well then
liana fussed at me for having nothing to say on here for awhile, so i humor her.

classes are still going reasonably well. chinese is starting to get a bit more complicated. its amazing how picky it can be. romance language speakers, you likely vary your tone up and down all over the place when you speak, right? well, in chinese you cant do that. saying "ma" in a flat tone versus saying "ma" with your voice going down then back up is the difference in saying "mother" or "horse" (there are two other tones as well and they have to be precise as they can sound a lot alike) so of course us american kids are having some difficulties with that. started basic writting yesterday (very very basic, we dont get further into that until next semester).

did a generic line drawing from a still-life in art. i hate still lifes (lives?). theyre boring. have you noticed how all still lifes have to contain: fruit, flowers, a pitcher, and a skull? every single one ive ever done, had at least 2, usually all 4. its weird. hed asked us to bring him stuff to show where we are, so i did. i was most annoyed, he more or less insulted auron and that is just unacceptable. he said the glow was "artistically incorrect", despite my saying that the glow was supposed to be there for the character. no, it ruined the whole pic. i was most highly displeased. hn.

further in art, i have 4 finished pics as of now: my old bicorn character, kita; sage the pterotaur (winged centaur); a random snow leopardtaur because i can; and a random gift pic which i wont go into detail on. have an unfinshed comic i might post. dunno. was a bit sketchy and rushed.

anyway, ill be home this weekend as its labor day for us americans and that means long weekend. *yeeeees*

my comp has been giving me a ridiculous amount of trouble and the quote says it all
