I really want to go to Law Day today and speak with the lawyers about becoming a law student but I'm sick, and I'm thinking that maybe I'm just interested because of Phoenix Wright.
But it never hurts to be curious! And maybe it really IS something I'm interested, although I doubt it. Nevertheless, I feel terrible, so I'm pretty much just spending the day taking care of myself.
I'm sorry for everyone that I'm practically ignoring... (What a good friend I am, right?) It's not because I hate any of you, I've just been super busy and extremely stressed out.
Basically, I have this art teacher who's from hell!! My normal day with her goes like this. The parenthesis are my thoughts!:
"Sam, can you show me your work?"
"Um, uh, yeah. *lays it out* Sure. Here."
"Mmm."
"...?"
"This is a good...start."
"Start? (But I spent 8 hours last night finishing it!)"
"Here's what's wrong. (Cue dropping a 3 foot list.)
Your use of line is a little sketchy, your shading isn't complete, you-" -- This goes on for a good 20 minutes while I stand there listening to how badly I've done.
"Um, thanks...I'll...work on that."
"Devon! -This is another girl in my class- Can you tell me why Sam's artwork isn't successful?"
"Of course. Although she has SOME skill with line, her shading is........
okay at best and-" --Another 20 minutes of self-esteem crushing ACTION!--
"Now do you understand, Sam?"
"Um...yeah...thanks."
And then! As if she hadn't successfully crushed my spirits enough, she goes to everyone else's picture and compares them to mine in a: "This is good, unlike this one." kind of way. And I have to wake up at 7:30 to walk in -8 degree weather for this class!
So, I'm so sorry I haven't been around. My life's been hectic so I've been avoiding my phone, IM, email, LJ, GJ, and everything else that connects me with other people. Sorry again.
