Peekaboo

Yeah, sorry.
Truthfully, this week has sucked.  I'll post some more soon.  (I do have plenty more!)  I kinda just slacked on homework this weekend.  It was Halloween, after all.  (Both an excuse and a legitimate reason!)

Ketchup

Today, the application for JET Programme (Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme) became available.  I only spell it that way because that's how it is on their website.  (Yes I did just check.)

*sigh* Even Pangolin scored higher than I did on the "How Asian are you?" test.

I think it would be incredibly amazing to get to teach in Japan!!

Today, I also biked to Goodwill in hopes of purchasing overalls:

Note my lack of blue and my lack of overalls.

Apparently, they'd had several pairs just last week.  Curse you, fellow Halloween-costume-shopping-procrastinators!  Oh well.  The hat and mustache should do the trick anyhow.

I've been wearing a little bit of makeup to church for the past couple of weeks.  I creep myself out widening my eyes at myself whenever I have to put on mascara...

This weekend, I am . . .

Funfun

I bought a cute jacket for cheap, attempting to snazz up my wardrobe a bit.  I didn't know, but apparently it's stylish to have sleeves showing from out under the 3/4 sleeves, especially if they're cute/stripey.  I'm learning so much.

Also, I had fun accentuating Alice Cooper's facial shape last time, so I decided to do a sort of caricature of the only subject I know who won't complain about it:

Shout out!

He told me I should go to an Alice Cooper concert, and I'm not sure whether he was serious or whether he simply wanted me to draw Alice Cooper.  So just in case it was the latter:

Catching Up

The best laid plans of mice and men . . . sigh.

I got absolutely no homework done today, and that is the fault of:

The Big Bang Theory

 Seriously.  Watched most of season 2 with every intention of being productive today, but lost track of time and honestly wasn't trying all too hard to begin with.  I probably looked like this most of the time:

...except when I was laughing.

 Completely unrelated:
I want to make a Kim Pine costume.  I figure if I learn her drum parts from the movie, it'd be super legit.  Of course, the earlier portion of this post comments on how excellent I am at following through with things.

Nostalgia

In high school, I tried out fashion design for AP Studio.

I wanted to see if I could do something like that again.
Eh.

Pikachu!

I think my scanner hates EVERY medium....
I just felt like using watercolors.  Yay Crayola!

Should I pop this thing?

[One of my favorite movies!]

Yay, I'm a llama again!

...Wait...

FAIL.

(1) Daily is hard :(
(2) Bombed my midterm, pretty sure.

Thinking about the future...

...was actually quite fun!
The Career Fair made me really excited for life after college.
And it was pretty fun to actually feel like an adult.  (Without having to pay bills and whatnot.)

I wanna be a high school biology teacher!

The Futureheads

were AMAZING.

My scanner still hates pencil....
Based on a picture I took, cos we were really THAT CLOSE to them!

TL;DR

My posts are too long.
My bangs share this characteristic.

This is why I have bangs.

Lingering thoughts...

My thoughts are still centered on how amazing General Conference was....
Dinner arrangements Saturday evening:

I may not understand all the quotes and inside jokes that went on at the other table, but Tony and I had some good conversation too, I'll have you know.  :)

All good things...

...must come to an end.
That's okay, I understand that point of view (though I don't necessarily agree with it; you have eternal life, etc. out there).  My question is: WHY MUST THEY END SO QUICKLY?

I'm still in super-happy mode from Conference and getting to see everyone.  BUT I'm also going through minor withdrawal after being separated from these people I've come to rely on.  (Yes, it's only been one day, but I do whine a lot.)

[A friend decided to write in captions.]

Conference Weekend

All in one go!
Let's start with Friday: A 12-hour drive to Utah with three amazing people, psyching ourselves up for the spiritual and social feast in which we were about to partake.  Limited internet access meant I didn't have pictures to reference, so I'm not sure everyone's recognizable... but these were the people with whom I was going to hang on Saturday :)

Saturday: General Conference, morning session.  A spiritual booster shot.  (I didn't want to try to draw any of the general authorities for fear of mangling them....)  Pictures and posters and books (and CTR rings!) were fairly cheap, so we splurged a little bit.  After, Cafe Rio for the first time: delicious.  And the company wasn't too shabby either (see above).

Sunday: Watched Conference from a friend's brother's house.  His kids are SO unbelievably adorable.  I kind of wanted to keep one for myself....  The three-year-old wanted his dad to count (nine) coins with him, and this was the typical sequence as he laid one coin down on the couch at a time:  "One... two... four... five... four... three... eight... nine... EIGHTEEN!"  Actually, the first few times he ended with "twelve," but I think he wanted an even bigger (and thus better) number after a while.
