So I am done with the first week of my last summer of classes (for a long time at least!!) I have four weeks left to go... YAYAYAYAYAYY!!! This last week was the second half of an art class (we did the first half last summer) and while I LOVE the professor... the class was kind of lacking. I got a lot out of her first class and was looking forward to taking that stuff a step further, but she spent more time reviewing, which I found boring. Also we had a huge project that is due Monday AND the next class gave us pre-homework (that should be illegal!!) for Monday... I have had not-much weekend this weekend.
One thing that I did find amazing was a project that I did for the class. We had to take a black and white photograph and turn it into a pencil-drawing. My brother is by far the artist in the family, and I honestly have always felt that I didn't get any of those genes...so to say that I think my drawing is awesome is saying a lot! It is being graded right now, but I will try to post pictures of it (I know I keep saying that, but I actually found my camera, so I WILL do it sometime!)
The other thing I loved about having class again is getting to hang out with my friends every day. With Jessica going to Africa and Marci having a newborn soon, and me moving to Estes... I know we aren't going to get this kind of friend time anytime again soon. So I am definitely enjoying it while I can! I also enjoyed my homework-break to go to Jeffeckle's birthday party this weekend. Marci threw a suprise party and it was awesome!! Happy Birthday Snarf!!! :) Yay for Famous Dave's!!
So the other excitement around here was my poor Pupperdog getting a sliver in his eyeball. Yes it was as icky as it sounds. Friday morning I noticed it was kinda weepy and he was pawing at it. He's had doggy-pinkeye in the past, so I didn't think much of it, but when I went to put the gook in his eye that afternoon I noticed what I thought was a scratch on his eye. I'm ok with cut paws and such... but eyes I don't mess around with, so off to the vet we went. She stained his eye and saw there was actually a sliver in the cut so she had to sedate him and get it out. He was NOT a happy camper. Luckily the eye is looking much better now (although the medicine for the inflamation gave him upset tummy!) so hopefully he will get a clean bill of health when she checks it again on Friday.
The only other thing around here is dreaming/planning for Estes Park. I have been looking at real estate online and found this adorable house.

It is 16 miles from the elementary school, and I have no idea what kind of drive that is in the mountains... so I will have to go up and explore. I also was not planning on buying something right away... but who knows! It is certainly much more fun to think about than school :)
Ok... I should stop procrastinating and get on with reading the crap for tomorrow. The end is in sight!! :)

Polls, while the artist (drawing) gene seems to have skipped both your mother and me, I did have an uncle who did amazing sketches and cartoons. In fact, he could make two sketches at the same time, one with each hand! So maybe you and Dan got a little of his DNA. Glad Sherlock is doing better. Much love from Westcliffe!
Yay- looking for homes!!! Depending on how long you plan to stay there and what mortgage payments vs rent would be...it may be a good idea :o) I LOVE the wood floors, cabinets, deck and views! Looks like a really cute place. The snow removal thing sounds good- especially for the area. Maybe they would leave the hot tub?? Can I come visit?
Of course you can come visit!! :)
Poor Doopers!!
I teared up reading that. Poor baby.
