Happy Anniversary!

It's definitely been a while since I last posted... infact, I missed the whole month of December and the turn in to the new year. I had to post today, though, because its the official one year anniversary of this blog. Hurrah! Doesn't seem that long at all. But time's been flying.
I wish I had something new and exciting for my anniversary entry, but since I haven't been able to take pictures of what I've been working on in art class yet, you'll have to make do with an old piece that hasn't been posted yet.
I did this first semester junior year, so it was finished before I created this blog. It's craypa (ie: a cheap oil pastel imitation) which are a medium I have a love-hate relationship with. After completing this piece, the relationship was definitely in the "hate" end of the spectrum; I had some serious issues getting this to look right. The assignment required us to put the dreaded plant in a creative pot and setting, and this is what I came up with.
In other news, I'm working on a cool piece in art which again features a saxophone. I just started it, though, so it'll be a while before it's postable. Be excited for that, though!
Other than that, not much of note has been going on. I went down to the Outback bowl with my marching band, and we also hit up Disney and Busch Gardens, among other things, so that was fun. Otherwise, I've been amusing myself with cooking, thanks to the Julia Child cookbook I got for Christmas. Yesterday's experiment was chicken coq au vin, and it turned out pretty well.
That's all for now! My new years resolution is to post more, so be prepared.
