Time in Art

I wouldn't really say I'm an "artsy" person. I mean I can get creative sometimes..., but I'm no good at drawing or painting or anything of that sort. ^ ^;; my friends are, and I'm really jealous. Anyways, since my friends are really artsy people, I got stuck into spending a lot of my time in art class -.-
We go during lunch period every Monday through Wednesday. The art teacher always asks us to do the extra projects like art contests and stuff too. Sigh~ I'm not really inspiring to be an artist when I grow older, so it feels like I could be doing something else >.> But my art teacher is like one of those really nice people that makes you feel bad or mean for saying no. I don't have enough will power  ^ ^;; to say no to her, so I get stuck into doing a whole bunch of stuff. I mean I'm not a bad drawer (pretty average), but when I see the kind of work I do, and then see Luka-chan's or Nyu-chan's work, I feel so bad about mine TT^TT. It's like "wow!" when you look at theirs. And when you see mine it's like "nice." >3< and nice sounds so lame. That's why when we have to do some kind of art project, I don't pick the same picture as Luka-chan or Nyu-chan to base my drawing off. I don't want to draw the picture, just to see that they can do it better than me. I'm better at tracing pictures than they are >.> but that can't beat natural talent. Luka-chan's drawings are very girly and very well drawn. But when she draws people they're very unnatural, like not human. She hasn't mastered the skill of drawing a person's curves. For example, the leg isn't just a straight line down to the foot. There's a curve for your thighs and then a smaller curve for your bottom leg part (> < I don't know what it's called).  So yea, when I draw people I try to do that..but I still suck xD ah my art talents are so fail. Anyways, I sort of like doing to the extra credit stuff because it means I don't have to do four drawings for every marking period xD I can miss one or two. Our last major art project for my group of extra credit art friends was painting these flat glassy-looking plastic sculptures. It was such a pain in the butt because I suck at painting. And the art teacher doesn't seem to know how badly I fail at art, so she makes me do really difficult things like paint the very detailed shoes. (since they were so detailed it was hard to paint). I also painted on a ceramic tile for some kind of police precinct. I painted a picture of a subway train. That was so hard too. But a miracle happened, and it didn't turn out so bad. Luka-chan's was amazing! She won first place (i didn't even know it was some kind of contest o.o), and got to eat breakfast with the police officers at the precinct. She got to eat at some fancy buffet and miss half of school. So unfair > < ! Oh well. I'm kind of glad I didn't ask to go (I could have had Luka-chan ask if I could come or soemthing xD). Why? Because if I went I wouldn't have gotten to see my crush ^ ^. He's a year older than me. So he does things that I'm not allowed to do because I'm one stinkin' grade lower than him. But since I'm in an advanced class, I got to go to one of the ceremony things of tutoring thing that only excepts smart people with an average higher than 88. Anyways, I got to see him in a really sexy suit-ish like thing and found out what he wanted to be when he grows up. Turns out he wants to be an astrophysicist. My dad told me it's person who has to deal with a lot of math, and is able to calculate how many light years it takes for us to get to Neptune or something like that. I might not be explaining this very well, so I would go google it if I were you xD.
Okay, back to art. I kind of like drawing sometimes. I mean it's not like I absolutely dread it, and hate my friends for dragging me into doing extra unnecessary stuff when they never do that for me...hm not that I think about it, I'm too nice >3< and my friends take advantage of that. Well, I guess they do things for me too sometimes. ^ ^ well either way, it doesn't really matter. They're good people (with a slightly twisted personality) and I like them :P. Anyways, I think drawing is kind of relaxing. It helps me get away from all the drama. It's something to do that's pretty fun. And I just love that feeling you get after finishing an art project (only if it turns out good xD). I always feel proud of myself when I finish a drawing or something. Oh I forgot to mention, usually on Mondays, I skip gym to do extra art stuff too. But since my crush goes to gym class the same time I do, I'm not going to skip gym anymore ^ ^ ~.   Before I would skip gym because I didn't like him before and besides who likes exercising? I bet a lot of people do. It's really healthy for you. Sigh~ but I'm one of those lazy people who likes taking long naps in the afternoon xD. However, since I like a certain guy now, I shall sacrifice the chance of possibly being forced to exercise for him and go to gym class. And that's a big thing because I normally wouldn't do such a thing. Not even for a guy that I liked. But this guy is just so...I don't know how to explain it. He's almost perfect ^ ^. He's got awesome grades (going to a really good school and is in the advance class), he's cute (hot!), I can talk to him very easily and he makes me laugh, and he's the perfect gentleman (opens doors and doesn't let me pay for stuff xD)! Plus he's a good person :) good people are cool. Do you think I'm crazy or selfish for skipping out on doing "fun" extra art stuff with my friends to go spend time with my crush? (btw i only spend like 2 hours with him every other day, but spend a practically a whole school day with my friends.)[so i spend enough time with them right? and deserve time with him, right?] xD sorry for the odd questions of whether it's fine to see my crush or not. I just always say I should put my friends first (and I do!) but I deserve to be a little selfish once in awhile, right? ^~^;; I feel so unsure. stupid guy problems -.- causing me unnecessary trouble and worries. Sigh~ the dramas of my life. lol xD. Drama can be interesting and suck at the same time :P

^ ^ ta ta~

Extra Credit Homework?

My English teacher can be pretty weird and a little zoned out sometimes. ^ ^;; She gave us extra credit homework to do over spring break. It was to go to some kind of website, and do book 3 of the ELA test from last year. But you want to know something odd? It's really really quite odd. When I went to the website she told us to go to, there was no book 3! > < It was so stupid. I spent half an hour looking for that stupid book 3!! Ugh! I don't think it exist...you know the book 3. I don't think it exists >.>. My English teacher probably just made a mistake. Everyone does (me for example! ^ ^ ...wait should I say that so enthusiastically?). Sigh~ but I vaguely remember her saying that she'll give us extra credit for whatever work we did from that website. So, I think I'm still going to do the extra credit. I could use the extra credit. I have a 95 in English, so I really want to raise it. Lolz, my friends couldn't find book 3 so they gave up. I guess they didn't have the motivation to want to do the work anyways, so they gave up real easily. One of my friends made a big deal about printing it, and it's really annoying when you tell someone you don't know but they keep questioning you for an answer.  I was like "I don't know if we have to print it!?!?" And she was like "... but I think I heard her say we needed to print it" I then told her "Well, that's nice...print it then. Ink is, well you know, expensive... so I'm not going to print it xD" But my friend tends to like to follow the rules a lot and questions everything -and I mean everything - that does not go with that rule. So she goes and says "I'm going to print it." I was just sitting there thinking, "ok..." it's like she expects that stating that she's going to print will make me want to print it xD. People are weird. We're not even sure if what we're doing is the correct work, so no way am I going to waste my ink. Ink is so damn expensive nowadays! Sigh~ so I'm going to save my ink for important stuff...like when I need to photocopy pages from manga ... lolz xD yea I'm weird like that. Thus! I cannot waste my ink on printing out a 10+ page test that I don't even know if I'm going to get extra credit for. Lolz I find using my ink for photocopying manga pages than printing out extra credit homework. No wonder some people call me weird (ok not some, everyone I know calls me that). And I don't do much with the manga pages. I just put them in my binder and look at them. Ok.. not really. xD that's kind of a waste. So I sometimes trace the manga pages and maybe change the wording in the bubbles. I suck at drawing, so I trace pictures. I'm a professional tracer (not something I can really brag about). But it's not as boring as it sounds. I sometimes creatively trace multiple pictures on the same piece of paper, combining them into one ^ ^ ... >.> which isn't anything new or original. I bet a lot of people do that. I'm planning on studying photoshop and illustrator over the summer so I can make epic computerized pictures! :D hm...but I'm a real procrastinator and a pretty lazy person, so I don't know how my learning of photoshop and illustrator will go...
So, do you have any wacko teachers who give you non-existing work?
And do you plan far into the future and probably never end up doing it?
that's all for today!
