I'm still here don't worry!

Hey all, don't worry I'm still here!

Sorry I know I have been MIA for a little over a week, but it's crunch time! It has come down to finals week, the very last week of fall semester. A week that all college students dread.

I've finally decided to take a break from all of the madness that has consumed me the past 2 weeks. A nice thing about being an art major is that I don't really have finals the week that finals are usually given. For me its the week before where it is time to hand in portfolios and all of the projects are due.

Last week I had one portfolio due for Photoshop, a ten page paper for Art History, a paper/presentation and a test for Spanish 2. It was mayhem but I got through it!

Now all that stands in my way of the semester being over are two three page essays for Art History. They are administered online so thank the lord I don't have to move anywhere or change out of my sweats. (not like i wear anything other than sweats to campus anyways)

I return home for the holiday season on Saturday, but will be back at school January 2nd to start my three week winter class...Principles of Marketing Management. Cramming all of the information given over 13 weeks into 3. Sounds like a fun time, I know.

It's weird to think that I only have a year left in college. This is so crazy!

These past four years, especially this semester has gone by so fast. I don't even want to think about how fast these last two are going to go.

Then again I am pretty psyched to jump into the real world. It's starting to hit me that I'll have a real job soon and hopefully get to do something I'm passionate about. Every now and then I get a sudden wave of anxiety and nervousness for what is to come after I graduate, but then I remember that its just a new adventure! A new chapter in my life that I'm excited to embrace with open arms.

Good luck to everyone on the rest of their finals this week if you have them. May the odds be ever in your favor! :)

I've been able to get some crafts and drawings done this week which is pretty exciting. I realized I don't draw or paint enough, or take enough photos like I should be. It's what I'm passionate about so be prepared for a wave of art posts over the next couple of weeks.

I can't say what the crafts are that I've been working on because they are Christmas gifts for my family, and I know they will snoop on my blog. I will show you all soon though!

I was able to get a drawing done that I'm pretty proud of. I love working with oil pastels and the texture it brings to my drawings. Its so fun blending the colors together with my fingers. There's such a wide range of things you can do with oil pastels. I'm going to be focusing on working and improving my pastel and charcoal drawing skills.
This past weekend was also my boyfriend Karl's semi-formal for his fraternity. I had a great time with all of my favorite people. I couldn't have picked a better way to end the semester! And of course its always a lot of fun getting dressed up in a new pretty dress.
One more thing before I go.

Today holds my absolute favorite thing about the holiday season...

THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW aka the sexiest night of the year!

I have never missed a show and of course like any other girl I dream of being on that stage! It's been my dream to be an angel the first time I set foot in a vicky store! These ladies are perfection and so inspirational. Miranda Kerr will forever be my favorite angel! Do you have a favorite?
So bring on the wine, the millions of girls tweeting about starting a workout plan, but never really do (were all guilty of this, don't get offended lol) and the half naked ladies!
