just a short little update
Since I know at least a few people read me now, (love you guys!), I just wanted to take the time to point out/remind everyone of my little Twitter space to the right, just underneath my profile info.
Twitter is an awesome place, and it provides more up-to-the-minute little mini-updates for when I, as Catherine put it, need blogger CPR. xD So when I forget to actually update my blog, please still stop by my site and take a look at the top right there for updates. Those of you who don't already have your own Twitter account should definitely sign up for one and add it to your blog as well. Do it! It's seriously really fun and really cool. And it's free! You can even set it up to send updates from your mobile phone, in case you have something extra epic you want to post, but you're away from computer access and may forget to talk about it later.
Wow. They should totally pay me for that commercial. :D
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and everything else I've missed...
Wow. So either my concept of time really sucks, or I just plain got busy after the Thanksgiving holiday and totally forgot I was going to update my blog more regularly. ^^;
Anyway so there really hasn't been much excitement in my life of late. Still in school (sigh) but this time, for sure, I only have this semester and possibly a summer semester to get through. I really need to talk to this lady in the Snow music building and ask her to help me put together SOMETHING to graduate. I don't care what major I end up with at this point, (though it will surely be art one way or the other, lol), I just want to be done.
I'm taking an art history class (the art of Egypt/Near East), a watercolor class, advanced book arts, and photography. Something noteworthy about my classes is that they've started to sort of combine the lower levels with the higher levels. I'm a beginning watercolor painter but there are watercolor II students in with us, and the same goes for book arts. I'm an advanced student, along with a couple others, but the rest of the class are beginners. I've also heard they're doing that in other art classes as well, and I actually think it's a cool concept. Instead of having TA's, the "older" students can help the "younger" students. It's certainly a help to see the advanced watercolor students' work and get their advice, and I feel, well, important (and helpful) with all the younger students coming to me with questions and asking for advice on what materials to use for their books.
The only other really interesting thing that happened recently took place back home in California. About a week, week and a half ago, I was chatting with my mom and she said something about my 22-year-old brother finally moving out. I was shocked! Not only did he have an apartment, he was already actually moving into it. I won't go into details as to why this is so significant to spare embarassment on his part. (Plus, he reads my blog. Heh.) It was just really exciting and I'm proud of him. :) Kinda puts the pressure on the almost-24-year-old older sister to follow suit pretty soon... xD
