Stress Be Gone!
I am really glad to be done with ADP! I had to read our manifesto today, and that was kin of stressful, but now I feel relieved that it is over. Now the only thing that is stressing me out is my class schedule for next semester. The studio I wanted is already full and has a 8 person waitlist. I register tomorrow and I need to figure out an alternate class to take. Arrg...I wish I was a junior so I could get the classes I want!

A Load Off My Chest
I finally got my watercolor done! Horray! It has taken me so long, and I didn't expect it to turn out good, but I am actually very pleased with the way it looks. I had to do a series of four paintings. I picked ice cream as my theme. Not only did I paint the ice cream, but I incorporated collage in the background of the pieces. I used newspaper, tissue paper, and paper towel to give different effects and textures to my pieces. I was a little nervous about doing this, but I like how it turned out, and I think it will make my paintings unique. I just feel so relieved to finally have this big project completed.

Everything is Coming to a Close
It is kind of sad that everything is ending for the year. I just had my last CFC class, and I only have one more class left for most of the rest of my classes. Don't get me wrong: I am happy to be done, but it is starting to set in that I am about to leave Ann Arbor for 4 months. I also going to leave all of my friends and classmates, which will be really weird. I know it will hit me really hard a few days before I leave. Right now I just need to get through the last days of classes and final projects.

Yikes. Bikes.
Wow, I have been so busy this weekend that I have not had time to blog! I made Friday my fun day. I Had been working so hard all week that I needed a night to blow off some steam. My friends and I went to a foam party at Chi Psi. It was really fun because there were a lot of people there and there was also a live band. Saturday was a work day. I slept in and went to work at 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm. Then I showered, read a little bit for American Culture, and then went to the art school to work on my Festi-Fools puppet nd my watercolor project. Sunday was a happy day. I had to go to the art school at 1:30 to load our puppet in to the van. Then I grabbed some food and went to Main Street to put the puppet together. Festi-Fools started at 4:00 pm and lasted until 5:00 pm. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. All of the puppets turned out really cool. After the parade I then went tanning with Anna. Then we got Panchero's and Stucci's ice cream because it was so nice out. It made me really happy. Then I went to Stockwell to hang out with my friends for awhile before coming back to North Campus. I worked a little on my watercolor project last night before watching TV online and going to sleep. It was a good, but very busy weekend.

The Weekend Is Almost Here!
This week is the slowest week of my life. I feel like it should be Sunday by now. I am glad it is Thursday, and I can see the weekend in sight! However, even thought there will be some time for fun this weekend, I do have to do a lot of work. I worked n my watercolor for about 3 hours yesterday, but I need to do a lot more this weekend because it is due on Wednesday. Also, the Festi-Fools parade is this Sunday, so that will take up lot of my time. I just hope I can motivate myself to do work this weekend so I am not overwhelmed with work next week. Ugh, I am stressing already!

Sleep is Gooood
I didn't go to my American Culture lecture this morning because I needed to sleep. I actually just woke up. I am so happy with my decision to do that. I needed to catch up on my sleep so badly. I also feel like a little bit of my stress has gone away just from being able to sleep in. I decided that I am going to stay after tonight after watercolor and force myself to finish one of m pieces. It is the only way I can work without getting distracted. Hopefully it won't take me an extremely long time and hopefully it turns out alright. I want to be able to get some sleep tonight.

April Fool's Day
I can't believe it is already April. Ahh...but I don't even have time to think of April Fool's jokes because the ADP puppet is taking over my life! Last night I worked on it for 3 hours and today I worked on it for 2. I am getting so stressed about everything. I need to do 4 watercolor paintings for next wednesday and I haven't even started! Also I am stressing about my schedule for next semester. I am finding it extremely hard to find an elective to fit my schedule. I am so stressed that I am getting knots in my shoulders and back. I am in drastic need of a massage, but I doubt I could even relax and enjoy it.
