we've already had 4 successful Saturday classes (photos will come soon) in photography, collage, pop-up journals, and comic books. This weekend will be a fashion class, which i'm still researching. i'm also planning advanced animation, printmaking, and the final class we came up with is experimental portraiture. i'll be teaching every day for 6 weeks straight this summer! note to self: next year, don't schedule 2-week sessions back to back. try one week per subject, dummy! actually, i'll be gone for 3 days cuz *this girl* is going to COMIC-CON this year!! ooow ow ow!

at one point, i was teaching at 4 schools per week, and now i'm down to one, and it will be over by next wednesday. my first graders gave me thank-you letters on their last day. they were so sweet!

i'm learning to let certain grudges go and i'm making an effort to stop nursing bad thoughts. i have so much to enjoy at my job, and it's not worth ruining because of something so L-to-the-A-M-E.

e and i saw mad sin a couple weeks ago at a club within walking distance. how perfect! they were super flippin awesome! i miss going to shows often, like i did in san jose. it's always been one of my favorite things to do, especially when i know a majority of the songs.

i'm watching the fashion show, but i'm not impressed with the designers. the one person i was looking forward to seeing isn't on anymore. i thought she looked like rainbow bright.

last night was our one and only art show for our art students. it was really fun to see the kids walk through the library where their art was hanging and show their parents what they made. one of the teachers came up to me and gave me some flowers and told me how much her students loved their lessons. how sweet!

this is why you're fat.
