Salt of the Earth

I have a paper cut…. I hate paper cuts. I am the BIGGEST baby when it comes to paper cuts. I got it today in my drawing class when I was flipping paper over my drawing board. It’s across my knuckle on my thumb so every time i bend my thumb it hurts so much….. if crying would make it feel better I’d do it. I’d even throw myself down on the ground and kick my feet if I knew it would make me feel better… It’s so tiny but it hurts SO very much. oh i hate paper cuts…….

Printmaking was absolutely wonderful today. I laughed the entire time. I love those people in there- they are so much fun. I am hoping to print tomorrow but am not sure if I will be able to get into the studio. It’s important that I do….. I need to get my rhino done. I’m a little stressed about it.

Today was also my last drawing class -for this term. We had my favorite model. I was very pleased with my drawings. They were by far, the best that I’ve done since my midterm portfolio. I have been drawing with my left hard the last two classes. It’s a technique that my teacher believes in. Seems to be working.

Spring break starts next week. The boys have almost 2 full weeks off. I’m excited and looking forward to just chillin at home. We have talked about going to the beach for the weekend. I’m trying to decide which would be more relaxing. I don’t ever sleep when I am at a hotel BUT I’m also not consumed with doing housework and all that. I’ll decide after the weekend- after I’m done with finals.

I dreamt of fish last night. Spooky fish in a tank. The kind that scare me and I dislike greatly. One of the fish was eating the other ones whole- then it would throw them up and swim away. I woke myself up by saying out loud “that’s disgusting.- stupid fish”

Along the Way There’s this guy in my art class. He has a hispanic name which is very hard to pronounce and I always forget how to say it. His last name starts with a Y but you pronounce it was a hard J. So I call him Jack. Now everyone in the class calls him Jack- even the teacher-it’s pretty funny. He’s been very quiet until the last few classes. Now he chatters and laughs with us and he’s a really nice guy. He’s a Marine but doesn’t really act like one- other than the occasional ‘yes sir”. He served in Bagdad for awhile but wants to be a cop and a DJ. He blushes SO easily- especially right before he laughs. He’s probably 22 or around there but there is something very child like about him. Not maturity wise- but more like innocence. He talks very quietly but says funny things when you can hear him. He was asking me what we had to do in Life Drawing because he was thinking about taking the class. I told him that new students had to pose nude for the first 3 classes. (ha ha) After he realized I was kidding he blushed, shook his head, blushed again and then laughed. He’s taking the class again next term. He’s a good guy.
