Long Update

Sat Oct 11, 2008, 11:25 PM
First I want to apologize to my watchers for not submitting any new works and thank for being so patient to those who are still watching me. :bow: I guess I have to explain now what has happened so far since my last update (to those who are interested)...

The reason why I'm not sending my digital drawings is because they are not finished (simple as that :blushes:). I was hopeful to finish some during my summer holiday, but everything I did was resting and drawing new sketches. I know I am pathetic and should be more motivated since I am planning to relate my career with CG art, but for some unknown reason I just can't use my free time efficiently. =( However, I had the best summer ever spending about 3 months back in Lithuania, visiting beautiful places of my country, being with my family, sleeping, and eating a lot of Lithuanian food. :D Of course the best before leaving my home country was going to Bjork concert in Vilnius. :love: Unfortunately, as everything else that is so good these three months didn't last forever...

My second year at the university started in the end of August. This semester I'm taking Painting II, Drawing II, Digital Art Basics (since I don't know enough about Photoshop), American History (last semester it was a real pain, but now it seems just fine due to a better professor), and 20th Century Art (interesting, but should have started from studying earlier art for better understanding). Our painting and drawing professor (=advisor) disappeared this semester, so she was replaced by a younger and more ambitious one from another state. She's very into abstraction and modern art, which is quite interesting since her teaching methods are totaly diferrent from our previous professor's. I'm taking less credits this time, but I get to sleep more :w00t: (except before exams ^^;). Anyway, my grades are quite good so far, and I'm learning lots of useful stuff. :nod: However, I have that bad feeling that next semester is going to be the opposite of this one (because time-consuming courses like American literature, speech, and art crafts are still waiting to be taken). :worry:

Right now I have a short fall break, but there are just too many things to do for my studies so I'm not sure when I'm going to finish my drawings. I feel so overwhelmed at the moment, and it's already past midnight...
Thanks for your attention and sorry for disappointing you (I'll try to do my best in creating art, but I'm not sure if you'll see the results very often). Well, I should me more positive about myself and stop complaining already.
And you be positive about yourself as well (in case you lack self-confidence like me). :hug:
Keep creating and being happy! :)

  • Mood: Thanks

Jei niekaip nepavyksta issiusti savo darbu, tai bent jau journal reikia atnaujint ir issipasakot kas grauzia sazine... ;P

Nesu labai didele optimiste, bet tikiuosi, kad kaip nors susitvarkysiu ir sveikatos labai nesusigadinsiu. Nors kai pagalvoju, kaip bijojau palikti Lietuva ir isvykti mokytis i svetima sali, dabar ne taip ir blogai viskas atrodo (gal del to, kad pirmi metai taip greitai praejo). ;)
Sekmes ir tau baigiant paskutinius metus mokykloj. :D

what's lithuanian food like?

Delicious! ;) Especially fresh-baked and still warm rolls with jam filling. :drool: In Lithuania we have some specific products that I haven't been able to find in the U.S (like curd, black rye bread, specific type of lettuce, and various kinds of mushrooms that you can gather in a forest). To me most American dishes are too spicy since I used to eat mild food at home (maybe it's so spicy just in southern states? :unimpressed:). Of course there are quite many products that are similar (imported products, vegetables, fruit, grain). What I liked the most in Lithuania was that you could get fresh vegetables and fruit right from your own garden (while here you have to own a whole farm to grow something). Some things are quite different in my country (maybe because it is so small and there is quite a huge difference in cultures). :nod:
:iconjamirooo:
sounds yummy! :drool: should go there sometime just to sample the food =D
i wouldn't say american food is all that spicy. well west coast isn't. i guess the south would have some pretty crazy things.
=D i do love the idea of having a little garden. i'm inspired to plant one next year!

:giggle: Well, I haven't travelled all the U.S. yet so I don't know much about American food. ^^; What is your favorite food/dish? (I'm just trying to find something wholesome & tasty to enrich my recent diet :P)
