personality no. 12: artist

Today I went to the art studio to complete a big ol' homework assignment. I really hate having to lug my huge pads of paper around campus so I just leave them there and go to the studio whenever I have assignments bigger than sketchbook size. I had to draw my hand holding an object so I held a little toy horse that a kid I babysit for gave to me. There was another student in there who asked to see what I was drawing and when he saw it, he said, "That's good! But why is the hand killing the horse?" I would never ever kill a horse!!! So I hope it does not come across the wrong way.

On Friday my teacher said my 10-minute sketch was "excellent". That made me very happy because a) I am not naturally talented at drawing, and b) he rarely gives out compliments without an accompanying corrective criticism such as "but you need to work on...". So that was very encouraging and next time he points out all my flaws in front of the whole class I will remember that I can do good work! I just need to be dedicated!

Friday night I went to the CORPS rally which was fun. We went to Cary Quad (the boys' dorms) afterwards to hang out and play games and stuff. I got kind of tired and Ross kindly walked me home. Apparently here girls cannot walk home by themselves... that makes me very sad because sometimes, right now for example, I would love nothing more than to go for a walk under the beautiful stars. Or a run. Heh. Poor Jessica knows that half the time when I say, "Let's go for a walk" it ends up turning into a run.

I'm not running away
But I don't understand
If I'm not the one for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Cause I miss you...

OK, apparently it is too late for me to be up. Good night you alls!

An Episode in the New Life of Sara

Well, I'm two days into classes and I'm doing fine... No excessive homework yet! In fact, not really all that much homework at all. And all my classes let out early, except French today. Speaking of French...

J'aime les chevaux!!!

Last night Megan came and visited me and some of her other friends here at Purdue. It was great seeing her again! I miss all my friends so much. :-( Other than that, however, Purdue is a good place to be. The dining court has ice cream. My mom never tells me to make my bed. Classes are fun. I'm sort of making friends...but I still miss all you guys like crazy!! Come visit me!!! Unless I have major projects I would love to see you!!! And even if I do have major projects, I would still love to see you, just not for as long or something.

Well, I should go see if my laundry is done...one of the not so joyful things about college!

King's Island!

I have finally been to Kings' Island and ridden the Beast! And the Son of the Beast! I didn't like either of them. They jerked my head around and gave me horrible headaches. But other than that, it was fun!

Yeah, I am supposed to be in my college orientation program. No, I'm not a perfect little girl. So, yes, I did skip out today and went to King's Island with Allen, Zachary, Charity, Eleni and Sean. There wasn't much going on at BGR today anyway. My group leader told us all to sleep in and call him if we needed help finding anything or lugging books back to our rooms. Which reminds me I still need to buy books. Hmmmm...

It is late and I am tired so this post is over. See all you-all's later!

party's over

Well, the party's over and I'm currently in the basement of my new home, Windsor Hall at Purdue. It's a very strange feeling.

The party was fun...We ended up playing (or, trying to play since the Frisbee was black) Ultimate Frisbee in the rain at a church near my house. Then everyone was soaking and we went back to my house and sat around talking on the porch, and eating brownies I made. No one died from them, and several people actually said they tasted good. :-)

Mary Hovee, Bekah, and Amber spent the night. They went upstairs to bed at a little after midnight while I was saying bye to Jeremiah, which ended up taking a long time because we got talking about stuff. Then Bekah came down to see what was up, and then Jeremiah left, and then we called Jacob because he was supposed to come by but it had been a while since we'd heard from him. He went to the Coldplay concert and was stuck in traffic. So he showed up around one thirty, I think, and Amber came down because she couldn't sleep. We sat in my breakfast room and ate junk food and talked about random stuff until three thirty, at which point Jacob went home and we went to bed.

Then at six thirty Amber got up to go to work and I got up to say bye to her. So I got about three hours of sleep.

Now, I'm just chillin...my room is shaped weird because it's in a corner and all the furniture sticks out into the room and we have hardly any space! It's a good thing my roomie isn't moving in til next weekend because my stuff is still all over the place. But tomorrow I'm getting our beds bunked and that should make a lot more room.

I know I don't usually do quote of the day, but this is kind of amusing...

"He's sixteen. He'll be seventeen whenever his next birthday is."
~Sara
"Uh, that's what usually happens."
~my dad

Heh. I'm not as brunnette as I think I am, I guess.

Now I really have to go to bed because tomorrow is a very busy day of doing who knows what with my group, starting at seven! Pray that I will be a good witness in all that I do.

ice cream

I strongly believe that ice cream is the best food on the planet. Any fellow believers out there....?

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

However, I don't think this quiz got it quite right... Personally I would prefer to be Starbucks Caramel Macchiato ice cream because that's the yummiest kind out there. But alas quizes frequently mess up... I know that I am not sweet to the core, no matter what anyone thinks. And I don't have a clue how the world works, much less my own life!
