3 down, 2 to go.

year number 3 at harding is over. i got home yesterday around 530pm, just in time to eat dinner with mom and dad. i'm glad i'm home.

finals were prett much easy, considering i only had 2 that i had to study for: algebra and art history. hopefully kept my b in algebra, and probably lost my b in art history... it's ok, i'll take the c. most likely will end up with an a for the semester in printmaking, and probably a b in sculpture... oh well.

i'm only home until the end of may, then it's back to searcy to take a painting class that i've been dreading- but it's with mrs. austin, so that makes it better.

at the end of june i come home long enough to pack and get on an airplane... then it's italy til august. the first of august starts the 2 week journey from italy to paris. pretty much excited. school starts again on august 25th, at which point i hope i am rested, and ready for the excitement that the new semester promises. i have 2 jobs for next fall, with possibilities of a third. one is continuing the job i have now as beckie's student worker. the second is the green room/dressing room girl for the campus activites board. i also have been told that i still get to plan a few events- so that's pretty cool. the third is a preschool job at the college church. so, we'll see what happens there. i don't see my classes as being much of a threat this coming fall, so these jobs will be good.

this year at fAlpha Kappa Sigma's 6th bi-annual "Last Supper" it was april's birthday... and as always it was celebrated with loud noises and silly mexican waiters...

the last 5 remaining fAKE members... (from right to left-nash, me, april, jared c, and joey)
a wooden bowl i made in sculpture.
my artist book... it's a sandwich. when dadams gave me my grade i had to give him a hug- he had written: " lyn, this is just too much fun. settle down. art is serious. a+"
whole wheat bread, with mustard, spam, pickle, tomato, colby cheese, and romaine lettuce.
alabaster sculpture
native american style flute... dragonfly themed with 45 yards of satin ribbon... yea.
lithography self portrait- such a lyn face... dadams told lauren and i that we could not use the huge litho stone to put both of our prints on the same stone to cut printing time in half because of the mess that andrew murray and jonathon edelhuber made when they tried printing using the same stone with 2 images... well... lauren and i have a listening problem... well, just to the word no... so, we put both of our images on the same litho stone, and printed them together anyway... my print is titled "i'm not andrew murray" and lauren's is "i'm not jonathon edlehuber" we both got a's.

house.

1305 tulip ave... the cutest address ever...
mine and april's new residence as of june. comes fully furnished, washer/dryer, sweet big screen tv with free satellite, beds, dishwasher, fridge, self-cleaning oven, kitchen table with 4 chairs, couches, love seat, front and back yards(which we don't have to mow), a driveway, trash pick up on monday and thursday, and 2 very cute porches. it's had 3 yucky boys living in it for the past few years, so the people that own it(dr. and mrs. michael kiihnl) are taking the month of may to have it PROFESSIONALLY cleaned. thank goodness- it needs it. the toilet was gross. and somehow it's cheaper than living in the privileged housing dorms... what? yes, i know... it's crazy. i'm so excited. isn't it cute?

ok- so pther than trying to even think about posting pictures from chicago... that's where you can find them. all 460. have a look, there's some cool stuff in there. including picasos, monets, degas, seruats, and come others. there are lots of pictures of the city, and lots of other stuff.
chicago was amazing.

finally wednesay

a picture of my breakfast:


i had forgotten what dr.pepper tasted like. it had been nine years since my last dr.pepper. this past week i was in wal*mart, and saw plain caffeine free dr.pepper, not diet caffeine free... i don't really do diet beverages... well, i just had to get some. and oh my stars... i forgotten it was so good.

chicago is only hours away.
this time tomorrow i'll be at the art institute museum.
and a little bit after this time tomorrow, i'll hopefully get to see my mom and daddy.

since she posted a picture of her fabulous accommodations for the weekend, i'll post one of mine.

it's tiny, i know, but that's what they had...
it's the student hostel in chicago... yes, hostel... 7 beds, 1 room, no shower curtains... april and i will be visiting my parents.
i think it will prepare me for my 6 weeks in europe... well... probably not, but it was a good thought.

i got another b on an art history test, which just makes me ecstatic. to be honest, i'm shocked at how well i'm doing in there. putting bad grades on the refrigerator works wonders.

i need to put up pictures of my latest art(mostly screen and litho prints), maybe i'll get around to that when i get back.

number 355

i only have to make it through wednesday...
then it's off to chicago...

another year older... well, kinda.

happy b-day to 2 of my favorite ladies...
happy 11th 39th, mom.
happy 21st pril.
i love you.

100% legit, and fun.

sad it's over, glad it happened.

little shop was absolutely amazing. i can't remember a show that i've had as much fun on. we closed monday night, having all shows but one to sell out. i'm so glad i did it. and i miss it already; but, tonight april and i snuggled on the couch and had tacos and watched a movie- just like old times. made me happy.

by the way, i got a b on my art history test. : )

post number 351

so, if you remember, i was nominated "amateur photographer of the year" by the isp (international society of photographers) with this photo. i received information about the isp convention to be held in las vedas, where the 10,000 dollar amateur photographer of the year prize would be awarded. they didn't tell me that i had to be present to win until after the registration date, i didn't register, i didn't win the $10,000.
