Okay so I haven't done a real update in some time so here we go. Secoend semester ended and I passed my classes, I still have to retake Drawing 2 but I'll handel that next semester.

Speaking of next semester I've gotten my room assignment and class schedual already (none of my classes begin until 9 thank the maker) hopefully they will all be on south campus so I don't have to worry about the busses. Oh and my packing is already almost done, yeah I'm STIlL unpacking from moving back in. My room has been littered with stuff I don't need/use for years so now I'm cleaning up and thowing shit out. Now I can finally use my desk!

Also next year Quoteworthy will be coming to Umasslul. During 2nd semester if I'm not mistaken. While that is great I'm a bit aprehensive about 2nd semester beacuse that is when my fate as an art major will be decided. See, all 2nd year students have to pass a "Quality Control" test by displaying 15 of our best pieces to be judged. Knowing my luck I'll be placed next to Jay who will precede to blow my work out of the water like a A-bomb to a goldfish bowl. Not to mention I'll need to have 15 pieces I like.

So now to pass the time I need to fnd a summer job so if anyone knows places hiring and can put in a good word for me please do so. I need money for stuff and things.

For some reason my acne has been acting up again. I've been on antibiotcis they have been working wonders but now I'be broken out again, what the hell?

Oh I also need to get out of the house. If anyone wants to plan anything I'm game, my number is out there so it shouldn't take a lot of digging to find it.

Alright I can't think of anything else to talk about so I'll catch you all later.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to ask, does anyone know how much a copy of the latest Photoshop will cost?
