And here’s what I made in class today! It started out as some random character with a headband, but somewhere in the middle I just decided to give it blonde hair, so now I guess it’s Unnamed Character. I also have a strange habit of drawing cats now, whenever I have flash open and have no ideas for what to draw. I decided to stick this cat in a tree, because that’s usually where cats are found. Well I’ve never actually seen a cat in a tree before, but they always have them there in cartoons and stuff.

Well, today was the first day of the art class. I guess this post will be more like an actual blog entry (like the kind you would find on an actual blog), and the next two weeks will probably be full of these. I’ll scan the stuff I drew during the classes, even if they’re not particularly well-drawn or interesting.
Anyway, the email they sent said to come at 8:30, so I woke up at like 7:15, ate breakfast and all that stuff, and took the subway to the nearest stop (to my surprise, it was only one stop away). Got to the station at about 8:05, and thought “Oh wow, I still have 25 minutes,” and began looking for the building I was supposed to go to. It actually took 20 minutes to get there, because I managed to get lost, even though I had a map with me.
(Prepare a huge wall of text in the full blog post. Anyway, if you don’t feel like reading the post, at least watch the video in the middle. It’s super awesome.)
Found this earlier today and thought it was interesting. Here’s a Touhou parody of the opening themes of Full House and Friends, using the Touhou character models in GTA.
In other news, today was my last day volunteering at the computer center. Overall, I guess it was pretty fun. I got to help out a bunch of people with their computer-related issues, and when there was nothing to do, I could just browse the web. Anyway, this doesn’t mean I’ll have nothing to do until school starts, because I’ll be taking an two-week (or at least I think it’s two weeks) animation class starting Monday.
I don’t remember if I’ve explained it here before, but basically, one of the things I painted in art class was chosen as one of the winners of some art contest. The winning pieces were displayed in some office building somewhere. It’s a weird place to put artwork, but apparently it’s so the workers can appreciate the artwork made by New York City school kids. Anyway, as a prize, I was given the choice of a $125 gift certificate to an art supplies store or an art class to take over the summer. I decided to go with the art class, and saw that one of the classes was an animation class, and I was like “Oh hey look at that, it’s animation” and yeah. Interestingly, the art class would’ve cost almost $1000 if paid normally, so I guess I chose the better option (I don’t really need art supplies anyway, since most of the artwork I do is on the computer).
Well, I got back the results from that AP exam I took back in May. I got a five (out of five!), but it’s kinda weird because it didn’t come to me as that big of a surprise (unlike that time when I found out my SAT scores). It was just like “Oh, I got a five. That’s nice.” I think it’s because I kinda knew I’d do well. I really liked that essay I wrote about pennies, and I’m guessing the exam graders did too. I’d post what I wrote, but they don’t send back a copy of the essays. Or if they do, I didn’t get them.
In other news, when I was volunteering at that computer resource center today, I had to help some people film something, and it was quite painful. It involved fighting over a piece of gum, and there were some parts where I had to fall down. Since I’m not very good at acting, we had to redo the scenes a bunch of times to get it right, and so I had to fall down… a bunch of times. Now I think I have a newfound respect for people who act as stunt doubles in movies.
