Art Class

I have taken up a new adventure this semester. I am taking an art class which i have not taken art since 6th grade mind you! I have been trying my best in class and getting about an 8.5 on every assignment. During the last project that we had to do I had to draw a still life object and then after drawing that I had to paint it. Not only paint it but, I had to add shadows and also figure out how to have the right shadow on the objects in my painting. I had to figure out how to shadow the object, which was hard. When I went to turn in my picture I had ended up turing in my picture. My professor made a comment on my painting that you have to stand back to look at my picture. I dont know how this would make you feel but, it made me feel kinda strange. After turing in my picture my teacher continued looking at my painting and he was showing it to other people. It made me nurvous because I can not draw and everyone else in class had very good drawings and straight lines. I was a little selfconcious with my picture, I hope I get a good grade.

The amount of people that did not fully understand what they were voting on was suprising to me. Many people that I work with were making comments that if anyone says no to Propostion A then there is something wrong with them. I told one girl that I voted no on the matter and she was appoled that I would do something like that because she has young children and the casinos need to pay more taxes. I told her how it was trying to change the amout of money that one person could loose in one hour and she just looked at me like I was stupid because I voted no. I also told her that the last time they change anything to do with the loto or casion taxes and school that they cut funds from the schools budgets so that they would have more money for other things and the girl was still upset. She felt that the schools still would not have enough funding even though with the new propstion one could loose his life savings in a two hour span and that was ok with her.

I was also encountered by a gentalmen telling me that I was a commy because I voted for Obama, I told the man that I felt Palin was the dumbest canidate and that I would not feel comfortable with someone that airheaded running my country and he still felt that I was a communist because I voted for Obama.

People and their politics cracks me up!!!

Another Picture of people waiting at the Polling Place



Election precientcs had people waiting very early in the morning. When I arrived to make my vote at 5:45 am the line was out the door and rapping around the building.


I went home to Carthage to make cast my vote before heading to work. People were very cheery eyed and ready to make an impact in the world. It was a very good morning for standing outside and waiting.

After waiting in line for just under fifteen minuites we finally got inside. The line was moving very fast and people were very egar to vote. So egar they were not waitng for a voting booth. They were voting on the stage at the end of the table, where ever they could get a spot that is where they sat down.

This was my first time to vote in a presidental election and I was amazed at the amout of people that were standing waiting to get inside. I was also amazed at the amount of people that voted where ever they could not waiting for a booth or a private spot to cast their ballots shocked me.
