I hate school.

Well, I hate homework and deadlines and bad grades. I don't hate learning things.

I have an inexplicable D in Music Theory....I turned in all the homework, all of it on time, got decent grades on them.....got good grades on all but one of the tests.....so why a D? I don't know. A fucked up computer system I guess.... but yeah anyway I am panicking because I don't want to retake it. I already have to retake its companion, Aural Perception, this summer. But I didn't put any effort into that class, so, I don't really care. xD
Either way I guess it's not the end of the world...



My GSA put on a day of silence event this week...the main part of it was an open mic with poetry readings and songs about bullying/hate crimes/ etc. I wrote and read a poem but I didn't think it was good enough quality to submit here. And it's basically plagiarism, because it's a mashup of quotes from "true stories of bullying" that I found on the internet. Except it's not really plagiarism because I'm not claiming them as my own words....but still. Not enough original content.

I was also the official event photographer, and let me tell you, I really need lots of practice with photographing people. I'm so used to taking macro closeups of things that don't move, but to have to take pictures at a distance of fast moving people in auto mode in unpredictable, uncontrollable lighting conditions...ugh. Most of them were washed out in the bright Arizona sun beyond what GIMP could correct. Blurry faces, horrible composition (because of the distance from the subject that I'm not used to)....yikes. So I don't think you'll be seeing any people pictures from me anytime soon.

I was also voted in as Secretary of that club recently for next semester. Oh yes, this means even more time away from doing art. x_x But totally worth it, I assure you. More responsibility is what I need.


So that's what I've been doing in lieu of posting pretty pictures. There will be some in the near future, I promise.
