Telloh!

So today I had LCD, it actually wasn’t bad! We spent the entire morning talking about our painting project, which will be posted soon, and I think I described earlier. So that was great, 3 hours of no work! And mine turned out to be one of the best, so I don’t have to do much in the way of fixing it up. During lunch I studied for Art History, which is why this entry is titled “Telloh!” That’s the name of the place where a couple of statues are from, and the way Michele and I managed to remember it was by saying “Telloh! My name is Gudea!” Gudea being who the statues are of. It was pretty silly, but it certainly works to have tricks like that! Then in the afternoon in LCD we got another assignment we did in class, and then along with fixing the painting, we have to take this picture of some famous painting (but I don’t know what it is) and use the Color-Aid paper (remember, the packet of 314 colors that was uber expensive?) and match the colors in the painting as best we can and as many colors as we can and paste them down in strips in a nice composition. Yea. Haha. Anyway, that really shouldn’t be too bad at all! I don’t mind my assignments so far this week… no English, no Film, and LCD, which I understand! I’m really sleepy right now though, it’s about 6:00 and once I’m done typing this I’m headed off to the Open Model Session until about 8:30 when I think I’m gunna meet Adah for dinner and get a smoothie. But I’m so tired! Tuesday nights are the worst in term of sleepiness because I know I need to go to the Open Model session and then I know I have 7 and 1/2 hours of class the next day. It’s exhausting. And my hard work is being noticed, which is really really nice. I have 5 examples. Yesterday, my English teacher said to me after class “I can always count on you to look awake, and I appreciate that. Thank you.” My sweet mate said about my 6 hour LCD painting job “Wow, you’re so driven! You’ll be my role model.” My roommate said about the same assignment, “I can’t believe you can spent 6 hours straight on one thing! That’s amazing, you’re really good at everything.” A girl in my LCD class said to me this morning, “You’re always so positive. Most people are so negative. That’s really cool.” And finally, my LCD teacher today after class gave me a whole speech on how much he enjoyed my energy and my passion and my drive and the work I was producing, that I cared to learn and that I was so submerged in my work. He actually saw me last Tuesday going to the open model session and said relatively the same thing in so many words as I passed him by. He was like “You’re taking full advantage of your education. I like it!” Basically, my some of the people around me notice how hard I work, and it’s good because damn, I work hard! Oh and mom told me that she was talking to some professors that she knows about me and how when my drawing teacher assigns 6 hours of homework and I only work for 5 I think something is wrong, and they responded “Ah! The dream student…” Which makes me smile. Because I do take my teachers literally and try to do all the work they say, even if I think it’s dumb, where some kids barely spend an hour. Anyways, I studied a bit more art history, now I’m off, and when I return, either I re try that stupid charcoal shoe assignment for Drawing (I spent 20 minutes on an hour and a half drawing because I HATE vine charcoal!) or I study art history or I sleep. So mostly, this is goodnight! I’ll post my LCD work soon. I hope you liked the Drawing examples.
