resolved statement of purpose

• What impressions do you get of the writing you've done so far?

It's apparent that my writing changes with my mood. I write a lot, more than required, so I should learn to break apart my subjects and put down only specifics and things I find to be most important. I'll begin tearing the leaves off the strawberries before I serve them.

• How did your original writing goals work out?

They worked out somewhat well. As a person, I'm not good at following goals. My goals are always mutable and thus I'm not disappointed in myself even though I strayed from my original expectations.

• How have your goals changed for the second quarter?

My new goals are surely not as strict-perhaps more predictions than goals-and they're also more broadly distributed. At first I didn't know how hard blogging was going to be for me-I'm used to writing often, but I wasn't sure how I was going to write about something I chose every week. As I've found, it's a lot easier than I expected. There are plenty of things to write about and plenty of ways to write about them.

I've become a lot more comfortable with the concept of a blog by doing these weekly assignments and I'm having a lot of fun reading everyone's blogs and hoping people have gotten something from reading mine.

This repulsive keyboard is cramping my style so I'll add more when I get home.

I've also decided to post a bit of art every week to cite my progress and also so that I can be consistent for once. Another thing about this blog which I love: consistency. It's forced me to be somewhat consistent and I will attempt to help it to force me to be consistent by posting art.

So, this is a bit I drew on Tegaki E!

This took me almost an hour to draw and I'm not all the way satisfied with it. I could have worked on it more, but I was somewhat satisfied with the way it came out so I left it the way it was. I think it looks nice, but that the shading at its' deepest points was a little too dark and reddish for the overall light and blue-yellow toned picture. Recently I've been infatuated with classical and renaissance art and I think that shows here.

Once again I ask for critique, etc... for now, all this planning has exhausted my brain. I'm not looking forward to Thursday because I start my day with PE and end it with Geometry, two classes I'm not so fond of..
