male tendencies take the stage.


so, it is a crazy night in the harrell household.
well, austin comes running screaming inside at like 730.
and i am sitting in my room watching flashforward like ?what in the world....? and so, i come in to the bathroom, where austin is sitting on the floor, and blood is dripping down his legs from his knee. he told us that he fell off of his bike, and cut his leg. at first, we all thought it was just a cut, but then we realized that the amount of blood suggested that it was a little more than a scrape. it was gushing so terribly bad. so my mom started freaking out, saying that they were going to have to take him to the hospital, which in turn led to austin screaming that he was fine and he did not need to go to the hospital {he hates them} so, i go down to the car and put towels all over the backseat to keep it clean from any blood, and they bring austin down.

jenna, mom, and austin rush off to the hosital, i stay behind for cleanup and to hold down base. and the grandparents {who have to leave early early tomorrow morning } met them there.
my grandad just brought jenna home a little while ago, because she has school tomorrow.
and then he went back.
and.... we just now called my dad to tell him what happened. i tried to call him earlier but he didnt answer. and then i forgot to try again. but he is now updated. jenna is getting ready for bed. and im downstairs waiting for mom and austin to get home. i made myself comfortable. i have a feeling its going to be a while.


injuries and hospital trips love boys. for some reason blood and crazy accidents are part of the male equation. boys boys boys, making womens lives interesting ever since adam and eve. : )

defy gravity.


lissy elle blows my mind. how?

summer 2010. no regrets.


this is this year's motto according to a friend of mine, and i like it : )

productivity.

okay, so the more i look into sva, the more appealing it becomes to me. it does such a good job of showing me just what it's like to go to school there, and it has tons of pictures of everything, unlike a lot of the other schools. and i like the vibe. also, i follow a couple of the students on tumblr, so...i like the feel. and, i know it's in new york city, which, is pretty cool. so. my possiblilty list is now sva & vcu . for now. now, ill see if i want to add any more.


also, this lovely girl has inspired me to do a sketched journal of choir tour. : ) since i have to develop my entire portfolio this summer, i figure this is not only a good way to document my trip, but it will also give me plenty of inspiration and drawing practice. besides, everyone ive talked to says that i need to be drawing more, so what better way than to just force myself. im excited :D


and, my dear dear annemarie showed me this tonight! haha, its got me hyped for working on our auction piece tomorrow :) woot woot!

college notes.

p.s.
on vcu- i have heard all sides. some love.some hate.some are moderate. and i have heard that afo is really hard, and weeds out the non-passionate. haha. which i guess is good, but what if im just not passionate enough?
on mica-im just not that into it. i dont know why, but...yeah.
on chicago-i love chicago, the city. and it is such an artistic city as well. and there is such a nice culture there, and the people are so very nice. winters are freezing...but, i like winter.
on looking at colleges far away-its not that im totally not interested in vcu anymore, and its also not that i need to get away. really, i dont care about the adventure or starting over or whatever. i just want to go to the college that is right for me, or more, the city that is right for me. and....i also have to "keep an open mind" to make my parents happy.

heres the mail....


...it never fails ;)
so, im looking into....

cornish-seattle
corcoran- d.c.
school of the art institute of chicago-chicago
art institute of boston-boston
pratt-brooklyn

and, vcu arts, of course....

does anyone know anything about these/know of any other colleges i could look into?

any and all advice is welcome!
