Catch Up.. To My Sanity?

So, I haven't really been able to update at all on this blog because of an overload of school work, but I have some extra time this week, hopefully, so I'll be catching up on posting about my sketchbook research and studio art pieces that I've done so far. I'm really starting to miss being able to read and write in my free time so I've been procrastinating on certain things (which is bad) in order to have quiet time to think, other than in the shower of course. Preferably at my laptop where I can type. 

Pinterest has gotten a hold of me and won't let go. So many cool things to do and see, and absolutely no freaking time to do any of it. I'll just have to be content with just looking at all of the crafts and projects that I want to do and pull all of the satisfaction I can out of "that would be so awesome if I could do that" and be done with it. Besides, I don't have enough room to put any of the things I see on Pinterest. My closet can attest to that.

I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road in my English Lit. class and I really liked it, despite all of the gloom and destruction. I loved how the boy was humane and good in such a grim and dark world and always showed kindness to strangers. Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book, I'll post any others if I can think of them:

"They set out along the blacktop in the gunmetal light, shuffling through the ash, each the other's world entire." - Cormac McCarthy, The Road
