So today I went with my parents to the Getty Center. After a hectic half an hour of going back and forth to find our way to the museum, we made it with a bottle of Gatorade and some bags of beef jerky to salvage throughout the day. It was nice to spend some time with my parents because they--especially Mom--rarely take the time to enjoy themselves. The work almost everyday, so it was great seeing them having fun.
The purpose of today, however, was twofold. Aside from enjoying some quality time with the folks, I had to do 15 pages of sketches for my Life Drawing class. Talk about a perfectly good day gone sour. I only managed to squeeze in 7-8 pages worth of sketches. Frankly, I was distracted by the beautiful scenery, statues, drawings, and elaborate paintings. To solve this problem, I've taken some photos of the paintings/statues to sketch on tonight. Also, the website will help. The most important part of the homework is finished, which was obtaining a receipt from the museum as proof of actually going there.
Two weeks ago, I've lost all confidence in my writing ability. In one of my philosophy classes,--Literature and Cinema--I'm struggling to write in a way that fits my professor's standards. And honestly, it's been a pain in the neck trying to understand what he wants. I'm pulling out all the stops in order to get that A on my next paper. I didn't do that well on my first one, but luckily, he'll drop the lowest essay grade out of the 4 essays I do, meaning the first one was optional. There seems to be mountains of work for me this week, and I'm wondering to myself if I'll ever be able to pull it off this time.
