The Winter Olympics have been really fun to watch. My personal favorite is the Men's Figure Skating. I was rooting for Plushenko (AMAZING quadruple axle) but I think Evan Lysacek really deserved gold. When he was chanting to himself, "yes!" after finishing his routine, I wanted to cry. Well deserved. Though women skaters can be more sensual and fluid with their bodies, I found that the men skaters are better performers. I don't know why that is. Something about their weight on ice or something.
I feel that all my assignments and exams have been nothing but a countdown to graduation. I really want to learn how to be prompt yet feel challenged and enjoy the things that I am doing. In my advanced illustration class, we now have the liberty to do a 5-7 series of paintings of our CHOICE! For the first time I was thinking about what I actually like to illustrate. Until the end of last semester, I always felt that I am a fine artist and that I should stick to painting. Painting is still my first love but recently, I've really grown fond of collage, graphic art and design. Regardless of my medium, I never had a subject that I was in love with. I enjoy problem solving and just doing whatever is given to me.
I decided that I want to do a series of the top psychological disorders. It is a dark topic but I think there are a lot of emotions that can be captured. Something like obsessive-compulsive disorder can be very whimsical. Of course, I have do this very accurately according to the symptoms, without being offensive in anyway. I'm pretty excited. This is well linked with my psychology minor.
