A lovely quote from Streams of Silver, Forgotten Realms. Drizzt...yummeh!



I knew it! OOOOHHHH I knew persistence would pay off! No, I havent snagged that job yet, nor have I finished paying off my bills...nor have I finished any of my homework yet this week or studied fer my midterms...(shame on meh!) but i have reached the highest point in my life thus far (zen, maybe fer lack of a better word?). Loose ends have been chipped away and I finally see the whole picture for what it really is. And get this...I'm smiling! XD
No one has a better grip on my life than I do, and only I am responsible fer my happiness. No one else. So I did what any Christian in the right state of mind would do...I finally let shit I couldnt change, go! RAWR!~
Oh, what a blessing that has done for me! I have gone through too many things in life to stop now. Life is too short to worry about everything. Lord knows I did it for so long. I can only focus on my well-being and my work. Everything else will fall into place.
So you may be wondering what triggered this different state of being within me. Well, it started with a simple wardrobe change. Anyone who knows me, knows I have the whitest legs on the planet, due to lack of wearing anything other than pants. So i decided to get girly, and wear a skirt to school for the first time since grade school. Yes this is a big deal to me so fek off! XP
Im pretty sure it wasn't all the skirt's doing, but I knew there was that undeniable bounce in my step again. I felt ready to take whatever the world would throw at me...(i think i should be a writer, no? oh wait, i am! XD) I felt good. i felt pretty. Thats all that mattered. And i guess others noticed too.


Of course, that doesn't mean that I'll leave the fate of my midterms and final class grades to the will of the world. >D
Im definately feeling a bit anxious with my life drawing class. My teacher keeps bugging me about working on my shading and ive improved slightly...but i dont think its going to change so dramatically as he probably wants it to. i has the stubborn! and halfway through the course, he NOW tells me to change my sketch book to a different medium(cold press or something). like i have this kind of money! D< well, at least he tells me my drawings arent bad... /slitwrist
Color applications...im a bit worried on too, since i cant paint to save my life...but my project seems to be coming out well enough to please at least my own nit-picky ways.
I have plenty to do this month, so I'll keep myself up-to-date:


Colors painting - 100%
5 sketches - 20%
Concept Thumbnails for Final - 0%
Plan bday party - 0%
Finish changeout at work - 100%
Two lab drawings - 0%
Liath Sidhe - 30%

I always like hearing this as God knows it rings true, part of the serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr. I find myself constantly working on this, might help ya if you've never read it before. God works in ways sometimes that are crazy amazing, I'm actually going through it now with my book and hope he'll help me on my next project. ^^

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

well I would be nothing without Him.
I may make my own decisions, but then again, God's influence is never
far off from my own will.
