Tonight was my second drawing class!.... and I already forgot to do my homework!! ...oooops. But it's ok. I suspect that my teacher's already got me pegged as a slacker. hopefully I will overcome this, and become a responsible star pupil. haha..
Feels strange to be attending class again. It's like regardless if it's high school, college or night classes with mature adults, somethings never seem to change. Aside from my forgetting my homework and being late to class, i got to know the other students a little more and discovered that even tho the time and place has changed, the personalties of kids i've schooled with haven't. they were all in attendance:
-the random foreign guy with a name the teacher couldn't pronounce.
-the sweet ditzy girl who drew a bottle of lip gloss for her homework, and when assigned next week's homework asked, "Can I just add to my homework from last week? I mean, it's not that I'm lazy... really I'm not! but I just don't want to draw something all over again..."
-the couple joined at the hips. From what I can tell, I think they're trying to save a shaky relationship by learning how to draw together.
-the quiet apathetic one, sitting behind the teacher doodling comic strips and sneaking food 
And last but not least..
-the outspoken, enthusiastic ass-kisser who's slow to grasp new concepts and always eager to show off their mediocre work (even go so far as to bring entire portfolio in!). for some reason, these characters get to me. maybe it's because i recognize them as my opposites, or arch-nemeses if you will... *evil laughter pursues* . ..or maybe i am just jealous that they have the discipline to work hard and aren't afraid of sucking, and even when they do, they don't seem to mind. just keep plugging along. it's amazing to me.
Why is it that all the slow/untalented kids inherit all the motivation and discipline? and on the flip side, how come so many of the smart, quick witted, talented people that i know ALSO happen to be the laziest, unproductive procrastinating bastards that I know as well?
are we just a society of brilliant slackers and hard working dolts?
yeah yeah. i know there are probably a few highly motivated brilliant people out there, and maybe YOU are one of them. But as far as I'm concerned these people can be classified as "Freaks from Another Planet"... 
anyway back to drawing, each class i am learning something new. and it feels really great! here's my first sketch from the egypt gallery. i'll update as i have more. hopefully they'll get better!
