It is required. Friend of mine trying prisma colored pencils seriously for one of the first few times.




Secondly:

My summer "vacation". After this week, I move back home from my college dorm room here at Edinboro University. I love my family. And yes, I will love to be spending the summer with them. I will admit, my parents looking over my shoulder is a bit difficult to get used to again, but my mom, my sister and I are two of my best friends. My siblings and I have only fought a handful of times when we were little. My parents and I have never fought, and despite that, they REMAIN parents who are willing to give so long as we are willing to do the same.

Like I said, I like being home.

....But then there's the dial-up.


Evil, evil dial-up.....



We live in the middle of nowhere, we own 60 acres, have a small hobby farm, and our nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away.

The cable companies do not love us enough to come visit our quaint little home. ::


Therefore, I may not be responding much over the summer. I have a couple painting commissions from family and friends of the family, but otherwise I will be working my ass off at a local resturant. Most likely as a salad chef again . A waitress if I'm lucky.

But there won't be much time for posts or more than a few comments. Right now finals week has me strung out, I just got over taking my Praxis II exam (for those of you who don't know. A test much like the SAT's here in the U.S., except specifically designed to test a prospective teacher's qualification to...well....teach. If we don't pass, we don't teach. As an incoming art education major, I had to take a general knowledge hodge-podge of literature, math, science, and social studies for 2 hrs, as well as an art history and application section that ALSO lasted for 2 hrs) ......and frankly I'm burnt.

I'll get back here as often as I can, promise.
