How Intense

Anyway, so I started my art classes in Chicago, and I am POOPED beyond belief! I walked so much, and I was so tired, that when I got home all I wanted to do was curl up and pull a Rip Van Winkle. So, this has influenced me to consider taking the L to my class for the next 2 weeks. Problem, I've never taken it alone before and have no idea how it works. The pictures on the website look very pretty and colorful, but that doesn't help me know simple things, like which side I have to get on, or how to know which direction the train is going in. It's probably really simple, but what can I say? I'm scared of things when I don't know exactly how they work. And I hear that they're sometimes late and sometimes smelly. I'm trying to save time and energy, so any help would be great. I'd rather take the bus, but google is only giving me subway info. :/

Anyway, the art classes are fun! I'm taking painting and photography. Photography was actually my third choice, I wanted to take drawing... the point of me asking for drawing and painting is because I suck at both of them, and kinda want to get better before I go to SAIC. But photo was still fun, we went to Millennium Park and took some pictures there, and tomorrow we're going to "learn" how to develop our film. Everything is review for me, even though I haven't really done anything for a year, but I still remembered how it all works. In painting, our teacher talked a lot about random things (like how she collects dead birds and paints them) but we didn't really do anything today, we just watched her paint an example. We're going to be using oils, which is weird for me because I'm so used to acrylics. I hope they don't lose my paintings, like SOMEONE did. ::coughcoughTHEARTSCENTERcoughcough:: So yeah, one class I know a lot about already, and one class I somewhat know stuff about, to sum things up. Anyway, time for me to go now and hit the sac, because that sac needs some hittin'.
