art day
i've been working on art all day. it's pretty tiring. and the ideas i have seem to always exceed what i am capable of. i'll have all these ideas pop into my head, but drawing them out is soooo hard. it's frustrating when your drawing doesn't match the image you have in your mind. but milo always keeps me going. "it's fantastic what milo can do for YOU!" hahaha i love milo. it's funny, my dad prefers making milo from scratch (not really scratch, but you know what i mean), than making it from 3 in 1 packs. "it's more personal," he says. anyway. another pigeon's decided to build a nest right outside my window, and after seeing the amount of mites that's infested our kitchen (after the first pigeon family settled their nest there), i had to shoo it away :( poor pigeon. it's quite scary. march is ending soon, and then there'll only be two months til the summer! and after the summer, i'll be a senior. so fast so fast sooo faaast. this year's really gone by so fast. but i feel like i've been in ics for forever. and i'm very excited to graduate soon. but i need to be sure not to take my last year of high school for granted cuz it's gonna be gone forever once i graduate. so, let me reflect back to my first day in ics. i can remember it sooo vividly. i had my hair in a ponytail, and had my dorky round glasses on. i was wearing the burgundy ics polo shirt, and navy bermudas. evie was the first one to say hey to me, and she introduced me to a bunch of people, i remember sanna being one of them. then i saw pat! she looked really flustered, so i didn't go say hey to her, but she came over anyways, going on about how dead she is. "i'm so dead! i'm sooo nervous, i'm so dead! aahh.." so she became my first friend. my homeroom was with mr. bryant. i was sooo nervous. i was experiencing major culture shock, i could barely talk. anna was the other new student who enrolled at the same time as me. her red hair was pretty shocking (cuz i had never seen red hair. or that many white people), but i loved her butterfly clips. my attempt at trying to make small talk was really sad though! "so is purple your favorite color?" cuz everything she had was purple- her binder, nail polish, pens, book covers. the lunch conversation consisted of eyebrows. a bunch of us stood outside the cafeteria and talked about how we all had different eyebrows. anyways, the day ended with me and pat having a crush on the same guy. haha what are the odds of that. anyways, me and ruth were talking the other night, and during our conversation, i decided that, as cliched as this might sound, we have to be really daring to always step out to find new opportunities in life (ooooooh, so cheesy!). if not, we wouldn't even know that they are there, and life gets pretty boring. and the risk of going for whatever opportunity is worth taking than not taking it at all and not knowing what you might find or get. and when i say this, i do mean it in a lot of different ways ;) so if you're hesitating to do something you really want right now, don't be scared. well, better get back to art. bye!
