Empty Promises/Nude Creations

I always write about projects that I've started on the blog and then promise to show you. Then they turn out terribly and I'm so embarrassed I never show you. Last time I said I was working on some graffiti inspired art. Well here it is in all it's glory. It turned out to look like really bad '80s contemporary art not even worthy of hanging in my dentist office. (Sigh, c'est la vie)


Today I went to the library and I decided to take one of my creations on a walk along the way. It is finally warm enough to wear the clothing that I've made over the cold spring. It stretched a little as I continued my day, but other than that it was great. I got 2 compliments, which is always nice.

I always feel like I'm not wearing anything, when I wear something I've made. It's as if anything that I've created can't be any better than a sheet or towel wrapped around you and people are probably thinking that I'm just wearing a bunch of fabric draped over myself. So I basically felt naked while at the library.



(So my parents are planning on putting the house up for sale and my boyfriend knew about it before I did, and I live there! (sometimes) grrrrrr)

inspiration + Lois Lowry+love

I'm working on some SheOne inspired art right now. I'm also listening to this. I just finished listening to Messenger by Lois Lowry on my ipod. I'll level with you, Messenger was awesome. I loved it. It is a book that contains some of the main characters from The Giver by Lois Lowry. The Giver is the book that inspired me to read. From what I've heard of Gathering Blue, it's not as good. If anyone wants to know what I end up thinking about it you can add me on goodreads.com and see my rating.

I'll post something about how my artwork ends up, if it is okay looking.

I'm also cooking a quiche right now. I LOVE summer! I have time to do the things I want to do! FINALLY

summer....deal.

Finals are over and I have a small feeling of closure. Closure is what I was really craving. I'm happy and I think I can handle the two and half months of more schooling.

Right now I am filled with Lambert's rolls and laying in the sun with my sister and bff. Life is good, family is good, friends are good. God gave me enough optimism today to last me until August.

Alllll right.

Finals

I am in the midst of finals right now. I have to tell you, I'm not excited about it. Finals used to be my favorite two weeks of the year.

What's not to love about finals? You don't have to sit through a week of classes, you only have to take one test per class. Being that I'm not a choker, I usually do fairly well with tests and don't mind them. Campus is usually buzzing with flowers and excitement. I would be packing my things to enjoy a whole summer at home filled with picnics, a bf, a bff, movies, lightning bugs, the Muny at Forest park, the zoo, and work. So during finals I usually just relax take a couple of tests and am done by Wednesday. Then my parents come and move me home.

Well, I'll tell you what's not to love about finals this year. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. No summer in St. Louis. I start my summer classes on Monday and I don't finish until August 1st. It doesn't even feel like finals right now. It feels like midterms and there is nothing good about midterms.

I know I need to be more optimistic than I'm being. Summer at school could be really great. I hear they have concerts in the park. I live across the street from that park, how lucky am I? The pool is across the street in that park as well. For the last two summers I've never been tan because I've had a 8-5 job. This year I'm already more tan than I have been for the last two summers. It could be good, it will be good.

I'm just going to feel a little bit sorry for myself until after my two finals tomorrow are over and then I'll be happy that it is summer. It will just be a different kind of summer.
