Finished my junior year last Thursday. At this time of the year I would usually be counting down the days to my summer break, write a list of things I want to do and so on. But for some reason this time, I wasn't up to do anything like that as it really didn't feel like the end of year.

I've also landed my first real job which is real news if you know me...but I'd like to get my paperwork settled when I get it before I consider it a job, or else it would just be volunteer work, which I can't afford to do anymore. What I really want to know is what days I have off because as explained in my last post, I also can't afford to not be productive.
My hours aren't that long for now, but I also wonder how can do the other things I want to do over the break: make jewelry to sell on Etsy, make clothes/Halloween costume, study for driving permit and hopefully take lessons, and still have a social life.

I'm definitely still working in oil, and I'm gearing my portfolio to a fantasy/portrait path. I'm still amateur at Photoshop painting, but I really want a portfolio that contains both traditional and digital medium. I can't wait to paint me some ethereal beauties and mythical animals.

Last assignment. Everyone was so burnt out by the thesis project, we needed something fun to do: Draw posters for the Macy's Flower Show. I don't know if this is a yearly thing but this year's theme was India, hence the elephant-Buddha and orchids.

I grip my pens hard, and my hands were pretty sore. 

My class took a trip to the show itself as well, pictures under the cut.
