creams, and subtle greens.
I’m trying to not be so goddamned morose. Tired of being such a whiner. Do people really want to hear it? Am I gonna get some kind of goddamned reward for being so rough on myself?
Let’s look at all the positive things in my life, shall we? Yes, my back hurts, but I have some drugs and I’m going to see my chiropractor tomorrow, she will fix me right up. I have until the 28th to get 8 chapters done. I will hopefully have one tonight and another one by the end of the week. That’s not bad. I can bump it up a notch next week and get three done, and another three in the following week. Heck, I could maybe even get ahead of schedule. I had three tests last week and I still managed to get my deadline done, I got two As and a B, I got some extra credit done this week to help raise the B to an A. My drawing teacher today said we were all earning As. My boyfriend loves me and is making me pasta tonight. All the hard work plus staying off the juice is helping me loose a couple pounds. Sure, I’ll still be broke for several months after I finish the book but there seems to be plenty of quick work out there to help me while I wait for the royalty checks. And they may help pay for Art School. And holy moly, I may be going to art school in less than a year! That is something that still seems impossibly out of reach. Maybe it’s not so far away now. Makes all the back pain and late nights seem worth it.
