Styrofoam floors.

I came across an old Vox entry of mine dated back on April 24th, I wrote this:

I just dodged raindrops the size of gumballs on the way into my house. It was pouring rain outside, and I couldn't stop smiling.

I couldn't stop smiling because despite the gumball-size raindrops that blinds my view, despite the lightning that brightens the sky, and despite the thunder that vibrates the floor of my car----to the west is the sun peeping through the dark gray clouds. It's a clear, round orange circle.

Optimism.

Let's face it, things go downhill all the time--especially when we don't need it the most. It's hard to see the light and to admit that things will get better within time. We forget to breathe. We forget to calm down.

So that made me smile.
& I know that things are going to be okay.

We all go through the horrid downs in life. For some (like me), that downfall feels like the end of the world. There's so much going on and all I want to do is succeed. But sometimes falling hard on my ass is tiring and all I want to do is throw away my planner and forget it all. But what would that solve? So, here's me holding my glass filled with optimism and cheering with the rain. My chin is still up, and I know things will be okay.

Besides, I have a plan: I'm going to get my Bachelor's in Studio Art, but after I finish this Bachelor's degree (that's worth zero crap if not with a Master's).

I'm glad you all enjoyed my previous post to the art museum. I really love that museum, and I love that it's free admission for me (as a student). I should go more often and become friends with the security guards and wait staff. Free therapy. Heh. Go figure.

NYLON Magazine is one of my favorites. The photographs and the advertisements really pop out to me the most and draw inspiration out to me. The fashion and colors are so creative. I sketched out a picture from one of the teeshirts shown on Page 111 of this month's issue. I really love it, obviously. Heh, yay :o)

Anyway, so I have a long list of seven bullets on my to-do white board and I probably should get more started on them. A couple of the assignments are past the due date, but I really do not care. My professors aren't strict, and I'll get full credit for sure. But, yeah. And I have an exam on Tuesday that I'll study a little for but not really caring. Haha. I'm really care-less this semester, huh? Yeah. Anyway, I'm off to do that after I eat some Miso soup for dinner.

Oh, yeah, and I had an amazing workout this morning. The cold drizzle of raindrops felt so awesome when I walked out of the gym. And I ate healthy today. I should get the hang of this. Later, voxerettes <3
