Here we are.
Summer has brought me heavy heat, high gas prices and two jobs. I hate working, for the most part, and it leaves me with very little free time. Money (or lack thereof) has remained a constant stressor, and I'm afraid to buy anything other than the necessities. Not that summer's all bad, though; time I have outside of work lets me enjoy semi-successful endeavors such as vegetarian cooking and learning to play tennis! I've also gotten time in to read a few books and to spend time with the folks I love.
Point is--I'm ready to go back to school. I'm ready to work less and to study more. I want to start my new classes! There are also a lot of people I want to see that I haven't spent time with alllll summer.

Onward, then:
Yesterday I got all of my living situation business done by securing an apartment in Conway for this school-year. Hurrah, hooray, College View. The apartment is small (huh, let's go with "cozy"), but it'll definitely work. Plus, I'll be rooming with a lovely lady of Hendrix College named CC. However,while both of us are fine and dandy people, we are also furniture-less people. Hopefully yard sales and Goodwill will rid us of that problem. Please feel free to share ideas if you know of any good places to find furniture in Conway.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note: Sprouting a wisdom tooth is incredibly painful! I recommend avoiding it at all costs.

There are things that need to be done, problems that need to be resolved but, really, I'd rather just close my eyes.

I am just so tired.

Summer is hot.
Really, really hot.

Also, summer (as I know it) is just about gone.
I start college in a few days, and I couldn't feel more...in need of an adjective.

I've got detention that has yet to be served, I skip class way too often, and any free time (that could be dedicated to studying or finishing vast amounts of artwork) I do have is spent at Waffle House or playing Pokemon.

I know I should care more.

But being irresponsible has never felt so good.

Down with school!
I vote Spring Break.
Too bad it's over.

Oh! Good (and relieving!) news on the subject of college, though! I was recently informed that I received the Dean's Scholarship, so I'll see you guys at UCA!

I can already tell that it's going to be very difficult for me to get myself to go to class during the next quarter.
Fuck it.



There you have it.

eat
sleep
waffle

The fresh air of something new fills my lungs.


Just in time.

Sometimes, life gives you lemons, and they squirt in your eyes.

But when you find ancient sunglasses in the lost-and-found box at work, your day is made.



Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww fuck.

So

I'm finally done with that horrible ACT test (for good!), and I got out with a 28.

I'm very relieved that winter break is here, but doing an obscene amount of work for studio art is going to take up a lot of my time.

Between school, work, and fun-time, there's not much time to breathe...but I'm enjoying life nonetheless.

There's a random update for you.

I couldn't feel more...winter-y.

Who knew??!

This game was made for me.

When all else fails...

A quiet evening of scrap-booking should do.

College, college, college.
Seems to be on a lot of minds lately.

And so begins preparation...
I've got a lot of grades and test scores to improve upon this school-year.
Let's hope I don't fuck things up too much.

Yesterday, John, Brad and myself had the pleasure of exploring the Two Rivers Trail.

And a bunny at that!

Today I was thrown into a pool.

Fully clothed.

whaaaaaaaaaat.

That's interesting.

Or something.

Oh fudgesicles, I have a lot to do tonight.

And Friday=Prom.

Booth and I better look rockin'.

I hate getting attacked by giant fuzzy insects while showering!

But abandoned Casey's BBQ is pretty cool.

Find your own pose!

I do sleep like this quite frequently.

Huhm.
