It's Good to Be Back

I'm starting my secound full week of classes tomorrow. I find it's kind of hard to get back in the swing of things. I like all my classes so far, they seem like they are going to be a lot of work though. I'm taking Illustration techniques, Advanced Figure Sculpture, Printmaking, Ancient and Medeval Art History, Boston Skecthbook, and Psychology. And I'm back working at the library. Wednesdays and Thursdays I'm at school either in class or at work for at least 12 hours.

I unpacked the last box in my apartment on Friday. It feels so nice to be a little more settled. It still doesn't really feel like home. A lot of windows still need curtains, the oven isn't working right now (the landlord said it would be done in a week about 2 weeks ago :S), and we have this one room that compleatly empty that I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with yet. We're thinking about useing it as a studio space.

I put my Netflix on hold for the semester and started renting a ton of movies from the library. I watched Howl's Moving Castle for the first time. I didn't think I would like the story, I really just rented it because Hayao Miyazaki is supposed to be a fantastic animator. Anyway I loved it. I rented East of Eden and Lawerence of Arabia too, but I haven't watched them yet.

I'm glad you liked Howl's Moving Castle...I love the animation...and soundtrack...and the story too, though it is a bit strange...the book's plot makes much more sense!!!

I am jealous of your Art classes. And I also love that you liked Howl's Moving Castle (I was going to write Howl, but I would confuse myself with the book by Ginsburg). I suggest (highly) Princess Mononoke-- the story, music, and art are all amazing (it was supposed to be Miyazaki's going away piece, but... it... wasn't?).

Lots of <3
