Joyrider

Another brief post - not much to mention at the moment.

The most significant thing? I have one week / two days of school left. As you can imagine, I'm pretty psyched about it, even if break is only a week and a half long. I have some things to finish up this weekend, such as my final projects (although we do get a workday on Monday for one, so less weekend work for me), sketchbook assignments, and other miscellaneous tasks, such as preparing for presentations and studying for a 20th century art exam. 

Then, I found out two nights ago that my godfather will be coming back with my mom and cousin today; he'll be staying until Wednesday while my cousin flies back up to Indiana tonight. I'm excited to see him, but I'm kind of craving my introvert time. Still, though. I will change my attitude, because he's dear to me, and I should be grateful that he's able to come and visit.

The end of the quarter has me in high(er) spirits. And to make things even better, spring is nearing, the sun is returning, I'm getting Hans back to drive (I ended up driving Harvey, my dad's car), and... well. I'm just in good spirits right now. I'm not going to stress over these final projects and tasks. I'm going to take it easy, and whatever happens, happens. 

I've been eager to write again - if not just for fun. Just to make progress. I have ideas dancing around and I need an outlet for them. Winterspell and Crucible call and beckon...  I just have to remember to be patient and not worry so much about whether my ideas are original. Work from the heart.

So yeah. Some tasks to do over the next four days, but you know what? I'm going to have fun with them. I actually ended up more excited about my final for Materials and Techniques - we have to make an illustrated doll (and come up with a little story for it). At first, I was freaked out because sewing is completely unfamiliar territory, but after practicing with my professor's sewing machine and coming out with something that was actually pretty good (and cute), I began to feel more optimistic. Now, I only have to touch up its paint, add some decorative elements, stuff it with polyfill, and hand-sew it closed.

I also wanted to mention dreams briefly. The imagery has been very interesting, but it's still as I said before: I'll only remember parts, or wake up knowing the general feel of the dream, such as this morning. I knew I dreamed about GW2 and fighting in WvW, but I can't recall what actually happened. I'm curious to see if anything will change when I'm on break - since it's so short. 

Not much else to add right now. I just wanted to document a shift in energies. Now, I have a bit of work to do...
