school stuffs.

-pauses for a moment to POINT AND LAUGH at siblings-
hahahaha because they are stuck going to private schools, they started school today. a whole WEEK earlier than me. though i don't get to take much advantage of the fact that they are both out of the house during the day because i work most of the rest of this week and on thursday, i will be out and about. (hair cut!! D; )

but i guess they will be laughing at me come summer because they will get out first. ... but then I get the last laugh, because then i'll be done with high school FOREVER and soon out of the house and all, "SEE YA, SUCKARS!"

yes. yes.

my school schedule is niiiiice, as previously mentioned. i got it buffed out. looks like this, as our school goes by four quarters, rather than two semesters:

1st: creative writing, psychology, art!
2nd: physiology, psychology, art!
3rd: world literature, government, ART!
4th: physiology, economics, more freaking ART!

life is awesome? :D
the second half will be boring as most of are those required credits i am supposed to take, but it's not going to be difficult. at all. and i am not looking forward to uhh, dissecting cats in my second physiology class. but it promises to be fun otherwise.

anyway.
i had my first MCAD class yesterday, their drawing I class. it's...intimidating. at least, right now it is. my technique that i am so used to is so much different. while i am usually against erasing unless i need to and working up darkness through layers, this guy is having us work with really soft stuff and then trying to erase dark lines like crazy. i grew out of this process so long ago, man. it's so inefficent, wrecks the paper, makes things too heavy too fast, etc.
so i dunno, i am probably going to put in pencil layers and then doing the charcoal thing unless he starts getting mad at me or something. because i got in the worst fight with charcoal yesterday to the point that it was all over my paper, me, and my neighbor pretty much. everything i drew turned out like shit with this soft charcoal because it just SMEARED. EVERYWHERE.

i am also slowly starting to dislike the teacher the more i think about it, though. not only is he incredibly boring and has this annoying ego that keeps slipping into whatever he's talking about, he has this "noise distraction" theory that is absolute bullshit. he doesn't allow any sort of music or...any noise, really. (i'm seriously not going to survive, guys.)
i can understand the point he made about obnoxiously loud headphones that blare music so everyone around them hears it and the communication barriers it sometimes creates, but the whole, "no noise so you can focus 100% on work" thing? i cannot CONCENTRATE for hours on end if i don't have some sort of noise in the background. hell, even if it was talking i would be okay... but he doesn't really allow that, either.

music is my artistic fuel. seriously, no artist i have ever met can ever focus completely on work. i've noticed that even if me or someone is really deep into it, they are still usually listening to music, talking to others around them, and so on. i probably give about 90% of my attention to work, while the other 10% goes to something else (music, usually). but if there is nothing filling that void, my concentration on work slips more and more as time passes...
the fucking eerie silence besides the sound of charcoal screeching occasionally and the blinds clacking together in the wind really started to bug me after a while. started gathering my short attention span more than my work did... and all of that could've been EASILY prevented if there was just some comforting noise. whether it was music, talking, SOMETHING.

if he would just make like, a volume limit so that it doesn't disturb others and we can still hear him, then i know i wouldn't be the only happy person in the class... or just at least allow us to TALK.
gah. at least i will be able to get my out-of-class work done without an issue. well, as soon as i get some money for supplies anyway, because apparently they did not set up my $50 that was supposed to be there the first day. so i am struggling to keep my bank account positive at the moment... i might have a cute little $33 overdraft fee showing up in the next few days, because i realized last night that i had been negative for some time already. UUUGGGH.

anyway, i have a feeling that i will be debating with the professor sometime soon about this noise thing. i sure hope our class is allowed to y'know, BOND and stuff so that we will feel more compelled to ignore him and talk throughout class... (because i would like to talk to that ungodly beautiful guy that was sitting next to alexa yesterday. holyCRAP. o 3o;)

annnnd i'm done. what few precious hours i have of my summer is slipping away slowly so it's kinda sad this whole entry is all about school. i am running out of things to draw (and debating doing some gaia commissions again because of it) and spending most of my time playing video games when i honestly should be getting something more constructive done. sigh.
