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!

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.

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.

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.

These are all the things I need to complete:

1. Reading for AMCULT (due 4/9)
2. Study for AMCULT exam (Exam on 4/22)
3. Finish puppet for ADP (Festi-Fool Parade on 4/6)
4. Write Manifesto for ADP (due 4/10)
5. Four paintings for Watercolor (due 4/9)
6. Sidewalk Chalk in Diag (4/10)
7. Flyer distribution in Bursley (4/10)
8. Personnel Project for CFC (due April 16th)

I don't think I am going to get all of this done in time!

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!

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.

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.

Today is the last day of March! Ahh..I can't believe it. Two more weeks of school! I honestly can't handle it. I am so incredibly busy right now with all my finals projects and the stupid puppet thing for ADP...I don't have time for it all!
Time for some watching of the Hills and then sleep.
OK...The End.

The time has come again for another complaint about my lovely room mate. She is so incredibly rude. I was sleeping, and apparently she thought it would be a good time to vacuum. Nice. So she woke me up, and as soon as I sat up she stopped. Cool. Then about 20 minutes later, right as I was drifting back to sleep she slammed the door. And it was definitely on purpose. Awesome. Then, her family came to pick her up and she brought them to the room-the WHOLE family. Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother. All in our room. While I was sleeping. The first thing her Mom did was say "shh", and then I hear my room mate say "No, Mom, I really don't care." Honestly? Come on now. That's just disrespectful. Then her brother says, "Wow. You gus need to vacuum," and my roomie responds, "Well I was going to vacuum, but SHE was sleeping." I was so angry. I honestly thought about getting out of bed and punching her in the face. But I managed to restrain myself and be the bigger person. But I am still angry. Okay, rant complete. I feel a little better now. Thanks for reading.

Yesterday I was sooo sick. I could not even get out of bed. The only time i did venture from my bed was to throw up. Ew, gross I know. I slept for like 14 hour and then actually went to sleep early last night. But today I feel sooo much better. I am about to go to work, which I would not think possible yesterday. I am so glad that I am better today :-)

I have lots of stuff to do today before lecture. I need to go tanning, deposit my taxes check, buy a big paintbrush for watercolor, and get some food from Noodles and Company. Actually I don't NEED to do any of this, but I would really like to get that stuff done. Hopefully I can. But we have that opening of the Penny Stamps Auditorium. Hmm...maybe I can skip out.
teeheee...

So I was very excited to hear that I would have no lecture or discussion for AMCULT today. We received e-mails telling us that they were both cancelled because of the GEO strike. Well, I didn't fall asleep until 6:00 am last night and I didn't wake up until 4:00 pm. I just went to check my e-mail and I had one from my professor and one from my GSI. They sent them out telling us that we had both lecture and discussion today. But I missed both of them. I am very worried because that is the second discussion I missed in a row! I hope it doesn't hurt my grade at all! It is so frustrating!

Today was a very boring, uneventful day. In ADp we started making our puppets for the festi-fool parade. Our group is making a puppet talking about the fast pace of our society. After ADP, I went to lunch in the cafeteria, and it was pretty good. I had a chicken caesar wrap and some french fries. Then I went to CFC and we talked to Maureen Connor about our projects. In our projects we must interview a staff member of the art school and do something to improve their working conditions. Today was an easy day. Now I need to read for American Culture and then go to work at 10:00.

Wow. I am basically the biggest pile in the world. I honestly cannot get myself motivate to go my American Culture lecture ever on Mondays. And I can't even use the excuse that the class is early because it isn't: its at 11 am. And it is only an hour long. On the weekends I always screw up my sleep schedule so when Sunday night rolls around I can't sleep. Then when my alarm goes off on Monday morning I don't want to get up because I didn't fall asleep until 4 in the morning the night before. I need to stop being s lazy! I only have like 4 weeks to get through and then I will be done. Grrrr...
