This last month of school is killing me, and fast. I understand assigning one more project before the semester is over...but TWO for one class? that's a little ridiculous. I haven't been able to blog because I've been so swamped with assignments and any free time I get I just flop onto the couch and rest. I don't think people understand how challenging studying art can be. It's tough mentally and physically. My brain has been gettin the workout of it's life this semester and sometimes I think I enjoy it. However, I met with my advisor and she suggests I do 3 studio classes. I think doing that would be much wiser..but if for some reason I NEED to take 5 studio classes I know I can do it.
Last week I went home and spent Halloween with the fam
ily. We celebrated mom's birthday on Halloween night so I didn't trick or treat, pass out candy...even worse...DRESS UP! I was planning on dressing up as mother nature using my costume I made for class.
for my 3D class we had to merge two things together (hero and an artist). My hero was mother nature and my artist was Guillermo del Toro. I chose his character "The Faun" from pan's labyrinth.
If you haven't seen that movie, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's in spanish so get ready for some subtitle reading.
But in all of my excitement to go home, I forgot my costume in Savannah. I remembered to bring the head though. So I was costume-less for Halloween, which sucked :(
since i've been back I've been turning in assignments, took a test, and getting more assignments. It's been rough. But in all of the stress, I decided to take some time this weekend to cook and relax. Thursday evening I made blueberry/blackberry cobbler.
I got the recipe from pioneerwoman. It tasted pretty good, but I think it would have been better with fresh berries. Tonight I made pork chops and mashed potatos.
Mom, I know you're proud.
