Howdy kids!
So my Spring 2010 semester is finally coming to a close which means that finals are swiftly approaching. I know I’m not likely to update this blog until the semester is over, with all the studying and essays and all, so I thought I’d give you guys a heads up! I’ll be back on May 6th, my last day of school! Till then, if you need to get a hold of me, email me through my contact form or follow me on Twitter! I’ll also be floating around Shattering Me Forums!
Later gators!
Hey there! I’ll have to write this post quickly. It sounds like our first big thunderstorm in my area! Mm, I love thunderstorms.
Today I decided to make a change with my blog. Lately I’ve been rather annoyed that most of my blog posts nowadays involve more pictures than words. I still enjoy taking part with Project 365, but I’ve found that when I miss a couple of days with my photos, I have to make a lengthy, photo-packed post just to keep up! As a result, my blog has become less of my thoughts and more of me explaining pictures. Therefore, I’ve decided to put all my Project 365 photos in their own, separate photo blog. Hopefully, that will clear some room in my posts for more meaningful chatter. (Heh, that’s an oxymoron.) The photo blog is set up and all the photos have been added, but there are still some little adjustments needed here and there. More updates on that in the future!
Anyway, today I spent my morning and a portion of my afternoon researching the personal life of the English author, Virginia Woolf and that was possibly the most depressing morning I’ve ever had. You see, I’m working on a group research project on Mrs. Woolf and it involves digging up details of her life beyond the typical biographical stuff. I’m embarrassed to admit that I now have a keen knowledge of Virginia Woolf’s sex life. Eurgh. And of course it’s relevant to my topic, so I also have to present it to my class. Double-eurgh. I already feel bad for the audience.
It just seems like everything about her life was just sad. She had a good marriage but had lots of bad friendships, had no children, and suffered frequent bouts of depression and mental breakdowns. In the end she put a big rock in her pocket and walked into a river to drown. Her suicide note is absolutely tragic. (Of course that had to go into the presentation too. Man, this is gonna be one happy project!)
At one point in my morning, I needed to take a break from the doom and gloom. So I drew. This is what I came up with:
Oh, Virginia. You even haunt my doodles.
