Work-in-Progress

So I'm making the switch for a moment. I'm a temporarily-satisfied type of person. Poetry made me happy for awhile, music made me happy for awhile, and now I'm on to painting. It's sort of a cycle.

Unfortunately, painting is what I'm least skilled at. So this is what I'm working on. It's going to be a gift for someone, so I don't want to make it bad...

It's only about halfway done, maybe two-thirds. So don't judge too harshly..

But I'm open to suggestions.

Basically: This friend and I are in Algebra 2, and we've both had to find ways to make math less mind-numbingly boring.

The message is "Use your imagination"...

Tell me what you think, eh?


Altogether:


The Earth and start of the arrow:



Desk to Earth..


Thought bubble!!

Umm. Yeah.

Okay. So maybe I can cut back on sleep.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not whining. I mean, I love what I'm doing. I absolutely
love it. I can't remember a time when I've ever been happier. Seriously. But the thing is, my body doesn't really care if I'm happy. Notice I didn't include cooking and eating on that list? I have to do those things, but I can't find time. As I'm doing this, I'm also doing an assignment for Alg2 and trying to think of what I want on my sandwich for dinner.

Bottom line: My body is ceasing to function well. I can't do all of this and continue to work properly. I need a break really bad, but where in the world am I going to find the time?

I love you all so much. So very very much.
