Update

Hey Everyone!



Sorry I haven't written an update in awhile! I started my fall semester of school a couple weeks ago and its going great so far!



I'm taking 5 classes this quarter since I only took 3 last quarter. I'm taking Fundamentals of Sketching which is really easy for me so far.

Here is what we have been working on so far:

These are flats that we had to do for homework!

I'm also taking Critical Thinking, Math, American Political and Economic History, and Effective Speaking. I like the context of my Critical thinking class but I don't like the teacher. She is so spacey and mousey... I can't handle it. My Math class is great, my teacher is AMAZING! I'm so glad that Hildur recommended her to me. Her class is very structured and you always know exactly what is going on. American Political and Economic History is really interesting... the class makes me feel dumb though. I've never really had an actual "History" class (at least not since elementary school) and my teacher always asks us questions at the beginning of class kind of as Trivia. He'll ask us a question from Pop Culture (like where do the Simpsons live? Springfield) and then ask us a question from history (who was our first president? George Washington). So many of the questions I didn't know the answer to. I feel like I'm learning a ton though... Like that Hitler was an artist before he was ever Chancellor of Germany. Here is (supposedly) one of his paintings:

I actually really enjoy this class... though it can get a little long (my teacher just lectures for 3 hours...)

My Effective Speaking class was the class that I was most worried about. I HATE public speaking. This week we had to do a personal speech so I told my "SIX" story (if you've heard it, you know what I'm talking about) and it went off without a hitch! Everyone said I was very animated and had perfect pace and timing! So I'm a lot less nervous now...

I've been thinking a lot about Christmas lately... yes, I realize that it is only October but I LOVE Christmas! I love the decorations and the food. :) Unfortunately, I won't be able to come home because Noah has to work... So we will be having our very first Christmas alone. But I think we might get a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree and make a feast and watch Elf!

I'm already working on a Christmas list!! :)

What is on your Christmas List??

XoXo,
