Its a hard knock–

Must stay motivated and positive.

Its hard to stay motivated and positive at the same time.

School is getting tougher, and more confusing.

And life is too.

I just have to remind myself,

BREATHE. BREATHE.

Positive working thoughts...

Here are some of the illustrations Ive been working on for productionIII.

I really need to start brain storming for my ad II class. Just thought I'd update you on some more progress. :)

I don't think I want to process yet that my dad has just had a stroke.

:/

hjælp! Skolen tager livet af mig!! :P

Dansk er svært at studere tider. Men det er et smukt sprog.

School is kicking my butt btw.

Sorry been slacking on you blogger.

I will update when I can breathe.

Graphic design is very stressful and rewarding :3

Elsker deg!

Buzz...Buzz...

Here's the first day of working on part of my Daft Punk booklet design.

Ill have to upload my thumbnails, and stuff my Advanced Design Production teacher approved. Ive got A LOT of illustrating and designing to do, especially since my ideas are heavy in illustrations..!

(booklet, CD, CD cover, CD back, behind CD, sticker, shirt, poster)

AND I'M SURE THERE IS MORE THAT I CANT REMEMBER.

Ive been a very busy bee! I do apologize.

School has becoming quite rough, especially my Ad II class.

But that's the point right, to challenge yourself.

And I was REALLY challenged this week, in almost every way.

Its like, my brain was empty. Flat. I couldn't pull an idea from my head if I tried!

Which was really.. scary and surprising to me.

I didn't like it.

And it really over-whelmed me.

To the point where I really want to motivate myself and not just do the assignment. But push myself until that blank point. And its like, if I procrastinate enough I can squeeze out some craziness-but-cleverness and my stuff looks awesome.

That's how Ive made A's and B's last semester I think. No. I know. :)

Wool Dreads–

I have always wanted to make wool dreads and I have completed and accomplished them thanks to an awesome tutorial. So fun and easy to make.... :)

Around the world..around the world!

And the verdict is...... DAFT PUNK!

I'm very excited and intrigued to do such an incredible band! The next step is..... thumbnail time! I have to do five sets. All which include... a poster, cover/back cd design, sticker, and actual cd. I'm really nervous anxious.. because I feel like I have all these crazy ideas and how I'm sure how to ... tame the beast? Music gets me so inspired I'm thrilled to be doing a project that is focused around music.

The next step—once some sort of concept is approved I will post it. :)
PS:

First full week back at school.. here we go come on monday let me survive!

Dreadlocks? Dub?

I have made 3 dreadlocks so far.
Ive completed 1/3 of Ashley's head with dreadlocks.
I hope to eventually do all my hair.

My three are locking up pretty good.
I still do not understand the crochett method.
Maybe Ashley will learn how to.


I did wiifit already. :) Yesterday I did it for over an hour. I'm glad because we didn't end up going to the gym.
I kind of like writing in here.
No one listens.
And I can just ramble on.

I like not being judged for what I write or if I complain or if I say anything.
I wonder.
Can you say anything on here?

If so.
I'm pretty not here.
At all.

rip travis i wish i knew you better.
but i feel like sometimes i can see little glimpses of you.
i'm listening to jantsen right now.
they're going to playing at your benefit concert.
i think i'm starting to really get into dub music.
thanks :)

graphic design is cool

god. everything is lots of differentness.
facebook msg.
sublimeeee.
getting dogshit on my hands
getting hassled by the man
stickin needles in your arm
waking up my dog from off that ground
getting yelled at by my dad
say im happy when im not
finding roaches in the paaaaaaark
well i dont even know whats going on but i can't wait till summer time.
i wish i could visit my fam in cali.
ahhh someday :)

Plowing along..

Ah the daily hurdles we go through in life.

Lately it seems like mine continue to pile up like *insert clever line here*
I was going to say hot cakes, but I don't think hot cakes pile up.
Nevertheless..

I'm a pretty happy person. My facebook personality quiz said I was "Understanding, Cautious, Upbeat." Those aren't terrible. They're pretty good traits. I find myself often sticking up for those traits lately though. And my natural laid back sense of Tess has slowly begun to deplete. Which, is really sad. I guess thats what totally commiting yourself to someone can do. I guess I just never have fully given myself to someone in the past. Because I feel like.. right now its worse than puberty!
And puberty was pure hell growing up. I'm sure it was for everybody. Hurdle. Hurdle. Hurdle.

I'm noticing slowly, my friend line is being depleted as well. I thought about it the other day and realized that I don't really make the effort to keep friendships anymore. I'm the glue that holds most of my friendships together. Making things work. Lately I just havn't tried or really cared. I don't mind being by myself. I enjoy my own company. Does that sound bad?
Am I going to be one of those old ladies who ENJOYS staying at home watching day time television with *insert type animal that would not be allergic to here*
Honestly..
It doesn't sound that bad.

People in the past, like... when I was a teenager and even now tell me that I'm a young grandma. Because I seem to enjoy many old fashioned things. Swing & big band music. Quilts (omg.) Casseroles. Home cooked meals. Staying at home. Bingo. Grocery Shopping. Garage Sales & Antique stores. Silent films. Waltzing. Taking naps. Anyways. I dread getting older by the second but thank god for these wonderful short legs. I get I look 7 years younger all the times. Its weird.

People assume I'm the same age, 16-18 even when Ive gotten older! Its like I'm stuck in this weird Twilight Zone.

Anyway. Extern is going great..and slow..and great..and slow... I really like it here. Minus one person who has been a tad rude but he probably just needs a nap!

Chew away.

As the world turns..

So since this is the second blog I can tell you a bit about myself. The vauge stuff.

I'm 23 years old, libra, vegetarian, recent graduate from a health academy, on internship right now at a senior living community. I'm thirsty....hm

I like my juices diluted with no ice. I also like my sodas bland; club or seltzer. I don't drink a lot of soda though. As for teas; I'm versitle. I range from iced sweet to bland and hot tea. I'm pretty fond of tea. I'm not sure why I'm going into detail about the drinks that I enjoy. Its kind of odd now that I think about it. Nevertheless..

Flowers. My most absolute favorite flower is a sunflower. Obnoxious? Yes. Bold? Yes. Extremely tall and inconvient? Probably. But they're yellow and some have a golden orange tint to them. And yellow is my most favorite color. I'm starting to really like purple though. My mom started planting some flowers a week or so ago. Its starting to look really nice in the front yard. And all the herbs in the backyard are growing nicely too! I'm considering gardening someday.

Like I said, I'm at intership. I'm watching the Reflexologist do an ion detoxifyer on one of the residents. Its pretty interesting because it pulls the toxins from your feet. And turns the water a yellow, then orange, then black. Blech! It looks kind of disguisting but its interesting.

Oi. I'm sleepy and in pain. The joy of being a woman.

Just born.

Its true, Ive finally started. Blogging.

What does that even mean anyway? I hope I won't abandon this like Ive done to so many other Xangas. Rest in peace btw.

I'm a newbie, just born, a little baby.

Bring it on world.

Chew away!
