I have an art project I need to be thinking about, but I have absolutely no good ideas. The class it's for is stupid, anyway, and I spend the entire 3 hour period messing around with my friends. And I failed my first physics test yesterday because it's boring and I don't pay attention in class. And I got a parking ticket last week. What's wrong with me??
Ugh, work is going to be so lame tonight. I've been working at a frozen yogurt shop for the last 6 months and I love it, but I don't really get many hours. Now that fall and winter are coming it's only going to be less :( Today is cold and rainy so I won't have much to do all night.
I really just want to go home and paint my dolls or take pictures. I'm at my dad's house without a camera and all of my BJD and painting stuff is at my mom's. Boooo. I'm 20 years old now and I want to move out so I can keep all my crap in one place. XD The problem is I will never be able to afford it. Pfffffffffft.
Today sucked. I'm so bored (obviously) and I haven't done anything except be on the computer thinking about all the stuff I want to do but don't have time to start because I have to go to work tonight. I have tomorrow off but I REALLY should get started on that project. Ugh. that means I'll probably spend all day doing nothing and thinking, "I really should start that project..." but then not actually doing it. I hate college art classes with their stupid prompts and deadlines and annoyingness.
I'm a photography major, I don't see why I have to take all these stupid irrelevant classes. I've only been able to take ONE beginning photography class and that's what I did this summer. The worst part is that it wasn't digital, so I had to use an SLR camera that was older than I am and print everything in the darkroom which SUCKED. I did learn a lot about the basics of photography that helped me with my DSLR, though. I'll get to take some digital photography classes in the spring but I'll still need to take more old-school photography in addition to those...even the people in the camera store felt bad for me every time I came in to buy (hundreds of dollars worth of) film and paper. They'd say, "You poor photography students are pretty much the only ones who still do film photography."
Ugh. =___=
I really want this week to be over so I can go to Kansas City this weekend and hang out with my friend Sarah. We're going to the new American Girl store and I'm going to try not to buy out the entire place XD they don't make stuff for Kirsten and Samantha dolls anymore since they're retired, but I definitely have to get a birthday present for the little girl I nanny for. I gotta get her brother something too, since his birthday is the weekend I'm gone, but obviously I'll have to get his gift somewhere that's not for girls haha.
When I visited American Girl Place in Chicago over my spring break, it was AWESOME. They had a little doll hair salon and all the coolest stuff you could possibly imagine. OMG. I want to work there. Seriously, I'd photograph dolls for the catalogue or dress dolls for display or do their hair, whatever. I bought an absolutely absurd amount of stuff, and then I had to carry it all over town for the rest of the day XD I didn't give a damn, though. It was my birthday! (AKA St. Patrick's Day)
Yeah. I splurged (again) and bought myself my only article of designer clothing, too - that green strapless dress is from French Connection (FCUK) and it is gorgeous. It barely fits me, though XD That's another thing I've been doing, too - exercising my ass off! Over the summer, I tore my Achilles tendon while running and had to spend a month in a cast and two months not exercising, which was awful. Now that it's all better, I've been hitting the gym almost every day and trying lots of weight training, which I've never done much of. I take Body Pump classes every week which kill but my arms and legs are more buff than they've ever been!
So yeah. I think it's time for me to get back into my dolls again. I miss them! Whenever I browse eBay and see how much money all this crap is worth, it reminds me that this stuff isn't for decoration and that I need to continue getting my money's worth out of it all. This hobby really has helped me grow a lot artistically. I'm so much better at photography, painting, and faceups than I ever have been. I think more carefully about color schemes, fashion, and modeling. Without my dolls, I would have never developed an interest in photography and I would have no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Even now that I'm almost done with college, I'm not completely sure what I want to do, I just know I want something related to photography. My own studio would be killer, but we'll see.
Well, it's about time to go to work now. Boo. D:
