Last week was rough.
It was as if the universe was testing my skills as a well adjusted adult and I most definitely failed. Okay, maybe I didn't fail per se, but I didn't do well.
Near panic attacks from the crowded dark room in photography class and my bank account reaching new lows has me thinking about whether I can handle being a "grown up". Maybe I'm not as adjusted as I think. Or maybe I am just in a period of growth. Yeah, let's go with that.
Well I am, for the first time, learning how to stand up for myself and hold my ground. I won't go into detail, but it is safe to say that it's not going well. But I'm not giving up, because I need to value myself and not let people make me feel small (...figuratively).
I did, however, have a great weekend hanging out at Comics FTW (which I officially start working at this week!) for Geek Trivia Night and my first ever screening of a WWE Royal Rumble.
I was score keeper.
And I made new friends! I knew it would happen eventually if I hung out at a comic shop long enough. It's good timing too because yet another one of my friends is moving out of state. That makes two in three months. </3
In other news, I finally got to start painting! It may be just a monochromatic still life, but I was really excited to finally put some paint on the canvas. Not to mention some of the still life props were deer skulls.
Here is about two and a half hours of work, or the under-painting. After I mess with the antlers and bottle a little more I'll add some color. I'm thinking either a blue or a brown. Not bad for a start, right?
This makes a successful month of regular blog posts! Yes, I realize that this one is a couple days late. It still makes four posts in a month and that's pretty good.
Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have more interesting art to show off or stories to tell.
Here's to a better week!
