I’m Hearing: Deftones - Change (In the House of Flies)

I went home early yesterday and took a giant nap, like 5 hours or so. I would have slept longer, except I was meeting my painting prof over at the art building so we could take my painting down to the gallery (which we did.) Parts of it were still wet, so I found myself washing my hands quite a bit (first in paint thinner, to get the varnish off, then in water and soap to get the paint thinner off ^_^;;;;;) Not too healthy there. Also, this morning I noticed I have two small sore spots on my right thumb and forefinger at just about the point where the two would meet if I was holding an object between the two digits. Hmmm…could that possibly be from holding a paintbrush in the same damned way every day for three months? Nah. (There’s also a bit of indentation and slight discoloration in the shape/angle of a brush handle…now that is just weird.)

So I suppose you might be interested in seeing what my finished painting looks like, eh? I know people are really freaking tired of hearing me go on and on about this thing, but hey, it WAS my life for 3 months. So anyhow, without further ado….

Oi. I’m just aching all over right now. Tired, tired.

Looks like Fet’s back in Wisconsin again, which means I might get to hang out with him sometime soon. That would totally rock.

Man, there is just so much going on right now I’m already starting to lost track of things. I’ve finally gotten that painting out of the way, and now I have one–count it–ONE week to "relax and revitalize" over "break." hahaha, that is soooo….NOT funny. I would really love to have another month where I really could have a break from excessive amounts of work, like the "normal" people had over Christmas while I was either painting or thinking about painting. But, no. I will be working two jobs starting Monday, plus all the other stuff that’s going on…and then the following week school starts up again. =_=;; I’m just…sooooo exhausted, and nearing the point of burnout. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through my painting classes this semester…I mean, I do have some good ideas, but am I going to have the energy to execute them? I don’t know. I’d really like to get back into Tae Bo again, since I haven’t had the energy for that the last 3 months (imagine that…gee….working an 8 hour shift, then painting for 6-8 hours after that…it’s no wonder…) and it would be sweet to try to get into playing DDR (however I neither have the game nor the dance mat, so I’d have to make an investment, but I really have no money on tap since I’m not even going to have half of the money I need to pay tuition.)

And before I forget…just look at the picture of this dog. It makes me laugh every single time I see it! heeeeee.
