Disappointing Blizzard

Argh. The blizzard has let me down. I really wanted it to be bad enough that classes were canceled tomorrow and I wouldn't have to take my ethnobotany test. I don't think it will be closed. Oh well. Maybe it is better. It will get it out of the way for the rest of the weekend, which is going to be packed with homework anyway. Grr.

Sunday

Usually Sundays stress me out. They come too fast, and I can never enjoy them because all day long I just keep thinking "tomorrow is monday, monday means school, school means due dates, due dates means that I have to actually have my homework finished. homework being finished means that I needed to have started two weeks ago when it was assigned, and not tonight. damn it." BUT Today has been good. I slept in, checked EPL scores (Liverpool won 2-0 to Chelsea! Torres scored both goals, which is awesome because he was getting a lot of critisism for not "being on form" or "not focused" or whatever), ALSO, someone on Polyvore, who is from Serbia, liked some of my sets! I went on a walk in the back pasture, with the cats following me, and kicked around my soccer ball (I have been really missing soccer a lot, lately. I am mad and kind of resentful that I ever had to quit. Ignore this angsty part, though, because this post is about the GOOD day I had) I went to dinner with my mom to Rooster's and got Margarita pizza and bread pudding, (mmm!) worked on my art project (thanks to my uncle, Mike) and I finally finished my two reports. Ahh, since when did not sleeping til two and then sitting on the computer all day feel so good? Oh? always? Whoops. I ought to try it more often.

Here is the next phase of my Zapata project. It need a bit more red, but the process is actually a lot more complicated/frustrating than it might seem, so that will have to wait.

edit: I just barely tried with making the hair and moustache red, what do you guys think? In one way, I like that it has more red. (I like red white and green, because they are the colors of the Mexican flag), but at the same time, with JUST red and green, it sort of seems Christmas-y. Opinions?

Emilano Zapata

This is my art assignment. It is only one of multiple portraits we have to do. Next, I need to add a color, then the next assignment is to add two additional colors, and then to add a pattern. I'll update with those, when I finish them. if I finish them.

Motivation.

Recently my motivation/focus on school has reached an all time low. It is beginning to become ridiculous. Sometimes I wonder if I have ADD, and then realize that I can focus plenty on what I WANT to focus on. I just can't tear myself away from the computer. The problem is that some of my classes require the internet, but once I get on, I go on auto-pilot and can't tear myself away from the multiple distractions of my actual interests. Ugh. I need to get it together. But in the meantime, I think I'll just have another bowl of cereal, post this, and then probably go to bed at 3 in the morning, after doing zero homework and getting carpal tunnel and ever worse posture than I already have.
