Does anybody else feel this way?

I'm sick of everything.
Sick of school.
Sick of everyone.
Sick of parents.
Sick of being at home.
Sick of having to think about ANYTHING....
guess this is how true senioritis feels ha!
Only 30 more school days or something.....let's do this Pacers!!!!
I can't wait to graduate!!

Wait what?!

Soooo our last concentration pieces are due this Friday.....how crazy! Better buckle down and finish them I guess. Can't wait to see how everyone's portfolios look once we're done! :)

All I want is sleep...and warm weather.

I've been running on such little sleep for the past month, I'm becoming delirious. But hey! Exactly two months till graduation woooh! I can't wait to be done with high school and also to get some warm weather on its way! Oregon, you have given us enough bipolar weather this year...now give us SUNSHINE!!

Rain or Sun?

I guess that's what it comes down to with this college decision thing...I'm having the hardest time deciding between rainy but beautiful Seattle and sunny but smoggy Los Angeles...what to do, what to do....I'm so torn! Pros and Cons, anyone?

So Burnt but So Worth It...SB 2011!!

The awesome boats by the beach

I hope everyone had an amazing spring break!!! I got to go to Thailand to visit one of my closest friends, Helen Heidel who moved last year from LO to Bangkok. The whole trip took 22 hours, phew! But it was the best week of my year so far!! Here are some highlights and pics from our time together :)

Feedback

So since I missed last week's concentration, I was wondering if people could give me some feedback for the pieces I turned in.
If you remember seeing them, one was an abstract looking painting with a heart on the right side, and the other was a frustrated looking man painted on a piece of cardboard with splatter paint on it.
I would really love some advice, thanks!

So I kind of Fell in Love...

....with the big apple, New York City! I just spent a week in the city with eight other Pacers and good ol' Mr. Rosenau for the International Model United Nations Conference! It was one of the best experiences of my life - wow. We were each hosted by a UNIS (UN International School) student and got to do a lot of site seeing and shopping! I had such a great time with my host sister - we were exactly the same, all her friends and even her parents kept comparing us to each other! Lakeridge was one of the four American schools invited to this conference out of the hundreds (maybe that's an exaggeration...) of schools and countries represented there, so this was a great honor! I am so happy I got to experience such an incredible trip. I can't wait to go back to this adventurous city once again!

I neeeed inspirationnn!!!

So I'm getting to the point where I don't know how to present my concentration in artwork.....I have so much frustration and anger built up (probably mostly from not knowing what to do for my pieces) inside but how do I put it out on canvas/paper/whatever for the world to see?
Help! I need some advice!

Happy Presidents' Day!

Hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! We've even had great sunny weather, what a plus! 

The Civil War basketball games were so intense, good job to all the players! Besides attending those games, I went on a treasure hunt at the Goodwill Bins and everything at Value Village was 50% off today wooh! What a eventful weekend!

Voodoo Too!!! om nom nommm

I had a very eventful weekend but I've got to say...the best part of it was going to voodoo doughnuts! I'm sure most of you guys go to the one in downtown more often, but that one was more crowded than usual so the girls and I hit the one on NE Davis. For those of you who haven't been to that location, I would definitely recommend it! It has a ping pong table, a photobooth, jukebox, game machines, and actual tables to sit at unlike the other location! They even had a voodoo doll made out of ivy in the parking lot! I got the Maple Bacon Bar, Grape Ape (fave!), and Chocolate Coconut doughnuts....it was all worth the 40 minute wait haha! Check it out!

January Concentration Pieces

Alright, so the picture quality is not all that great...but I hope you guys get em nonetheless.

It's graphite drawings on watercolor! My concentration is how people cope with anger and frustration.

New Year, Finally a New Post!

Soo it seems as though I haven't updated my blog in a few weeks...oops! But I hope everyone's winter breaks were amazing and you're keeping up with your new year's resolutions. Mine was to work out every day and guess how long THAT lasted.....one day :P
My time in Japan was amazing though; I spent a lot of time with old friends, family, and shopping like crazy! Here are some of my favorite moments:

My Cousin and his nephew in his new Superman outfit :)

My sassy grandma got tired of me taking pictures of her hehe

I just find this hilarious! 10am on a train...guess someone had a rough night...
