Two Weeks

Two weeks to go until I've completed the fall semester. "Two weeks? That's it?" Har, har, har. I have a test, three final projects, an exam and an essay that are all due within the next nine days. Almost there, right? Yeah, right.

In other news... There is no other news, really. School and work. Work and school.

I'm having a hard time concentrating on things. But I gotta keep my head down, focus and work hard. I can't let myself get distracted.

Tomorrow... Is Monday. I have three of those left, and then I am 100% done with school for three weeks. I'll need to take that time to work my ass off and improve my drawing. But one thing at a time - focus, focus, focus. I need to go study.

Merging with the shadows
Flickering between the lines
Stolen moments floating softly on the air
Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher

A Non-Lull

Well, the history paper is handed in and the VSCM project turned out better than anticipated. The crit for my drawing assignment, however, went about as bad as I expected. I wonder what kind of mark I'll manage.

I had a bit of a quiet(ish) week, homework-wise. It's a bit of an odd, calm-before-the-storm type of lull. Quite discomforting. Earlier this evening I had completed all the assignments due this week, and I found myself with nothing pressing to do. So I did some laundry and spent couple hours finishing up my study guide for the history exam in a few weeks. Made lunch for tomorrow, organized the binder. And now I'm here.
...
I think I'll go start on my final humanities paper. It's not due until the end of the month, but I'm sure I'll need all the time I can get once things pick up.

It's not as real if you don't look in their eyes

What a hellish week. I spent so much time to got three projects done, and in the end none of them are that great. I'm pretty sure I just wrote my most terrible, disjointed paper yet. My drawing (still) sucks, and I'm not that confident about my VSCM project. I can't believe I even skipped work for this. Such is life, I suppose. Will the rest of the semester be any better? I doubt it. The final drawing project is quite a bit above my level, and there's no-doubt a lot of work for VSCM. As always. Then there's still a final exam in history and a paper for humanities. Woo.

...

I don't even know what to write about that isn't school related. I must be a really exciting guy.

Stick around I got a hunch
We'll bomb this town and stop for lunch
And never, never mind those awful cries
You know it's not as real if you don't look in their eyes

Don't look in their eyes
Don't look in their eyes
Oh no
Oh no no

So we're here
Sound the alarms
Throw up your arms
We brought the entire army and we're starving
So don't try
Anything smart
There's plenty of ammunition and we've got our guards

Don't look in their eyes
Don't look in their eyes
Oh no
Don't look in their eyes
Don't look in their eyes
Oh no

Why yes, of course things can get much worse. How naive and utterly stupid of me to have considered otherwise.
