So how are you spending this last day of another year that's gone by too fast?

I'm sitting here in my room and just reflecting (I always do on New Year's Eve) over what's happened. '08...my graduating year...Ha, ha, I remember when I was a Freshman and wanted to get out of quickly. Now, that view's totally changed. I'm most definitely going to cry when I have to leave everyone...By the way, here's something my friend thought of for our graduating year. '08 is great!

I'll say that it's been an interesting year. Bittersweet...a little more of the sweet part though.

Yesterday, I finally finished my Christmas picture to (sorry it took so long XD;; ). When I got done, I felt like I just conquered something. o_o I'll upload the final picture as well as the files that made up the picture.

Hur, hur...I'm waiting on my shipment of Prismacolor pencils! I ordered a 132 set of Prismacolor pencils (regular price was $176.85) that comes with a free small Creativo art bag (priced at $49.99), and a free sample of the Prismacolor lightfast pencils! The cost with shipping and handling was $114.94. T-T It's coming Jan. 2.

Onto school...research papers are going to be started after Winter Break ends (Jan. 7 and it's a Monday D: ). Same topic as last year because I have the same teacher...just gotta choose a different subject.

Oh! posted it along with other Christmas present pictures that she did.

Here's the one she did for me: [link]

D< Now go see the others that she did for they are adorable!

Happy New Year!!

You know the most recent WIP screenies over in the gallery? Well...I decided to not color him...=.=; Apologies to the ones who were waiting for it to be done...I lost interest in coloring him...

BUT! I will attempt that coloring style on a present to someone and will upload it after I'm done. So it's a pretty good trade-off.

Eh...exams...so much stress...so bad that I make the time to exercise just to get off that stress.

I need a camera sometime so I can take pictures of the pieces of art that I can't scan in one piece.

D: A couple of my friends have gotten dollfies and now the disease has passed off onto more people...including me. I'm thinking about getting one by using the money earned from a job (which I need to get...Steakout's hiring for $7/hour so I might consider it?).

It's not good to have your wishlist for Christmas be filled with things that are expensive.

I got my present from yesterday...and I love it a lot (THANK YOU!!). <3 If she uploads it, I'll put up a link to it...?

Well, I'll upload my present to now.

So...I've been away for school, studying how to color more realistically, simming, finishing Deathly Hallows (I'm with the people who say the epilogue is short... :0 but hey! Rowling said she was thinking about releasing a book of Harry Potter notes that she had about the characters.), reading Bill/Fleur fanfics and looking at the fanart (I'm definitely a supporter of the couple XD; ), violin, and so many other things.

Well, let's start off with school...I actually don't have that much homework right now compared to last year...(you know what I'm talking about when I say "OH GOOD!") =.= Math is like a nightmare all over again...Sophomore year I had an evil crazy teacher remember? Well, this year is like that only this teacher can't teach but she's nice (and willing to help). Rawr...so I got myself a minion who is my brother's friend and I nicknamed him Blessy. |D b

I've got some...pictures on what I'm on...Currently I'm on the hair :0 and I've done most of the skin...A week ago I began trying to color realistically...a lot of trial and error till I finally got the closest result (around Tuesday or so of this week). ;_; I hope I can get to the result that I'm really aiming for...rawr, I won't stop trying.

OMG OMG OMG Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is out TOMORROWWWWW...!!

I think we have bad timing for vacation planning...I really wanted to go to the midnight party at Barnes and Noble for the book...TT_TT Yeah...I'm probably going to get the book when I'm on vacation.

So, I've been like an exercise freak since the end of May. I've lost about 10 pounds total and my stomach's flatter (my bottom's smaller too >.<. I'm really happy and that makes me want to exercise even more.

Well, I discovered Rascal Flatts...currently my only favorite country artist and the only one I listen to anyway. XD It's country but not extreme country y'know?

I've working on drawings and I have one getting a coloring job right now. I'm considering to do commissions/requests/whatever else you call it (it's been like...about 3 years since my last? I think...>_>; ).

BY THE WAY, I finally have a job and I'm actually happy with it. Everyday I go in, it's fun. Maybe because my coworkers and I go a little crazy. |D

I also got a 4 on my AP Hist. exam so that's good to know. I tore open the envelope and screamed (scaring my neighborhood I bet) when I saw the score. Then I got my order of two dancepads. That was a good day.

As the title above says, indeed I do hate summer reading. >_>

Next year here's what I'm taking:

AP Microeconomics
AP Govt.
AP Language and Comp.
Pre-Cal.
Zoology
Drawing II
Aiding (for Science teachers upstairs)
French III

So...I'll probably be slaving away on work. XD But I have aiding as a nothing period so I'll at least have time to do some homework from other classes when I don't have to run errands for the teachers.

For summer reading, I'm reading On Writing by Stephen King, All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg, and The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien.
The one by Stephen King is actually good (hilarious too).
The thing that is making me cringe is the freaking assignment for the books. =.=

I'm planning to get a job (again) and hopefully I'll be able to buy either a Wii, DS, or PS2. On the three applications I got, I put down 35 hours and with the new minimum wage passed ($7.25! o_O) I might get the money within two weeks. That is only if they give me the hours and wage...

This July the last book in the Harry Potter series comes out and I'm going to the midnight party at Barnes and Noble. XD

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End was a-mazing. The plot was confusing to follow in the beginning. The rivalry scenes between Jack and Barbossa was hilarious. I definitely will be looking out for the DVD when it comes out. When PoTC 2: Dead Man's Chest came out for DVD, Best Buy did a promotional where you got a Jack Sparrow bobblehead and the soundtrack for Dead Man's Chest...;_; I wanted that bobblehead...
