Well, compared to yesterday's super productive day, I've accomplished today, what amounts to about a hill of beans.

I was soooooo very tired on Thursday night that I looked like shit and it showed. The black circles under my eyes were lookin' som'thin' fierce.

The doctor in the class even pulled me aside and asked if I was feeling ok. He's a rough fellow, and diagnosed me as officially looking like shit. For some reason that endeared me to him even more. He suggested I get to my doctor and get her to send me to a ear nose and throat specialist. I think that is a good idea. He said I need to get a handle on these allergies.

Anyway, I was so tired, that upon leaving class I left EVERYTHING there. Sitting on my drawing table, there for anyone to take, or look at. I realized it the next morning, but didn't manage to go get it till this afternoon. I think a part of me was hoping it was gone so I could eliminate that source of stress from my life. Not that the art is stressful, it's just that I'm behind, and, like I mentioned earlier, my instructor moved our portfolio due date up from next Thursday, to this Thursday.

Shit.

So Shawn has agreed to let me do my life drawing assignment of him. *That is a nude, incase your wondering.* Hopefully, I'll be able to do that tomorrow evening.

I'm going out to sit in the courtyard and do my drawing of a building with a convex and a concave corner showing, now. And well, the perspective drawing, that may just have to be the one that got away. I think that is all I'm behind. I think. But, I have the nagging suspicion I've blocked something out. I do that sometime.

I hope.

At this point I just want a C, so I can take my Jewelry course this summer, but really I deserve much higher if I can get my act together and get it all done.

I love my instructor, cause she is hard, and strict, and she is not going to let me slide buy. I LOVE that, really I do. It's refreshing to see that someone cares like that.

Um, I'm at the Whatchamacallit Conference tomorrow. *For some reason I reach for anonymity at odd times* The week long one, where our school will probably NOT get the national award we got last year.

It's at a VERY posh hotel, one of Houston's poshest. Everyone keeps telling me to get there early enough to eat breakfast cause it's just fab.

I might.

Um, on the stove I have a pot of bubbling New Orleans style red beans, I cheated and used some Zatarain seasoning packs. But that stuff is divine! I swear .

Ok, laundry is nearly done. I have to go draw. Hmmm . . . maybe I was a bit productive today.

Hugs.
