 Went to the art store and browsed for a while.  Didn't really get around to buying anything.  The owner of the store seemed a little agitated for some reason so I left shortly after I came in.  
I did, however, go to the library and pick up some books on different painting techniques.  I think that I am going to try out some of them over the next few days, see if I get an results.

The break from classes is finally here.  It is quite relaxing, not having to deal with teachers, classmates, and pointless papers.  I am continuing with my painting, however, in order to keep in practice.  I have heard that there is a paint shop close by and plan on going there.  I may purchase more paints, I may simply browse, I'm not quite sure yet what I want to do...

 Turned in the painter report yesterday.  I'm fairly confident that I will get a decent grade on it.  At the least I should get a C.  I could ask my professor about oil paints, but somehow I don't think that she is all that knoweldgable about the different mediums....  

There is a break coming up, I think that I shall enjoy that that.

Not much to say, just that I've almost done with this report.  Seems like I am going to pull an all-nighter to get this thing done.  
Other than the paper, my classes are going just fine.  I've been wanting to expand the types of paints that I use.  At the moment I only use watercolours... I was thinking about picking up oil painting, but admittedly, I'm not sure where to start with oils...

Not that much to say about today.  I've been putting off doing the research paper that the art professor assigned.  I really don't see the point in writing a paper in a painting class.  I mean, aren't we supposed to be learning how to paint, not how to write papers about other painters?  ... Gah... sorry about that.  Guess I am starting to get stressed out.  Perhaps I should go to the gym and work some of my agression out...

I'm working on getting my dorm room sound proofed.  I don't think that the people in charge of housing will be too happy about it, but hey, what they don't know won't hurt them.  I've been listening to music on headphones and I've been wanting to sing along, but obviously can't.  Does anyone know of a good place to go where music is allowed?

I find myself tempted to sing more and more each night.  I know that I can't because of the music ban, but still.  I don't know why I don't just do it anyway.  Perhaps it is my more submissive side getting the better of me...  I want to sing in a band again.  I miss those days in which I had a mic in my hands in those dark clubs that the band would play at...  If only I could find a group that needed a singer.

Today was my first painting class at the University.  It wasn't quite so bad as I thought that it would be.  The professor didn't ask too many questions and most of my classmates stayed away from me.  Well, except for this one guy who kept looking over my shoulder to see what I was sketching, but I just glared at him and he left me alone.  One thing that the professor did ask me was why I seemed to favor items with butterflies on them.  Thought that I really liked them.  I told her she was wrong and that I hated them.  She seemed a bit taken aback.  I don't think she will be asking me any more questions from now on.  That will be nice.  I don't like being asked questions, especially by people who I don't think deserve to know the answer.
