lately

so apparently i fail at keeping up with this blog. It's crazy that it has been almost a month since i last updated! Tomorrow is my final in my Basic Design class :/ I'm actually really sad about the class ending.
The whole reason i got a blog, was so i could get all of my thoughts out. Lately it seems like my brain has been in overdrive, thought wise. So many things are happening and at the same time not happening.
This summer has been strange, not bad strange, just strange. I don't really know how to describe it. It seems like everything is changing way too fast. I usually like change, but just not right now. I'm going to be going through enough changes in the next few years, i just want everything to stay the same for now.
So i've found a new backup job plan for me; if working at the Smithsonian/being a historian/joining a political campaign/ saving the planet doesn't work out, i'm going to help protect great white sharks. You might think this sounds crazy, but since they are my favorite animal, i think it sounds awesome! There is this show called Expedition Great White, where they catch the sharks and bring them up on this deck, that they can lower and raise ,and they get all kinds of scientific information and tag them. So they are doing this with like a 18 ft. shark right there, like they could pet it if they wanted to! And then they let the shark go and monitor their travels! I've decided that i'm going to join them and save the sharks! If you don't believe me, then you must not understand my love for great white sharks! strange, i know.
so i know that whole thing about saving the sharks is extremely random, but i've realized that most of my blog posts have been somewhat emo and that this one is also kinda emo so i had to add something to hopefully cancel out some of the emoness(is that even a word?).

this week

this week i started my art class; it's at 8am, which means i have to get up at the ungodly hour of 6am Monday-Friday. I have a feeling i might become a coffee lover this month because of this class. I was extremely nervous about the class; i don't know why; i'm not usually someone who gets nervous about classes. I guess i thought i would be awful at it. But as it turns out, i'm not awful at it. My teacher(who is awesome btw) is constantly telling me that my art is awesome and that i'm so creative(he also tells all the other students that, but i still like to think that i'm awesome at it). I love my class! I'm the only one who is not an art major/minor and i can't help but wonder, why am i not an art minor? My minor is political science and i hate most of those classes; they can be super boring. Politics = boring most of the time (i'm sure you already knew that and are probably wondering why i am just now realizing this). Art= awesomeness and being creative. My parents think that art should just be a hobby and not something i should go to school for, but my mom also thinks that i'm never going to find a job with a history degree and when i graduate from school i'm going to realize she was right and go back to school to be a nurse. Luckily my dad is cool with me being a history major. Anyways i guess i'm just to take lots of art class as electives my senior year since it is too late to change my minor. I guess the main point of this post is just to let you know that i love my art class and instead it turned into a slight rant. On a happier note, i now have 4 iTunes gift cards, which means tons of new/awesome music so if you have any suggestions of music that i should look up, let me know!
