Oh How I Love Fall Weather

It is perfect outside, today!

It should be like this year round...for real though!

It makes me happy :)

Here's to the End of my LAST First Week...

Is it sad that I've been in school for a week now and the only homework I've had was to draw a still life picture?  

Absolutely not!

Oh how I love being a last semester Senior :)

Don't get me wrong, I have a tough semester ahead (including 17 hours PLUS Sr. Sem.) but I'm not worried--I've figured out that I wing-it pretty dang well!

Before the end of the semester I have to:

1. Complete a ton of sketches and get them critiqued

2.  Complete a dozen case studies

3.  Write two large papers and give presentations

4. Write one 20 page paper and give an oral presentation

5.  Take a dozen tests

and 

6. Take time to enjoy my LAST semester as an under-grad :)

I was worried that my hardest class would be Drawing 1, but I actually love it! 

As for my other classes...

I skip the readings and just show up for class, 

BS my assignments, 

and wing-it on the tests...

who needs textbooks?? 

BTW, I have a few leads on big-girl jobs--I already have 3 interviews set up for December :)

Things are falling into place and life is good!

Until next time,

What Is This World Coming To?

I just saw on the news that they were trying to make it illegal for panhandlers to stand on the side of the road with their signs.  

They interviewed people, saying "they inconvenience me."  Well guess which people they interviewed?? Upper class, snobby rich people, wearing pearls! Who would have thought that rich people would be "inconvenienced" by seeing a poor person....

I don't understand why they're trying to make this illegal.  Don't get me wrong, I don't approve of people living off the government, but some people are sometimes just genuinely down on their luck and need help from their fellow Americans.  

I'd much rather see panhandlers on the road (and help them), than see those commercials for mistreated animals, or relief efforts in Haiti.  

We need to fix the problems in America, before we can fix the problems in the world.

Ugh, I'm annoyed.

Until next time,
