While I'm thinking of it!

I decided I need to post again while I'm thinking of it. Nothing too exciting happening, but I'll mention the highlights... I got into UNC, which is cool because they only accepted 16% of out-of-staters that applied early action. I got a speeding ticket, which I've had coming for a while. I won the second annual Cupcake Cookoff, held on President's Day, which makes me the champion for two years running. Next year it won't be held on President's Day, unfortunately, because we'll be off at our respective colleges, but we'll find a way to still make it awesome. What else... oh, I'm going to turnabout with a cool guy from my church, which'll be fun. And no, I'm not making my dress for this dance, but I got a pretty nice one.

Art wise, I won an Honorable Mention at the Scholastic art show, which is pretty cool. I got it for my creepy doll drawing (which I don't have a photo of, but I'll put it up here when my teacher reliquishes it from her clutches) which leads me to believe that art judges are a little sick in the head. But anyway, I'm flattered I won something. Other than that, I've started a bunch of projects for art class... but my teacher is making me work on the two that I hate most, which is typical of her. One of them is that saxophone i

n the city one that I thought would turn out awesome but has turned into the bane of my existance. The other one is supposed to be an abstract piece, so it's already in a style I hate. So I just drew whatever came to my mind first, and ended up with a quasi-pokemon theme...which is entertaining even if it looks like utter crap. She keeps saying how creative it is, and I have to bite my tongue to avoid saying "Too bad the japanese thought of it first..."

The other two things I have going on in art class are much more my style, one of them is a colored pencil of ocean fish, and the other is a neat, middle eastern composition, complete with flying carpet. Think Aladin. I can't wait to finish those so I can put them up here.

For now, though, I'll have to put up something I already have a photo of. This is a drawing I did from one of my friend's photos. He's studying in Italy, so he got all sorts of cool pictures of architecture I like. This one was plain enough that I could draw it without going insane with detail, and I rather like it's simplicity.

That's all for now. Hopefully some more excitment will drag me through the month of March, which is all that stands between me and finding out what my future will look like (ie: college decisions)

Until then, ciao.
