Sleepy Sarah

AHH... it has been a crazy two days! Sorry i skipped yesterday but i couldn't get to a computer!! Yesterday i had my Basic Design class. We did drafting ALL DAY! It is like mind numbing technical work that can make you go CRAZY! i had to draw these crazy out of proportion drafts of this stud earring i have over and over again making sure all the mesurments are perfectly symetrical then EXTREAMY CAREFULLY going over it with jet black sumi ink. Me and Zoey were going mad by the end of the class. During my lunch break i got my package from my mom (my chanel poster, cough drops, a letter from Tiffany, and a card) and i have to say... i am for the 1st time a little homesick! My Chanel poster looks really good above my bed though... all the girls love it! well after class yesterday I hung out a bit, ate dinner and then me and Lauren went to the RISD gym. It was kinda nice! At first when we went we were a little disapointed because we thought they didn't have tread mills but it turns out (as we found out after we complained about it to our RA when we got back) that there is a whole room we didn't see that is full of them! But we went on the Bikes for a bit. They did have this like detoxifying yoga class you could take... where they turn the heat up real high and you sweat buckets and do yoga at the same time but they didn't have enough spaces left. when we got back we just hung out in the dorm for a bit. Later at around 9ish i walked out to Kinkos with Chloe because she needed to make a copy and then we went and got shakes at Ben and Jerrys across the street. Today I had to wake up at 730 when basicaly half of my dorm didn't have to wake up till twelve because they had Art history!! So i had to move around quietly trying not to wake up Karissa this morning. My eyes are really blood shot because i have been wearing my contacts for was too long. I wore my glasses today but my eyes feel so dry and are still blood shot... hopefully it will clear up so i can wear my contacts again because they are so much easier! So i had breakfast with Zoey and then i went off to Foundation Drawing... let me tell you... the longest class of my life!! i feel SO DRAINED OUT!! First we had there intense critiques of our nature lab drawings. the teacher, the TA (Teacher Assistant), and the other kids totaly analize your work. they kinda liked my Turtle drawing... one girl said it looked to rough but then Zoey was nice and said it had good contrast. Then my Teacher said even though my hands are a little cartoony that she would like to congratulate me on capturing the true values of the turtle shell aswell as it's texture. I guess that is a good thing. After that we started a new project that is due next week on thursday. it is a neutral value scale collage of a colorful painting. I chose this pretty Matisse of a a lady playing a piano. it is gonna take me for ever. cutting all those little pieces gave me such a headache. After our lunch break we went back to start figure drawing, which i have never done before. If you don't know what figure drawing is... it is then a nude model comes in and does poses for the class to draw. It was a little wierd at first but after a while you really get into the drawings and forget that they are naked. We had both a male and female model (both over like 60) who alternated doing 1 min, 2 min, and 5 min poses. We had to draw with our charchol all the proportions and try to make it all look life like in the time periods we were given. It was so exausting because we had to stand at an easel, doing no stop drawings for like 3 hours. By the end i was covered in charcol dust and about to keal over!! I took a little nap when i got back and then desided to write in my blog!! Tonight i really have to work on my Art History paper and Oral presentation due tommorow! i haven't even started it yet! We were gonna go to the gym but i think i might have to pass. Sara and Karissa did there presentations today (they have the same teacher but a different day!) there is also a casino night tonight at seven so i want to finish by then so i can whip all the art boys butts in poker!! you get free movie passes if you win too! Hopefuly David, Adam, and ESPN have taught me well! Tommorow i get to sleep in until 830 then me and Zoey have art history and i have to do my 5 min presentation (which i should be doing now) Then Nana and Papa are coming to visit after class at 12. we ae gonna hang out for the day and then they are taking me and Karissa out for dinner at 615. i am excited!! I gotta go work on my project!! write u later! <3
