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

Thanks for the update! I was beginning to wonder if you needed blogger CPR!
Sounds like a fun semester; your description makes me wish I was still there!
Hahaha I quite often need blogger CPR. I get into these fits of "hey, let's update more often!" that last for like, a week. And then a month goes by, then two...lol.
