I do watercolors...

One of my classes this semester is a water based media class. IT'S FLIPPIN' AWESOME! I get to paint lots of perty pictures. I'm doing Batman soon. And a close up of Bailey's, about as close to Bailey's you can get without getting your nose wet. So far I've done pretty flowers :) Yayy flowers!

So this week has been pretty fun. Last week I went on my first college speech and debate trip to Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy. It was a blast! I did horrible at the meet and saw a few friends that I haven't seen in a while. (I won one debate round though!) Our team won sweepstakes for debate (big deal!) and a few of my team mates took home trophies as well.

I got to see my buddy Shauna while I was there. We had pie :)

I attempted to fix my iPod screen but resigned to letting my friend help me because now my screen won't work...

I'm brunette again!

I'll post pictures of my water colors as soon as I get them scanned :)

P.S. I have an etsy page now to sell my art if any of you are interested. I'll do copies of whatever is posted on there and special orders if you pm me about it :)

Tootle loo!

Wonderful Wednesday #2

Good evening fellow humans! So... I was chilling in my dorm and I realized I hadn't posted in awhile. Not only that, but I haven't done a W.W. in a VERY long time. So, on a whim, I decided to post one. And here... we... Go!

1. My best-friend/roommate got back into town.

She was gone last week for family things and she got home on Sunday and I'm glad she's back! I'm not all lonely in my dorm anymore. 

2. I made new friends!

Friends are a magical thing and I made a couple more of them over the weekend and strengthened a few others. I feel super awesome and loved :) 

3. I did some artwork.
This was on over-nighter picture I drew whilst hanging with my buddy Alex. He played W.O.W. and I drew this and got rid of a lot of bottled emotions.

4. I got bangs!

They are short and sassy like they used to be! Though with my perm they look a little funky at times... Oh well, I have spunk again! (p.s. I had pink in my hair too that I added a few weeks ago.)

5. I joined the speech and debate team... 

... and I'm learning how to debate! I'm still super novice at it but at least I'm not crying when I stand up to talk. That's a plus right?

6. I got a bruised nose in my self defense class.

We are learning to take/give punches (though the taking I'm usually holding a bag) and I felt like a boss because I had just thrown a girl to the ground. Her head bounced up and hit me but it's whatever. I still threw her on the ground! I feel like a BAMF.

7. My mommy bought me supplies for my watercolor class.

She just lost everything but she wanted to support me and bought me my paints, brushes and a couple of other supplies even though she can't afford it. She's awesome!

8. I got to talk to my family on Sunday. 

That's the thing we do (with my daddy and step-mom.) I call on Sunday and update them on what's going on and likewise with them. They are awesome so I can't complain too much :)

9. I got a work study position!

Yay monies! I sadly wasn't able to decorate cakes anymore (carpel tunnel) and so I'm currently looking for a job. This helps me along at least. Thanks Jessica!!!!

10. I joined a softball team.

Yep. I did. I went there. I can bat.... Sort of... And there is no hope of me throwing the ball. BUT I'M IN A SPORT!! That's certainly a massive improvement to my situation beforehand. :D

I hope all of you could find something wonderful about your past week! Remember, counting your blessings makes your challenges so much easier to bear. 

Huzzah!
