I need a massage.

haha. I really do need a massage. Maybe one of these days I will go for one.

I wanted to update the blog with some life adventure news. Here you be.

My first semester at the UofA is Fineeeeshed! A's and B's, a couple of gallery shows, a couple of scholarship submissions (I didn't get the Medici, but I did get some mulah from an art school scholarship for next semester :), a large scale project proposal (hoping to find out if I got it this week!), experiencing hate and complete love for a single class, learning how to weld with oxy-acetylene and getting to make a bronze sculpture, seeing things differently, literally and figuratively, thanks to my photography class, trying tempeh, marmite, king oyster mushrooms, and learning there are fungi EVERYWHERE thanks to my mycology class, gaining a greater love for people through praying for them because they bugged the crap out of me, some rockin' calves from all my bike riding, and an addiction to natural Jamaican style ginger ale from the co-op (I drove by it twice a day and it always seemed to beckon me to go inside! lol) makes for a pretty complete semester.

That doesn't include all my adventures with volunteering with the food bank, the children's literacy program, or church. Nor my adventures with trying the CSA (community supported agriculture for local sourdough SUPER ahhhhhmazing breads), public transportation, or stories with getting to better know my mom and her awesomeness. Those are adventures for sure aided in my becoming a better person this semester and a few might be delved into later. For now, I'm just thankful I survived. I just re-read this post and realized why I might have felt a weeeeeeeeee bit overwhelmed this semester. I am COMPLETELY THANKFUL TO GOD, without Him I would have broke.

I also should mention I just submitted my resume and application for a position at the community food bank AND a new crush is forming... oh the sweetness of new life adventures :)
