This week couldn’t get here fast enough for me. Mid-terms were really ruff. I had to mail my paintings in to my teacher in San Francisco and pay to have them returned to me. $70.00 later, wishing I didn’t have such commitment issues with my paintings and could just send them to SF and not want them back. In Art History… a class I loved last semester, not so in love with this semester. I read the study guide wrong. I only studied the main 8 pieces of art and reviewed everything else loosely. When I got to the test I was shocked to find that only two of the pieces I had fervently study were on the essay portion. Faced with two additional pieces of art that I barely knew I freaked out. I did my best, which wasn’t very good. I knew next to nothing about the one painting. My grade is gonna be interesting to learn. I was completely bummed out the whole day and some the next day too. It’s moments like those that frustrate me because I don’t drink. I really could’ve used something to take the edge off. But I survived and it’s not the end of the world. The pint of chocolate ice cream helped. The other classes didn’t have much of a mid-term, mostly just reviewing.
After all that the break has been pretty great. I’ve tried to lay low and not spend any cash. I had some gift cards and a half off coupon at NY&Co. A little retail therapy can go a long way. Bought a few new paintbrushes too. That makes me very happy.
I’m going to get a new tattoo also! It’s a little outline of a butterfly on my ankle. I decided not to go for one of the big expensive ones that I’ve been wanting and keep it simple and cheap. I decided I needed/deserved the reward since I canceled the Boston St. Patrick’s Day trip.
Well, I’m back to writing my short story and painting. Just because it’s Spring Break doesn’t mean I don’t have homework, gotta love it.
