Two posts in a row...

Around 8 am:

This is history in the making.

Okay, not really. But Its not usual for me to post two days in a row and you guys know that.
i have sunday school today. Its not bad once you've had a bar mitzvah because they let you pick an elective to do for a third of the day. I did Yiddish first semester, which was really confusing but now it's over. I'm currently taking "Judaica Watercolor."
It's pretty cool but its not really "Judaica." The teacher is just telling us how to do washes and gradients. It's really fun for an art geek like myself.

This woman is a profesional watercolorist and she told us last week that next we're actually doing a judaica piece. She says that her judaica paintings actually sell the fastest, and I know she's really good at what she does.

Anyways, the morning is always exciting but afterwards is a little more difficult. This other teacher is using this book from the 90's about comparing the religions of the world to judaism. She makes us do "current events" and then each week she gives us a quiz on the current events, which is bad..... I'm really unorganized on the weekends and will probably forget to do a current event when it's my turn.

While cleaning my desk for the millionth time this week i found some brass beads left over from an old project. I'm going to see if I can go to Michael's after Sunday School and after I finish my algebra homework.

I might post more later.

Sundays are so monotonous, and I'm kind of dreading my voice lesson tomorrow.
Can it be Saturday again, please???


Peace, Love, and Calvin Klein argles.

12:50 am.

I hate winter.

It was raining AND there was snow AND it was icy.
Today during watercoloring Alleya asked me about Colorguard and I had one of those sudden sparks where you remember something. I went to Colorguard with Lacy a few weeks ago and they want to know if I'm coming back because they're doing flagwork today. I told Alleya that I was busy, but it's almost out of embarrassment I'm not going.
I wore jeans and converse to the first meet, and they said "no jeans, no converse."

The problem with being a nerd, in this situation, is that I'm not particularly into sports and so the only athletic clothing I own ends up in my locker for Gym.
Its not exactly 'cool' to show up in a shorts that say FRANKLIN MIDDLE SCHOOL on one leg to Central High School.
Anyways, now I'm all self conscious.

The Judaica watercolor thing is going well. I settled on using this postcard of a pear tree, which was detailed and majorly over complicated, as a basis for my painting. My sketch was simplified, so no big deal. I'll be able to get a lot done next week, which is Purim.

The teacher wants us to put on a little skit about Purim for the third graders, but knowing the attention span of our class I doubt it will ever happen.

At my synagogue, we have a big carnival with games and food and cheap prizes...I used to love it,now i'm manning a booth. It's next week and I'm probably going to throw together a lame costume.
I liked doing face painting last year so hopefully I won't be as bored, but it won't be the same without Ruth there.

I love all these minor holidays. I hate winter. That is all.
