So worth it.

so in case you did not see my post of facebook, I GOT A 100 PERCENT ON MY NEW TESTAMENT FINAL!!!!!!!!!!! and not only is that my first 100 on a final EVER!! but it is also an extreme miracle since the highest i've been able to get on the 4 tests we've taken in that class is an 84 which was really high. The rest i got below a 70. I ended up with a solid B in the class when i had a 78 before the test which made me almost cry when he told me. My new testament class was by far the hardest/best class i've taken at BYUH. Brother Sharp is awesome but his tests are so hard. During the final (which was oral) he stopped me and said he was wasting his time asking me everything because he knew I knew it all...and then gave me a 100. Seriously almost started crying with joy. only have 2 more finals to go. One final drawing for figure drawing to finish by friday and then an english final on thursday. THEN I'M DONE! can't wait to come home. :)

Finals, frustrated, furious, and fudge.

Soooooooo... today I only had one class and today i'm spending most of the day studying for my new testament final which will most likely be my hardest final. I bought a new New Testament book just to mark up with notes and bookmarks to use tomorrow on my oral exam. Not excited.
Then I tried to call Disney again about getting me something that has a start and end date for my college program. a total of about 30 transfers i'm still nowhere near getting one. This wouldn't be a problem if financial aid wasn't so dumb. But i won't go too far into that or it will just upset me.
So I went to check on my ceramics pieces that came out of the kiln. After about an hour of going through things I found all of my pieces making a total of 24. :) Thought i lost my purple tea pot which is my pride and joy but luckily found it in the very back corner. Not all of them turned out how I planned but most of them looked pretty good so I was happy.. until.. I decided to test my two tea pots. I put some water in them to see if the spout would strain the water through. The glaze unfortunately sealed all of the holes shut. I was absolutely crushed and devastated. I worked so hard on those tea pots and I took them to Brother Tolutau to see if he could fix them but he just gave it back to me and said the only use i'll get out of these is on a shelf for decoration. I was not told at all that I was suppose to wipe the glaze off near the holes, or make the holes bigger, or basically do everything opposite of what I did. Apparently I was suppose to know this. I want to cry i'm so upset. And then I ate almost half of the rest of my fudge that I bought a while ago. And now I have to study more for New Testament and pray I get at least a B in that class. Here's a picture of my collection. at least everything else is usable.

Well, that plan kinda failed..

Sooooooooo remember a few posts ago when i was going to do a picture a day..yeah that was a bust. The end of the semester is way too busy and have too much to do to have a fun art project everyday... but good news: I'll be 20 in less than two hours! Listening to the Tangled soundtrack currently and today was overall a successful day. Glazed most of my pieces in Ceramics, got 3 extra points added to my New Testament test on Luke, went to work and mostly just helped Brother Truscott open all the books from his advanced design class (way cool! I love having insight to what i'll be doing in the next year or so), watched Jen my Disney roommate open her christmas DVD I made her (priceless), went home and watched an amazing episode of castle, bought myself some Coffee and Heath bar Ben and Jerry's ice cream and then watched Morning Glory which was shockingly really good. I don't know why i'm even blogging like this, usually I just put up pictures.. don't like writing things down. debating watching Tangled or just go to bed..well i'm not tired yet so i'll watch it. Yes, I just made a very important decision while blogging.. extremely epic i know.. Also, thank goodness for spell check. I've spelled so many things wrong while writing this. hehe now you'll never know which ones though ;)  Well i'm off for the night. Peace

ps. just got a bunch of Disney Music to put on my ipod and guess what song just came on my ipod? Davey Crockett. yeah thats right. And if you don't know who that is then pardon me but please educate yourself while listening to his theme song.

Day 2: Favorite Animal

My favorite animal is probably an elephant. I guess its because they "always remember" and i envy that because i'm a very forgetful person. But also I just think they are amazing creatures and its on my bucket list to ride one. I love watching them on discovery channel and animal plannet and what not and they are just my favorite. :)

Day 1: Yourself

It doesn't exactly look at me but then again, when does it ever? but its probably the best self portrait i've ever done thanks to Brother Merril in my figure drawing class. :)


So apparently i'm a good hand model?



So our assignment in figure drawing is to draw two hands. one holding something and one relaxed by friday and my friend Marcus and I took pictures of my hand yesterday and apparently I my hands look like dead Snow White? haha we started taking them and when we got to the relaxed pose the pose looked so much like dead Snow White after she ate the apple that we decided to take a picture with me holding an apple and then me dead. lol here's what we came up with:

ps. here is a video that makes me smile about one of the most successful models in the industry. Sooooo funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hN89U_XD9E











30 Day Challenge!

This December I want to do this 30 day drawing challenge i found on pinterest. Also I am doing a Facebook fast till christmas to help me focus on it and i'm also going to buy some yoga classes this month so i can be in shape mentally and physically for finals. :) here's the list i must go through before the month ends.. For my friends who are reading this, if you want to send me reminder texts go ahead because I know i'll be bad at this but I really want to do it. Here is the list also I might change some of these because some of them are lame but this is the main idea:
