"I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"

I love Spring Break, don't get me wrong, but what is wrong with my school?!? They scheduled spring break in the most random time! Most of my friends already had spring break which means that I get to stay home and do NOTHING. Well, not nothing. In fact, I've been doing lots. Mostly cooking, watching movies, and going on joy rides but nevertheless. Ok here is the list of movies I've seen so far during these couple of days:

1.) Withnail & I- Hilarious. But a little hard to understand with their accents and all.

2.) Rushmore-Wes Anderson is a genius, I just loved it!!! EVERYONE needs to see this film.

3.) Stranger than Fiction- Blew my mind but not that great.

4.) Pulp Fiction- Everyone always talks to me about this movie! Finally saw it, and you know what? WOW.

5.) Amelie- Finally saw it; it was epic. NO! magical, it was magical.

Ew, I need a life. Can't wait for SUMMER! ;D

Busy busy busy Thursday. Maybe not so much.

Had my second calculus test today which means that I had to stay up last night & teach myself math :/ but you know what? It's amazing what 2 cups of coffee last night + one grande caffe misto this morning will do! I'm still up!! :) & now my day doesn't seem so busy; looking forward to FRIDAY.

These pics are way cooler in person.



My sister is really into black & white photography; she took this picture of me.

Because we'd all like to be writers.

Flash Fiction? Maybe. I was experimenting with the letter format for short stories.

Dear Blank,


    The other day, while I ate a bagel, I thought of you. I remembered how you had told me once to always reflect on the hole in the center and contemplate on the fact that if that hole was filled in, I would be so much happier knowing that my dollar was well-spent and at the same time disappointed at the lack of spewing melting butter rushing through the non-existent hole. And so I did. And you know what? I realized that I would be neither happy nor disappointed because I probably wouldn’t even eat it in the first place--it’s true! But this thought followed me throughout the day and by the time I got off work, I was so overwhelmed with “ifs” and “buts” that I decided to go back to the bakery and demand a bagel with no hole. Needless to say, everyone that crowded the establishment that day stared at me as I said this. It might have been because of the bizarre nature of my request or the simple fact that I shouted this as I leaped through the door--either way I walked out of there without a hole-less bagel but the baker, as he wiped his buttery hands on his apron, did promise me that he’d have a special hole-less bagel for me the next morning. Today was the next morning. I went to the bakery anxiously, and you know what? It looked nothing like a bagel! When I got to the center I realized it was undercooked, a terrible excuse of a bagel. After googling “properties of a bagel” I found out that a good bagel needed a hole (My boss reprimanded me for this; I  guess I should stop googling stuff at work), for the baking to be even! Anyway, I’d just like to end this letter by telling you that your ideas are asinine.


Yours Truly,


Sharon.

A bagel is an important part of a good breakfast

Avocadoes are magical! I love them!

Simple Sketching of an apple :)

I love the balloons, it took me a long time to get the shading right.

My first inking project, it was quite difficult.



I usually don't draw because my proportions don't seem right. Sketching is more my thing :)




First painting assignment



I sketch a lot of houses.

More inking; I love how this one turned out.

I've improved my shading techniques much more since I finished this one.
