Finally, finals. ¦ IN THE MEANTIME & teasers

Hello all!

I just thought I would drop in to let everyone know that I may be AFK (away from keyboard) for up to the next two weeks. IT’S FINALS TIME! :O I am not sure how I feel about this fact, the fact that my finals have been spread out over a two week span. It’s nice because I don’t have to “cram” but bad because my blog may be sad.  : [

But, oh well, there is nothing I can do...but let you guys know that I already have a bunch of cool stuff planned for all of you!

...........................................................................................................................................................................................

Here are a few lists of what you may look forward too & what you may be interested in looking at in the meantime!

Once school is completed I hope to share about:
awesome art, info & past due posts!

-those tulips I recently "sneaked peeked"

-a large painting Shawn (the owner) & I worked on together at the gallery / a "time-lapse" in the loosest sense of the word / which reminds me I never shared my completed

-Figure & Still Life: "Village Barber Shop painting" / which reminds me I also completed 

-my college through the mail!  / I actually completed it long, long, ago miraculously!

-some projects from this semester / including my final / Graphic Design

-my awesometastic art schedule / for the Fall 2012 semester

-"On Connecting Physically..." / a past due post I recently mentioned; speaking of...

-tons of assorted pictures / that I never got a chance to share / parks, trains, town, fall, the list goes on

-the new "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" / & their silly end / memes

-Black Ops 2 / maybe a little more somethin', somethin' /  who knows? will anything else be leaked?

-and so much more! I can't share everything you know!

Even more, more, MORE:
Chicago, VideoPress, tutorials, 'a theme a day', a manual & the meantime 

I am also going to Chicago for about ten days this summer; it will be my first time. Boy am I excited! I may be meeting up with a fellow blogger while I am there; who knows, maybe I will run in to a few of you! I will either share a little during the trip or entirely too much; we will just have to wait and see. Are you a stoked as I am?!

I can now share videos right here on my blog! Sooo, I hope to start making some video tutorials. Knit, crochet, jewelry, maybe even some art lessons. Whether they include 'video help' or not, I just really want to share more art tutorials with all of you awesome folks! Is there anything you would like to see/learn?

Depending on how occupied all of the above leaves me, I may bring back my 'a theme a day' series! Changing it up in ever the slightest. If I do choose to run the series again, I will certainly share a post informing everyone with the weeks themes and subjects for the coming week. I hope I am not to busy; I am getting excited for them already!

Lastly, I am really wanting to get my hands snappin' in manual (analog) photography. My grandpa recently gave me his Nikon N2000 & two lenses. I hope to take it with me to Chicago, the perfect place to practice this art form - both extremely foreign to me; man, am I late to the party, or what? On a side note, if anyone knows anything about this camera, I would love to hear! Good? Bad? :/

All in all, I want to "revamp" this blog, bring it up notch! Bring more & bring it even better! Designing, updating, & sharing. I also hope to add a portfolio as well as some possible other pages. Maybe my favorite books & music. Maybe the book I am attempting to write? But I am not exactly sure if I am comfortable with that just yet. It's a story about James & June.  Sounds like a children's book. Tis a children's book not; trust me.

Alright, I have held you up long enough. & if you have read this far? Well, I have nothing to offer, technically, but you definitely deserve something. Maybe my short list below will suffice as some sort of consolation.

In the meantime - you can browse:
-my blogroll
-my webroll
-my print shop / society6
-my etsy shop / etsy
-this post / some of my 20 favorites

 Modern Warfare 3: In The Zone (Pt. IV)

The Man with 5,000 hands.

FOR THE MUSIC LOVERS:

Lana Del Rey – Video Games (Live At The Premises)

Heard of Lana Del Rey last night. Downloaded her today.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

They best have worked; I followed the directions, darn it!
In the high chance that they didn’t work (for whatever reason)
I did link to the original videos.
So, if you click the link it will take you to dang YouTube.

Hrmph.

They didn’t work.
DOUBLE HRMPH.

JUST KIDDING! I figured it out.
Finally.  : ]

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I hope that this short list & lengthy “update” of a post somewhat makes up for my possible two week absence.
Although, I don’t think I will survive.
& In the meantime…

I will be slaving away at:
-a comparison paper for theatre
-my last Geography assignment & studying for the last test
-a 5 page website (designed with Dreamweaver – HTML/CSS)
-3 book covers (sci-fi, historical fiction, and children’s -
shared with a few more assignments from my favorite class)
-studying for my Entrepreneurship final

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Wish me luck everyone!
It is likely that the next time we connect with each other I will be in “summer mode”!

But for now, I must get my little butt, AFK.
