This week started off pretty well. We didn't have school Monday because of MLK Day so I was able to go cross country skiing again and only fell down once! The woods where we skied were so beautiful and tranquil. The trees looked like they had been frosted, and the fog was so thick that the corn field beside us looked like a sky of clouds as the powdery snow blended into the thick vapor.
After my art classes on Tuesday, however, that tranquility vaporized like my temporary love of winter. The ice on campus made it very difficult to get around. Wednesday morning, a girl couldn't walk up a hill without sliding backwards so I let her grab onto my arm and pulled her up! It's not that I don't enjoy my art classes, but they are more intense than I had anticipated- especially the figure drawing class. We get very little time in class to work on rather large, time-consuming projects, and we have several projects overlapping each other so there is more than one drawing in the class to be concerned about. Thank goodness for my fellow BPMI-ers. They have been just as stressed about it as I have been, and situations don't seem quite as bad when you know you aren't the only one going through it.
Although drawing has been taking up most of my time, I've also joined a bible study group with 10 girls from the floor, interviewed more potential FHP leaders, and played a couple games of basketball- crazy I know! Luckily the other people I played with were understanding of my inexperience with the sport, and it ended up being a lot of fun and a good break from drawing planar busts, skeletons, and a cross section of a mountain lion's paw to show how it retracts and protracts its claws (BPMI computer illustration class).
