pretty pictures and captions

I finished my painting today! and i finished my final in drawing! { This means the only class i have stuff left in is Photo 2!!} here they are-

i'm pretty sure i want to make wallpaper out of this. I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out.

this is a close up of the design i made for the background on each color of square.

color palette for the sunflower painting.

final painting.

close up so you can see how thick the paint is.

This is how i paint. i take over the whole table and have to get in the zone. And then i paint so much i lose track of time. It's bizarre. i never thought that would happen to me with painting. I mean when i go on photo shoots i always lose track of the time, but it's weird that it happened with painting too. Never has happened with drawing. I am hyper aware of time with drawing. i HATE drawing.

this is my first drawing, first day of college.

this person {who i am still unsure if it was a guy or girl... but leaning toward guy...} knew every song of sean's and recorded himself singing ever song. I had more fun watching him than the actual concert. It was pretty darn entertaining. haha. and lauren was crepin' on him.

those two ladies were my favorite. it was hilarious! they were waaaay older than the average person there and they were borderline obsessed with mr k.

pet peeve- when people try to be funny in the picture you're taking.

I really like this one of us. {ash, me, betsy, tara}

and then there were random fireworks..... sorry for the cruddy picture.

i don't think that the concert was worth the money that the university paid for it. the only part that was good was the "fire burnin" song.

i'm sorry i am on the dull side today.

i see you through my window, while i'm studying at my table inside.

So today's post will be everything i see happening in the parking lot while i study-

there is this hill of dirt {where they tore crap down and the blessed chicken coops!} and is over grown with pretty weeds. Anyways, i go over there to take pictures and it's actually quite pretty. I look out my kitchen window and always feel like i'm in ireland. I feel like i should play some bag pipe music now or something. lol. so it is now called the Irish hill of beauty.

There is this guy who lives rather close to me. {and i honestly don't care if he sees this because i'm moving out in 1.5 weeks} And he is known in my ward by, "the most attractive guy in the ward." i cannot tell you how many times someone will say that and then all the girls know exactly who it is that's being talked about. it's great. So today while i was doing my homework i see him pull into the parking lot on his sexy bike. {like the motorcycle kind not the peddle kind} So i stop studying for a second and just gaze into his beautiful helmet. He walks towards my apartment and goes into his. back to my studying.

10 minutes later. He walks out of his apartment with his helmet in one hand and 2 ginormica trash bags thrown over his right shoulder all manly like. He chucks them ever-so-easily into the dumpster and goes to his bike. And then rides off. :D it was a good day to gaze out the window. I touched one of the wheels of his motorcycle this one time. Yeah.... no one was home at his apartment and the UPS guy delivered it to my apartment instead. So he came by to get it and i got to roll his new wheel to him. It was a very special moment in my life let me tell you. :P

He is also sunday school pres {i believe.....} And gives really nice lessons. My sister came to visit at the beginning of the year and said, "do you think they have him teach because he's easy to look at?" haha. gotta love someone who tells it how it is.

have you ever seen a someone carrying 3 full garbage bags riding a skateboard to take out the trash?? I would have answered with a no.... before today while studying at my kitchen table. I got a kick out of it. He was doing pretty good, and then he got a little off balance and CRASH! he fell onto his garbage bags. hahahah! sad, but hilarious! poor kid. Maybe next time he'll take the extra minute to plainly walk them out.

Anyways, that was the highlight of my study time. and then i sit here wondering why i don't remember everything i studied....

it's fine. i got A's on all my other tests and paper in photo history, i can fail the final...... right?

But on a very important side note-

hulu lets me pick what commercial i watch! Here i am watching ANTM photo shoot {America's Next Top Model, duh} and it's commercial time. but then i don't hear anything.... and then 3 choices pop up! One-cat food, two-5 gum, 3-some car. hello, i wanna see the gum one! It was an exciting thing to me. What a clever idea for them to think of. If i have to watch a dumb commercial, they might as well let me pick the least dumb one, right?? High five HULU!

And.... i found a long lost can of cranberry sauce on my food shelf today! for all of those who do not know, Cranberry sauce is the reason i go to Thanksgiving dinner. so, naturally i get excited to see it and knock it off my shelf, creating a huge dent in the side. And said dent prevented me from getting it out of the can in a pretty fashion. so i took a bite and it was not cold enough so i put it in the freezer to take a lil' chill before i ate some of it. And then i ate some of it..... yeah it's gone now...... don't judge me, i just like cranberry sauce. Next time i'm going to resist and let it freeze! It'll be like a Popsicle! I'm trying this. This summer. And then i'll blog about it.

alright well i have to get up at the bum crack of dawn {6 am if we're being precise} so this is my time to tell you sleep tight and to not let the nasty bed bugs attack you in your slumber. :D

Cookie sheets are useful for more than just making cookies.

SNOW IS HERE!!!
last night Betsy and Josh and Mckenna, and Hope and her boyfriend and Roman went to Old Main Hill and we went sledding! only we don't own sleds cause we're poor college kids! so...... We used cookie sheets instead!!!!! I was leery at first cause i've never had good luck on sleds but actually, they were less dangerous than a sled. It was awesome! :D Mckenna had a garbage bag and she made a "diaper" out of it.

She went down the hill in just that too!

When i tried going down on a bag it didn't work. But i liked the big cookie sheet.


Betsy and josh had a cute snow ball fight. They're funny peoples.



After we got adequately freezing and wet, we came home and made cookies on the same cookie sheets. :D

and then all three of them decided to use the oven as a rear end warmer.

It was a great night. :D
