I finally got it! And about a week before my permit expired, too.

I know some of you may be wondering if I'm even alive anymore. The answer is yes-I've just been enjoying doing nothing (for the most part, at least) during the summer. I took summer school courses to get ahead for next year, so that counts as something I did.



Clubs:

1) Who is the last person you high-fived? [ Michael]
2) If you were drafted into a war, would you serve? [ Maybe, but I really wouldn't want to. ]
3) Do you sleep with the tv on? [Nope. And I don't have a TV in my dorm anyway.]
4) Have you ever wheezed the juice? [ Eh?]
5) Have you ever won a spelling bee? [ Almost. But no. I was in the final 7 our of 40 people though. ]
6) Have you ever been stung by a bee? [I've been stung by a wasp, but supposedly they're different than bees.]

10) Have you ever made out at a drive-in? [ Umm...how about no? ]

37) Have you ever eaten dog food? [ No. ]
38) Can you handle the truth? [ Hit me with your best shot]
39) Do you like green eggs and ham? [ The book, yes. Actual green eggs and ham sounds kind of gross, though. I don't want to get food poisoning. But if its just dyed, then maybe ]
40) Who is your daddy? and what does he do? [ Sorry, people, but that is information I cannot give over teh internets]

So yeah. I have exams next week. And juries. Meaning that I have to present the artwork I've made so far in school (nothing that you've seen on here though) to a panel of teachers and they get to critique it. But before that, I have to talk about my own work. This experience counts 20% of my grade in all my arts classes.

So....between exams and this, I'm a littllleee bit stressed.

I'll probably look on deviantART in the next week and all, but I won't be in the right mood to give anyone feedback on their drawings til I leave for winter break.

Stole from Emily, who stole it from Kristen, who stole it from Sheneka. Isn't this fun?
