i'm done! finished! free!!

i still haven't received the two last final scores, i'm fairly sure i passed everything, and with good grades.

*sighs with relief*

expect lots of fanart in the next days! i'm also going to show you guys some of the work i did for my finals that i was especially happy with, but it's a lot of stuff to photograph. :o

but first... i'm going to sleep.
 
 

i got highest grade on that piece of crap paper i complained about!!! a 7,0 which is the same as an A+, a 100% or whatever you want to call it!! MR BAUDRILLARD I'M SO SORRY I CALLED YOU NAMES. IT WAS REALLY LATE AND I WAS FREAKING OUT AND REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT. BFFS Y/Y?

D: D: D: omg! it was my worst prepared work and it got the highest grade of all my papers this semester. idk how to feel about that, really!

and i did decently on my presentation too!! now THAT one i can't explain.

omg guys i'm kicking ass. i can hardly believe it. two more finals to go!! and then i can go back to the fanart! i am starting to feel weird, seeing so many posts without fanart. i have to start working seriously on the *~super-sekrit project~*, and i owe people birthday doodles and i found an old H/D sketch that i'm going to paint with watercolors because it's been a long time since i last used them.

me ftw srsly!!

other very ftw things:

my latest texture pack was featured on dA's texturegasm #9. i don't get this sort of exposure very often (hard to get noticed on a site like dA unless you, like, leave 1000 comments every day or draw anime) so it was a nice surprise.

speaking of dA, us cheap unsubscribed users get deviation previews now! how awesome is that?? i rarely comment because i'm too lazy to click on all the text links (i watch a fairly big amount of people) so maybe this will help.

one last thing. that fanartists vs. writers meme (i deleted my post and pics- i take it back, me ftl 4ever) reminded me of the existence of these photos. they were taken two years ago by an ex-classmate of mine. obviously i'm the model.

so, it didn't go very well.

paper: a piece of shit. i couldn't even manage one full page before my brain shut down and i think not even half of it make sense. but i turned it in anyway. i always seem to get higher grades than i expect in that sort of class (philosophy, art theory, etc), but i doubt that'll be the case here.

presentation: ugh. not too horrible, but far, far from good. i ended up tripping over my own words and repeating myself and saying dumb crap and ugh it was terrible. i'm sure i won't fail this class, but damn it, it was my final and i sort of blew it, so i feel bad about it.

so, in short:

I SUCK.

but here are the images. i haven't done a serious photo manipulation in ages, and i still think these aren't it (far too sloppy and simple), but i am getting back into it.

i'm also cheating and using these as art for one of my thematic100 prompts. ha.

Classes passed: 2. Classes to go: 5.
Finals due tomorrow: 1. Progress: about 5%.
Papers due tomorrow: 1. Progress: I'd say 3%.

Mugs of coffee drank: 1. Possibility of nausea all through the day tomorrow: around 10%, since I only drank it at around 11:45 pm.

Prospective hours of sleep tonight: 3 if I'm lucky.

The (not really) funny thing is that I did absolutely fuck-all in the afternoon because I can only start concentrating on schoolwork past 8 pm. Especially if it involves writing. So I'd rather work under pressure and lose valuable hours of sleep than make the effort of doing boring shit for a couple hours. I suck.

Well, only 1 1/2 weeks to go and I'll be free. If I pass everything I'll declare myself queen of the universe.


Every time I see the acronym GW, I think Gundam Wing, not Ginny Weasley. So whenever I see HP/GW written somewhere, my brain has a few milliseconds of confusion involving Harry piloting Wing Zero before I go "no wait a sec, that's not it."

Thank god the abbreviation of Legend of Zelda has three letters as and almost none of the characters have surnames.

I'm bored. Ask me questions. Fandom, real life, silly, anything, as long as they're not excessively Deep and Meaningful and/or Serious Business, because I'd rather use the time it'd take me to think about the answers doing, you know, important work.

*goes back to putting cameras on people's eyes for final and pulling stuff out of ass for Philosophy paper*

*How to Speak Chilean Spanish. i lol'd because it's true. well, except for the "sing-song" thing. i think i've seen chilean spanish described that way, but i wouldn't know. to me it just sounds normal. :p

*i got a journalfen account. i'm still not sure why! well, other than to join fandom_wank, of course.

*i recced this on the rs_prophet, but i'm doing it here too, because the adorableness kills me. Lovers by maha16. a simple drawing, technique-wise, but the lovely bodies and expressions of happiness really got me. pg-13?

*i had my kitty spayed yesterday. ( here she is, still a little out of it... )

**i'm really considering going on a semi-hiatus, starting monday until my winter vacations (early to mid-july), because, let's face it, my grades are suffering because all of the time i spend on lj/fandom. i don't want to bail out on my fellow propheteers, so i'd show up on tuesdays to put together my rs_prophet issue and answer any lj comments i get while i'm at it, but ideally you wouldn't see me around for much more. of course i'd still finish my rs_games submission for round 2 and my last two big bang illustrations (and work on a seekrit project with trailingoff :p). idk. i don't want to start failing classes again, so i've really got to get my shit together, and soon.

i just have to remember that the hp fandom isn't going to drop dead while i'm gone :p

so, my cousin let me borrow his camera (canon rebel xt) for a few days, to see how it worked and to do some test shots and such. but-- my computer won't detect the camera when i connect it. no, i mean-- it does, then it tells me that the installation went wrong and then nothing. i've reinstalled the drivers two times already. UGH. i don't know what i did to deserve to have such shit luck with computers and all kinds of electronic devices. a crime against technology in a past life, apparently. DAMN IT.
 
 

hey guys. i got a new blog for my class work (teacher said we had to get one.)

i think i still will post some of the stuff here (the blog is only for one specific class) but only what i like the most, while i'll have to register every project, assignment and shit like that in the blog. i'd like to post the stuff from the rest of my classes on there too, but it'd probably get too cluttered.

anyway, i'm still messing around with the settings (oh, how i miss the lj-cut) and there's not much there (just made the first post) and it's in spanish, but you can still look at the pretty pictures.

guess who's now officially back to art school!! \o/



(my classes start on the 17th. goodbye, freedom!)
 
 

oh god signing up for this will turn out to be a horrible mistake, but



TEAM POST-HOGWARTS FTW BITCHES!

(PS. THE BANNER ART IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE ISN'T IT HA HA)


( exciting recap of yesterday's afternoon )

( Deep Thoughts on twilight princess )
 
 

Hai gaiz. sorry for the rambling. it's sunday and everything is boring on sundays. and i can't shut up.

It's just that was lurking on remusxsirius, looking at old posts and, you know what, the term "puppyshipper" fucking makes me gag.
not only because it's a bit too cutesy for my tastes and for the characters it refers to (wellll i do admit I likes me some MWPP-era fluff, and i'll probably get used to the word through sheer overuse but still), but also because i'm weird and (and all this rant comes from reading my own user info) i hate the word "puppy". it's at the top of my "hated words" list. (yes I have a list. I wrote it down one night at 4 am when i couldn't sleep. I also have one for favorite words. shut up). I don't like how it sounds, I don't even like how it looks. same with the spanish word. Which is even worse. I can't even type it- or even say it out loud D:

I'm not even not a dog person. At all. i don't even like my own dog (well, it's not mine mine. more like the family dog. whatever). and i think puppies are kind of annoying and not really that cute. there was a semi-exception the other day (semi- because it wasn't exactly a dog) on tv, where this guy was teaching a wolf cub to howl. OMG. me = puddle of goo.

also, my friend had her baby. It's (i mean, she's. for some reason i automatically think of babies as "it"s) um. tiny. and very red. and... has lots of hair. i went to visit her and when i got home from the hospital my mom asked me if she (ha, see! i remembered) was cute. my very eloquent and enthusiastic answer: "she's... a baby".

at least she was pretty quiet and only cried for like 10 seconds in the 2 and a half hours i was with my friend. i think i could even be convinced to hold her. Of course, i'll probably hold her like one holds an angry cat, but hey, it's something.

apparently photobukxet.com is a real URL? i stopped it before it could load, but now i want to see what it is (pure curiosity). it's probably just a typosquatting site :/


well look at that. i went from shipping to word-phobia to animals to babies to typos.

to make this entry more interesting, here's a cute gif.



FFFFFUCKKK I HATE SUNDAYS
IS IT CAN BE MONDAYS TIEM NAO PLEES
 
 

i'm going to a baby shower in a couple hours.

oh, hell.



(for those of you who don't know me, i hate babies and everything related to them. but i can't exactly get out of it, 'cause the girl's my best friend.)

My Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom is: Severus Snape becomes a barista at Starbucks in a scene J K Rowling wept as she wrote Get your Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom

in other news, i'm seriously considering switching to a different university. i'd still be studying art, but i'd actually doing more of what i like. i'd actually learn HOW to draw and paint, for starters.

i took my final art theory exam yesterday. i hope i didn't ruin everything. the grade i need to get to pass the class is pretty low, so i *think* i'll be ok. i might be thinking of leaving this school, but i'd like to leave on my own terms instead of being kicked out on my ass. that'd be a little humilliating.

oh, and because i'm bored and organizing my class notes, here's what my handwriting looks like.



yes i am very fond of arrows.

mm this makes me want to make more brush sets.

my poor computer needs more RAM urgently.
but... getting a brand new computer sounds tempting too. too bad i don't have MONEY. it would certainly end all the weird problems i have with my current one that nothing seems to solve. if my computer were a person it would probably have several physical and mental diseases.

the problem is, i have really bad luck with computers and everything related to them. i bet the new one will have SOME kind of problem after a few days of use. i think my family's cursed, or something. the bad luck extends to all of us.

oh, and this is for nephrus.



i should have finished this yesterday. sorry!

I should start crediting my texture sources, for they are awesome! i do it on dA (even if sometimes i forget), so why not on lj. the one used here is by cherrystone. And I'm going to mention RESURGERE right now too, because they're the best and i use their stuff a lot.

i had no idea my art was being linked/promoted/etc on hp_art_daily. that's pretty cool. i've no idea how they found me. probably some community, it's a small internets after all.



also giant moths are pretty gross y/y?

maybe i'm leaning more to the illustration side of things after all. i don't want to limit myself just yet... i mean, i still like painting, and i'd like to advance more on that, but illustration is probably more of my thing. don't really know yet.
my professor didn't seem to be incredibly enthusiastic, but at least he didn't drag me through the mud, like in some art school horror stories i've heard.


ps: art history is just as horrible as ever.


pps:




now i have to go read trotski and draw fruits.


ISN'T ART SCHOOL FUN????

five days left of vacations. trying to not think about impending collegedom.

well, i know i complain a lot about it, but there *are* parts of it that I enjoy. The problem is that the things I dislike outweigh the things I like. so, i'm only looking forward to a few classes.

also trying not to think about the possibility of having yet another nervous breakdown and failing art history III again. Not too worried about art theory snce I didn't fail that one because I suck (i am actually marginally good at that class when i make an effort), I failed it because I am a lazy shit who doesn't think manifestos are all that interesting.

what am i doing in art school then? weeelllll.


art history ;_;
i think i'll have to change the way i draw so they don't make me research dadaism again (don't know where my prof got THAT one from). if they do I will scream+tear my hair out+throw myself from the highest balcony i can find.

that could probably be considered a very dada thing to do.


but, I will make an effort this year! cause the last one started badly (i missed the first two days of class because of my monumental stupidity) and only got worse as the months passed, and i'd like to get decent amounts of sleep and keep my sanity.

i've been horribly lazy this summer. i don't think i've left the house more than 15 times in the past 2 1/2 months. oooohhhhh.

i went out... once... to take pictures of another abandoned building... that's pretty much it. i've a lot of sketches but they're stupid and boring, and most of them are fanart and i tend to keep those to myself anyway. I'll paint something if i can muster up some mo-ti-vay-shun (doubtful).


( a few hopefully-not-abysmally-stupid doodles (fanart and original mashed together like fghhjkshf) )


also, having money-related college problems right now. fuck! no, i don't have any unpaid debt from two semesters ago, i've paid everything, you idiots! they could have let me know sooner that they've fucked up, not two weeks before the new semester starts, what the hell. now i'll have to wait till tuesday to sort this shit out. WOOOHOO. way to go.

-we finally moved into a new house. it's a lot smaller, but it's nice and comfortable. pictures will be posted. my cat was positively traumatized by the whole event and spent two days hiding under my bed.

-i turned 20 this past tuesday. i spent my birthday unpacking stuff and painting my bedroom. oh well. i made my own birthday cake, and it was pretty damn good.

-a shopping spree is planned for this weekend as soon as i get my birthday money. will be buying many pretty colorful things for my bedroom (and maybe a cute pair of sandals if i have any money left)

-i passed film class (and with good grades too!) ha! never again. god. no.

-i want me some twilight princess :x god i already have the money and everything i can't wait any longerrrr

-catching up with the internet (specially lj) is a pain in the ass.

-i have my last exam tomorrow and after that i'm freeee for the rest of the summer.

-speaking of exams, i really should be studying right now.

I got my ass owned by Flash MX.

I'm pathetic.
I can't even make buttons without fucking up. And I lost my class notes, so I'm completely lost. Internet tutorials didn't help.

It's almost 2 am, I give up. I don't even want to go to class tomorrow.

Fucking flash.

;_;

the switch to daylight saving time is really fucking with my sleeping hours

I hate it.

Last night I dreamt I was back in high school. I was in history class (wearing a different kind of uniform and in a classroom that looked like the ones at my college, funny how things mix up), and then my History teacher starts telling us that she lost her baby for whatever reason (I can't remember) and then starts handing pamphlets with fundie pro-life propaganda and yelling about how da terrists r killing our childrens and I'm like wtfff what's going on! I'm so going to scan this shit and post in on the internet!

It was funny.

and then I woke up.

I THINK I NEED TO SPEND LESS TIME ON THE INTERNET.

oh and before that I had a dream involving a tub filled with cooking oil. hmm yeah I don't know.

I'd rather go back to the usual (that is, not remembering anything between the moment I fall asleep and the moment I wake up the next morning).





I'm also posting two old sky photos because I'm unoriginal and I lost my camera's USB cable again. >:(
