Hoo boy, here we go. 87 degrees, 55% humidity. Can I just…not…wear clothes?
Guhhh it’s summer vacation yet I am up writing this at 7:30 because of the stupid construction outside my apartmentttttttt
Also I watched too much Game of Thrones last night (I had a lot of catching up to do) and Ned Stark invaded my dreams and made everyone feel depressed. He came over to my house for dinner, the last dinner before we all knew he was going to die, and my family made him his favorite soup made out of just beets, hot water and vinegar (eugh). At one point I was making him some more but I forgot which vinegars to add, so he sang an ancient song about them. Then I just got super sad that he was going to die because actually he was apparently a member of my family, and I wept.
I don’t understand how packages work. Apparently FedEx attempted to deliver my Amazon package at some point yesterday when I wasn’t there, and left a note on my door about it, with a box marked “FIRST ATTEMPT” checked off. What if they make a SECOND ATTEMPT when I’m not here? How do I know what time they’ll arrive? How many ATTEMPTS will be made before my package disappears into the void??
In other news, I’m all dressed up for a job interview later today, and then I’m going home for the weekend! I am looking forward to my summer staff meeting, getting my haircut, and most of all having some good old family time.
All friggin night and all friggin day. Man. I actually ended up having a staring contest with this cat earlier today; eventually he ceded and left.

Goodness me, so much going on here!
-I animated from a live model for the first time ever today! It was fun, and most of the challenge was just the need to draw quickly (the model held each interval of movement for a minute, so we had to get the figure and lighting and props down in just one minute).
-There’s an animator coming in to do a series of workshops with animation students soon and I am eager to sign up!
-I’m auditioning for a play tomorrow night! I know, what?! For the MassArt New Play Festival which is apparently a thing that exists!
-I’ve been working on a 15x20 sized comic for tomorrow’s Time class and it is consuming my liiife.
-I ate JELLYFISH yesterday! Real honest to goodness jellyfish! Most authentic dim sum I’ve ever had. I pretty much only ate things I’d never tried before, though the jellyfish was the most exciting.
-On Wednesday I can finally officially register myself as an Animation Major! There’s going to be a whole big event for students to learn about various majors and then declare if they wish.
-My animation professor thought my animations were some of the best in the class today, teehee! Which felt really good because I put a lot of time into them outside of class.
-I completed my first script recently, which was about my family’s experience at the Mainstay Motel(hellhellhellhell).
-I’ve gotten 20 MassArt students involved in the Molly Project!
-On Wednesday evening, this company called Cloud Kid is coming to do a presentation for all animation, illustration, and graphic design majors. They’re doing portfolio reviews for juniors and seniors, but underclassmen like myself are welcome to come to see if we’d be interested in an internship there in the future, so I’m going to check it out.
-My kitchen is messier than I ever dreamed possible. It’s been an epic, ever-expanding mess ever since Italian Friday, because promptly after Italian Friday, I started drowning in homework and Sarah got sick. Hopefully we’ll tackle at least some of it tonight but who knows!
-Last night I had a dream that I got a papercut on my eyeball which worstened into this big gash and I haven’t been able to get the gross image or feeling out of my mind all day. Aughuahghghgh
