Study Time

Whoa long time no update! Finals is coming up and all my final projects/essays are due... which is not the best time to be blogging but oh well. :)

I'm sitting at Panera, sipping my frozen mocha any typing my last essay for my comparative world literature class. I'm hoping I get it done by the time I run out of coffee and scones -____-;;

Enjoy some scribbles that I drew on Te
gaki while I took a break from studying! Drawing is such a good stress reliever ~~<3

後少しで夏休み!
でも一番勉強が大変なときでもある。
と言う訳で今日はおとなしくカフェでコーヒーを飲みながら勉強。。。
この店のオレンジスコーンはやっぱりおいしいな〜☆

ついでに落書きを少々。。。
勉強しすぎて気晴しが欲しいときに何かインスピレーションとか湧きますよね。汗

AAAHHH I want to finish this drawing so bad! But I have to study!

picking a major

Right now I'm doing interviews with my school to see which art programs I can get into. It looks like I can get into painting and sculpture for sure, but I'm not too sure about art education (which is what I was planning on doing for the sake of getting a job OH NO) If worst comes to worst I'll major in painting for my BFA and declare a second major next spring? *sigh* that's so much waiting for me...
To be honest I think I could have gotten into Art ED easy but for some reason I couldn't find the place where they were doing the interview. I wrote down one room number where I was sure it was at but the advisor wasn't in the office and I grabbed the head person of the art foundations from his office to help me look for where the interview was being held and we still couldn't find them. WHAT.
But I only have till tomorrow till the program advisors decide what majors I will be allowed to pursue. OH GOSH I'm nervous.

Other than that the club that I'm in is hosting a Japanese style Hanami picnic this weekend and a Japanese festival the week after that. I'm in charge of bringing some snacks to the picnic and I'm manning the yakisoba stand! Woo!! I'll definitely post pictures for those!

more hemp!


最近以上に暑くなってびっくり。ほんの少し前に雪が降ってたのに、まるで夏みたい!
と言う訳で昔大好きだったヘンプを最近また始めました。
やっぱりアメリカの夏と言えばヘンプ!特にビーチとかでよく見ます。
ヘンプの編み方は結構簡単ですぐに出来上がるのが良いところ。

高校生の頃、カリフォルニアに遊びに行っていた友達がビーチでヘンプのブレスレットをその場で作る売店のおじさんを見つけたのが始め。ちなみにその人は真っ白なドレッドヘアのすごいオーラのある人だったらしい。あんな怪しい人に平気で近ずくのも友達らしい。。。でも良い子は真似しないでね!
その辺なおじさんにヘンプの編み方を教わり、その後、友達が私にも教えてくれました。
懐かしいな〜。。。

More hemp bracelets. :) This time a simple bangle bracelet
Available in my etsy shop if you're interested.

There's a really sudden heat wave here on campus, I can't believe that it was snowing just a week ago during Spring Break! It's inspired me to make some summery things, and when I think summer I think hemp, leather, and worn metal on the beach. :)
