Well, I’m pretty much better now but the rest of my family has gotten sick in the meantime—and they’re all blaming me.

I did a little fixing up of the site. I added a new gallery for my design stuff. I think I may need to reorganize my categories because some things don’t really fit. If you browse the galleries you may see a few new thumbnails around, and a lit bit more organization.

I made two new banners:

I think that’s all the site stuff. . .

School is finally over and doesn’t start back til January 12th. I’m so glad. While I’m not going to get all A’s like I could have. I do believe I’ll have mostly A’s. I know I have an A’s in Figure Drawing and Intro to Graphic Gesign. I’m pretty sure I have an A in Typography. . . I might have an A in Spanish, but I kinda slacked off during the end so I’m probably down to a B. I’ll probably—hopefully—make a low B in Art History. So, If I make what I think my GPA will finally be above 3.5, which is cool.

Whoohooh! I’m gonna be a junior next semester!

Well, I didn’t go see Honey because I’ve gotten sick again all of a sudden. This time I’ve got a cough and fever and my body aches. Sounds pleasant, right? I took some aspirin to bring my fever down, as a result I was practically freezing. So now I’m sitting in front of my lovely space heater. . .::mmm. . .warm::.

Hopefully I’ll get over this soon. : /

But It’s not the end of the work. I’ve still got stuff to do. I’ve got one design project out of the way. I have to go to the computer lab to finish my typography final, then I’ve got an exam in that class on top of that. But it shouldn’t be that difficult since it’s basically going to be a compilation of all of our previous tests.

I still have to write two huge essays for art history. I’m glad that my professor threw in a 10 point bonus question. If I get all of those points and make an A on this final, then I can have an A for the course. But it’s probably not going to happen.

I’m supposed to go see Honey with my sister this evening. I’d rather wait til it comes to video and go see The Last Samurai instead, but I promised. I’ve resigned to try and see only action movies at the theater, because they look the best on the big screen, and i wanted to save the dramas for at home viewing. Oh well, there’s always the exception. I thin Honey is going to be at least decent. I know the plot not going to be oscar-worthy or anything, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be entertained for an hour and a half at least.

I’ve never drawn anything quite this ugly—at least on purpose anyway. But I’m glad it turned out pretty good on the first try. I think it helped that I watched a whole documentary on the making of Gollum’s character on the appendix DVD. The LOTR movie are so much better w/ the extended scenes. righteous. . . righteous. . .! Sorry, had a Finding Nemo flashback there. . .

Anyway. I had a fun weekend. I broke down and participated a little in the seemingly compulsary end-of-the-year bolster of the U.S. economy. But I got a really hot looking lawyer-esque suit out of the deal. It’s cool to have a fiancé who buys things for you because he thinks you look good in it. Actually, the suit is quite conservative, but it’s made really well, and I look all professional and mature. It’s a nice change of pace, since I turned 21 Sunday.

I don’t do birthday celebrations, but these last couple of years have been these stages leading up to legal adulthood:

18 – voting rights, no longer a minor
19 – can buy cigarettes (in Alabama)
20 – no longer a teenager, but not yet legal
21 – officially and adult, can legally drink away my sorrows

No wonder so many young people are depressed. . . I feel so old now.

The end of the semester is winding down. This is the last week. Next week is finals, but I only have to worry about two exams. Then there’s two design projects and one last take-home test for art history. ::sigh:: After that’s done I’ve got a month and a half to relax before the Spring Semester. Plus, I’ll attempt to get my comic underway, but don’t hold your breath on that. :P
