down on the cornerthis week has been insane. but it is all over now, which is a good thing. i am incredibly glad that this 6-weeks on steriods (= 7 weeks) is finally over. now all i really have to worry about is a) the ap on may third and b) finishing my dog show piece. now that i think about it, neither of them should be particularly awful. i hope.
speaking of art-related things, state VASE was yesterday. i got a perfect score (20/20), so i medaled. which made me really happy. almost everybody from our school (there were seven of us, i think...) medaled, so it was a good day. the workshops were wonderful as well, and i learned a lot. and drew a "swirling vortex of popcorn" as one of the girls sitting at my table described it. but sadly, my popcorn picture won me nothing (it was for a scholarship program thing, that was one of the workshops. we had to select three pieces of popcorn and draw them in a creative way that demonstrated control of the medium. which, in this case, were yellow and white oil pastels). but i think it looked pretty cool. vortexy...
if that isn't a word, it's one now.
