I've had a lot of time to draw this last week or so and I've really been enjoying myself. I've started working on watercolors and combining it with watercolor pencils. Below are some stuff I've done at home. I'm also working on a self portrait as part of the AP Art summer assignment. I think it's coming along pretty good. I'm also rewatching the entire Avatar: The Last Airbender series! I'm making my dad watch it. So about every night at around one, Derek, my dad, and I all have a South African snack and watch two to four episodes of Avatar! It's been awesome and my good friend, Eliza has been so kind as to lend to DVDs to us! Tomorrow, my aunt is coming for a couple of days. I miss her and can't wait to see her. -Marissa
So today was the last day of Sophomore year! Finals are over and Summer is finally here! I hate the weather, but I love the whole no-school thing! So, after school, Aley, Simar, Suman, Eliza, Laura, and I all went to Qdoba for lunch. I was really fun, especially when Al and Suman were trying to see what the other was texting to BINGO (it's a long, terribly obnoxious story, better told on other blogs, but it basically means the guy they like) and they would fight over the phones. Derek baked a cake, and it was really good except I'm not too fond of the frosting... I have many plans for this Summer, some of which are quite imminent. Molly's coming over tomorrow, I'm having a pool party on Saturday, and I'm going to Lariska's pool party next Saturday! So, yeah, fun times! Check out the painting I finished yesterday at art:
So, I haven't blogged in about forever, I believe it was. Actually, it was May 7th. Anyway, I need to catch up. But the two whole habitual readers of this blog are now on tumblr, which is upsetting. Any way, I think I'll take this moment to recall everything that has happened to me since I last blogged. So, about three weekends ago, I went to a Paramore concert with Sarah and Aley and it was AMAZING! I simply love Paramore and they were even better live than I expected them to be. Hayley Williams is a fiend! I bought a Tshirt, which actually ended up being more expensive than the concert tickets themselves. I also lost a twenty dollar bill, ten on which happened to be Aley's. So, I ended up spending $77, which was one dollar more than the Disneyland trip that I claimed I couldn't afford to go on. Oh well. But the whole experience was super fun. I lost the money in the process of waving my cellphone during "The Only Exception", which is alright with me. Sarah's mom is super awesome. She's really funny and is friends with celebrities through Twitter, which I think is hilarious. We got home that night at midnight, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and watched Dr. Horrible. Then we went to bed. It was a good night. The next Wednesday, my English group (Me, Michelle, Sarah, Brooke, Courtney, and Brandon) presented our project that we had worked really hard on and were really proud of. We even wrote and filmed a music video for a rap. The project was to present a problem in society and then propose a ridiculous solution for said problem, modeled after Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". We chose the competition among students and stress in applying to colleges. Our solution was to rename every school Harvard. I thought our presentation went rather well, but Michelle didn't. Oh, well. The school year is now coming to a close and it is currently finals week. Two finals have gone by: Math and French and I still have three more to go, since I don't have to take the Chem final! :) I'll be so happy when school is finally over! I'm having a party for my birthday the Saturday after we get out. I'm hoping it'll be fun and that all my friends will come. This Summer will be really busy; I'm hoping to get a lot done. I have three Summer assignments. I wont go into detail on the AP Language Composition or the AP US History. But, I am pretty excited about the AP Studio Art assignments! I'm tired now. Here's the video for English:
