I joined deviantart to post all of my pictures from now on. I have quite a bit to upload, but it's okay. I even got a really nice comment on one of my comics. :) I have a lot of new art projects planned out to keep me busy this summer when I'm not working.

Yay! School is OVER!
PREPARE YE SELVES! LONG POST IS ALMOST AS LONG AS LONG CAT!
I have never been more relieved to have school over with. It was brutal this semester. I feel like a part of me died...
The last two weeks were the absolute worst part. I had projects piling up like crazy! Attention all teachers! Instead of waiting until the end of the semester when every other teacher is giving out major project, assign them at the BEGINNING of the school year! Your students will do better and be less stressed out! >:O
I had one group project that I had no idea what to do. Here are the word for word requirements and see if you can tell me what to do;
1. It needs to be at least 15 minutes long.
2. Use anything we've read over the semester.
...
Um. Okay. Thanks...
Long story short, Ben come up with the idea of relating William Blake to Buddhism and other religions. I have no idea how he did it, but he did. His part of our presentation was the best. (Sorry Ben, but to be honest none of us had much confidence. You sure showed us!) We all passed with a 'B' which is surprising considering we literally researched and put together the entire presentation the night before it was due. We were so busy with our other projects it had to be done that way.
For my part I had researched Swedenborgism. A man called Swedenborg kept popping up in Blake's writing so I decided to find out about it. At first I was like "Man! There's isn't going to be anything on this guy and his church." Lo' and behold there's an official website of Swedenborgism! Who knew! (Aside from Swedenborgist themselves.) That provide all the information necessary for me to make my part and then segue into Ben's Buddhism.
For biology, groups had to put together a video and it seemed like everything was against our group. The camera we checked out from library was MAC only compatible and then the schools MACs wouldn't let us save what we worked on. So we tried to import all the video we had onto a flash stick, but MAC said no. Wow. The schools computers are mean! Then our schedules we're so different, but we managed finally to meet up and get it done. Our video was about caffeine. (Believe it or not that wasn't my idea. Lol!)
Then I ended up helping Melanie and her group with their project. When she called all they wanted to do was to come over so I could show them how to put music over the video. Turns out they had all their stuff, but didn't have any of it laid out or put together. I ended up helping them with the whole thing because I was due the next day. They even had to redo some parts. It was tough! But it looked pretty good in the end. Dejana even gave a thank you gift! She's so sweet!
I love clocks! Her gift was perfectly timed too. My old clock just died.
...
I just realized I made a really lame pun...
The last major project I had to do was making a video for my poems. It was easy enough, but I decided to draw them all out. It took forever! It didn't matter though. That was the most fun I've ever had doing a project. I even posted my favorite video to the blog.
Aw! Lavender looks so cute! That's my little cuckoolander! (Psst! The cake is a lie!)
My project partners did really well on theirs too. I even got to voice act for a skit someone had written! he said he need someone to play the blond bimbo and I had the voice for it.
...
Hey! Wait a minute! >:O
But I don't really mind. I thought it was hilarious. So I felt inspired to also draw the character I had to play. The picture turned out nicely. (If you can't tell, she's walking away and turning her head. If you couldn't tell- blame it on poor art skills...)
She's called Layla. You know, playing as the antagonist was fun.
Last on my list of things to talk about is that I got new glasses, but I really don't care for them. The style is just not my style. Personally, I love thin wire frames with ovals. I don't like thick, plastic, square frames. It might be the popular fashion right now, (I say that confidently because ever girl I see is wearing them) but it looks like they came straight out of the 80s. Enough! Can we just let that era die already?! Fortunately, they aren't nearly as dramatic and considering all the other frames to choose from these were the best. The square is rounded so it suits my face a bit better.
