Shocked and Confused

So, this morning I checked my grades for my first semester at Pratt. I really thought they wouldn't be this good, like I would get a high chance of B's with a sprinkling of C's here and there. Guess I was wrong. The only thing I expected was the C- in my painting class. Basically he gave me that because I came late and had 2 abscences, which is ridiculous...but that's the policy of the school, attendance is vital.

Almost over...

So of late, I haven't been in the best of spirits. It so happens that this week is...finals week. So of course I have a lot to do.

Today I finished 3 of my classes, General Drawing 1, Figure Drawing 1, and Typography. I worked all weekend on the final assignments for that class. In the end they weren't bad, but I'm pretty glad that I don't have to take typography again. I'm quite terrible at those kinda of technical things, so my work wasn't very strong.

So, now I have 5 more classes. For wednesday I have a painting to do for extra credit, a book cover for illustration which i have not started and a book which i almost done with but will still be a bitch to finish.

Bla, so on to the next order of business...
I went to a jazz show yesterday at Nick's pub in Harlem, it was pretty nice. It felt good to go because when I drew I felt the energy of the music get into me and I think I got some pretty nice drawings.

I actually wanted to describe this feeling more...but I'm kind of burnt out from school today, and I wrote about this in Japanese earlier...so...yea.

Anyway, enjoy the drawings.

負けた。
愛の戦争では片思いで怪我した。。。
じゃ、結局で彼女はもう恋人あるから僕のことはNGだ。
中にはいろいろ気持ちか考えが浮かんでる。。。不満、悩み、後悔、痛み。。。
やりすぎてると思ったので仕方がないな。
何とか、胸の中に空っぽな感じしてるん。
今何を出来るのかよく分からない。
。。。誰か幸せの道を導いて下さい。

Other than that bit of emoness...finals week is next week. Which sucks, because I don't feel like doing jack. I feel pretty out of it, like i'm in some weird form of purgatory, waiting for my judgement or whatever else is next.

I have my volunteer position to look foward to. I start training next week. Also, I'll be in Miami on the 20th.

Almost forgot, I moved to Manhattan. I live with 3 other people and 4 cats...two which are slightly annoying because my room is their hangout and they get hair all over my clothes and bed. Everything else is cool though, can't really complain. I'm pretty close to school now, only 25min taking one train instead of 90 min by bus and train. The extra hour of sleep makes a difference.

No other news, just thought I'd say that and get that stuff at the top off my chest, it's really getting me down y'know.
