checked-in

in all honesty, i am totally 100% drained. these last four days have been nothing but work. except for this morning, i got to spend my early morning with my best friend, mo. we went to chromatic coffee to catch up as usual. i'm glad that we didn't end up going thrifting because that would have cost me my painting time for my 2d art project. when i went home after our coffee date, i went straight home and worked on it until night time. a total of ten hours passed. my two good friends, anne and peter, visited me and watched me paint in the backyard. anne brought her knitting supplies and peter just sat there for company. i love the new bench in the backyard and it's such a nice place to hangout outside. jennifer and my brother have surely done a great job creating it. my mom's been raging about her sprouts growing ever since i came back. i'm happy for everyone. wish i could be a part of the garden, but college calls.

i'm also glad that i brought only one outfit back this weekend because today was surely the only day that i planned to go out. i completed three more pomegranate drawings. that leaves me with only three more to go. i can make that happen. i spent the entire black friday reading and watching videos about the japanese garden from my school. and today, like i said, i worked on my 2d painting project. it was all worth it. i really scheduled my time wisely this break. i even managed to see my grandma twice and give her a goodbye hug. i love her so much.

gosh, i'm waking up in four hours. surely i have done quite a bit these last four days, but the sore eyes and the huge all-day headaches aren't worth it. however, tomorrow, i have something to look forward to when the plane lands! juan's taking me to seabirds in costa mesa for breakfast! a. vegan. breakfast. place. i seriously can't wait. i'm dreaming about cashew pancakes and maple syrup and whole wheat buns with coconut and avocado on top. give me an extra cup of special brewed coffee too. so tired and so excited at the same time. but after 12 pm, it's nothing but work again in the ceramics room. tomorrow, the holiday art sale begins though. so i cannot wait to keep an eye out for early holiday gifts.

peace,
jane
