It's The Final Countdown

Just like the song says..."it's the final countdown!" Ok so here it is. I am almost at the finish line. I have received two grades, yesterday and today, and was supposed to get a third, but he didn't show at noon. So I guess that means I have to go to the Photography Show at the Club tonight to get my grade. So here is the what I have for my grades so far:

Figure Drawing - Very Good - 2
*it's kinda funny because the only thing I know what he was saying, since he only speaks French and Czech, is that my I can't draw feet...and I know I can't...I always avoided it by trying them last.

My final sketches from class a couple weeks ago that I never posted.

Sculpture - Excellent - 1
*the class bought our teacher a bottle of Whiskey, has to be a first for me!

Bird Bath Sculpture

Photography - Very Good - 2
*my teacher always liked my photography, and from what I have heard from my parents, everyone else does too!

Final Photography Project

Studio - still yet to be determined
*oh boy!

So over all I have gotten good marks for my classes. I decided to drop two of my classes, Ornamental and Art in Architecture. I let myself fall behind for a bit, and in order to get caught back up, I had to. I did keep the three classes I originally was just going to take at the begining of the semester. I am working very hard on my studio project, I had a little problem with CAD crashing last night due to window updates, but only lost two hours of work (luckily not more!). I don't know how I let myself fall so behind. I was going to start working on CAD three weeks ago, but I have my reasons, and atleast I got to a point that I did start working. I'll be working day and night to get done with my drawings in CAD. I want to have my floor plans totally finished for tomorrow as well as a couple elevations (the main ones) and maybe one section. So I have a lot of work to do before tomorrow afternoon when I'll go attempt to print off my drawings. I'll be ok though. I do have twelve days till I need to be done, and I can do it. It's hard to believe it really, I'll have two weeks free to do what ever I want to do here in Prague, and then almost a week in Berlin before I fly home. I fly home in 30 days. 30 days is nothing to the time I have spent here. I wish I wasn't so homesick, I wish I tried to enjoy myself when I was down. But you can't change what has happened. I have learned so much from being here. I'll probably do a post closer to when I leave about what I have learned, and what I will miss (but then you can never be happy where you are, you always want to be somewhere else).

Look at my desk! Is that really my desk???

Hmmm...bed unmade and my purse is still setting
on it form last nights run to delvita.

It's kinda funny though, since I took this dive into the world of CAD I have totally let my room go to shambles. I never imagined me to be a messy person, but now I do! It goes to prove how much a person can change, but it will be alright, I'm sure it won't last long. I'm sure when I am back home, my apartment will be that cute clean tidy place it always is (probably because I am never there, I'm always in studio or somewhere else like I have in the past). It's just hard when the place you eat and sleep is also considered my studio space. I really do miss Seaton Hall, although I always called it "Satan" Hall. I miss more the atmosphere of having my good friends in reach to bounce ideas off of them. Also to be able to grab them at ten pm Chai Break at Java, midnight run to Wal-Mart for cheaper energy drinks (I did find my favorite one at a Delvita, but still need to go back to buy some!), two am run to McDonalds, and always at four am run to Daras...we do have Delvita here that is open till three am, so I usually can find someone who feels like taking a break and getting some snackies for the long night ahead! I know I don't miss the insane hours that I spent in studio back at home, but I do miss all the memories that goes along with them. I've had some really great ones! Atleast I'll still have two more semesters left to make more memories with all my friends in our little home away from home called studio. Well enough looking back for today, time for some CAD, I have three hours till I have to leave to go to my Photography Show to get my grade. Ahoj!
