Quicky

I have about 5 more textiles to go but I finished painting this yesterday and I just did the placement and printed it out today!

Prom checklist:

-took a back-to-back photo with Aaron: check

-danced to Aha, The Temptations, and Violent Femmes: check!

-made sure to say hi to everyone: check

-took a limo with 20 other kids: check (because Aaron didn't want to take the subway!)

-and overall had a pretty nice time for not even wanting to go: check

but I'm sure glad it's only once a lifetime!

Big Plate

Every Building on the Sunset Strip

Wait! Slow down everyone!

Prom is next week! Therefore, I need to get my cherographed dance moves down by next week (juuust kidding). Exams are in 2 weeks! I need to know where I'm going to college in 2 weeks! Art portfolio is due in 3 weeks! And the MOCA internship ends in 4 weeks! What a scary timeline!

However, the plus side is that I've been very productive lately and whenever I can sneak in a few moments of listening to Mark Mothersbaugh tracks, writing letters or eating a ripe mango-- I pity the people who can't even do that!

Sunday Morning

It's been, oh, a little over 2 hours since I woke up. And it feels great! I actually got a lot of work done- installed photoshop, did the placement for a new textile, emailed a couple of college kids, and been listening to Sondre Lerche and the All Girl Summer Fun Band

(oldies, but goodies)

It's pretty much down to University of San Francisco and UCLA. Each has their own list of pros and cons but talking to seniors from last year has been really helpful.

Me: How are the other kids? Nice? Smelly?

Robert (UCLA): Other kids, as a whole, are nice but annoying. Most of them are either spoiled white kids from Orange County or the Valley who wear Hollister and popped collars and big sunglasses and make me want to die, or Asian kids who don't talk much (with plenty of white kids who don't talk much and annoying spoiled asian girls). If you're 'you' here, you'll stand out just fine. As much as they annoy me in that regard, they're very friendly, and there are other people there if you look hard enough

However, I have yet to ask the ultimate, make or break question :

Is there a Trader Joe's around?

Room Reveal

My AP Art teacher, Mrs. Lee, won a room makeover. And after 9,000 online votes, 4 months of planning and waiting, and 2 weeks of having a travelling art class, today was the reveal!

Posin'

Hi Juliet!

And then after the camera crews left, we started exploring!

Gavin???!?

And the AP Art kids were going goo-goo ga-ga over the new photo backdrop and flood lights. Wahoo!

A really great experience and I'm so happy for Mrs. Lee. No one deserves it more than she does.

Hi!
It's been a while, hasn't it?
(has it? days seem to go by so quickly!)

Well, from the way things are looking, I might be a Bruin next year! Like a good little asian kid! But I'm still hesitant and a little scared.. but we'll see.


And lately I've been painting up the wahhzooo (I need about 12 more pieces by May 9th!!! Scary!)


This month is shaping up to be a busy one- several MOCA events, crunch time for artwork (hello 10 hour school days!), prom (oh gee!), college visits, and all the other in-betweens. It's an exciting time!
