I've got a burst of energy today, or maybe it's just my brain deciding that enough is enough. I don't know what it is, but I don't care, because I love this feeling.
I went to my first yoga class today! The instructor was really nice, and we did a lot of stretching work on the floor, so it was easy to follow. She came over to my mat a few times to help me fix my positions, and even stretched my leg a lot farther than I could by myself. For whatever reason, I can only stretch my leg so far on my own, but when she put gentle pressure on it to try and stretch it more, it just... did its thing. Didn't even really hurt, I just couldn't push it that far by myself. So it felt good to know I'm more flexible than I think I am.
I'm also going to the Saturday Drawing class tomorrow, which is free for college-age students. The model will be nakey, haha Getting up and going will be good for me, I think. I've been spending WAY too much time in bed, and I'm tired of feeling bad for myself.
That's actually a big change I've noticed lately; in my Drawing class, I've been paying close attention to what my professor says about drawing, and my sketches have gotten picked as doing the best at what he wanted us to accomplish in the group critiques a lot more often as of late. I've noticed a big difference in how I feel about my skills, too. I'm more proud of myself and my abilities, partly because we get to see how everyone else does each class period. I don't like to rub my abilities in others' faces, but I'm miles above some of my classmates, and it shows me just how much hard work makes a difference.
I started reading this webcomic called Countdown to Countdown, and it's a one-panel format that really inspired me to try and launch something this summer. I've been working on a story idea that I'm going to flesh out and try and turn into a webcomic. The YouTube idea will be getting shelved for now, because I don't really have the resources to make it happen. The only camera I have access to is my dad's camcorder, which does shoot a decent picture, but the mic sucks. I have to talk really loud to be heard properly, and I don't want to have to do that.
Once I get done with this update, I'm going to push through two geology assignments, and start working on studying art history. I've got a test coming up in two weeks, I think? And I need to get at least an A on it. Which isn't impossible, especially considering the first test was way harder than normal, and I still managed to do well on it.
Anyways, I've got the Discord chat opened in another tab if anyone needs anything from me, but if not, I'm gonna go get to work. Bye!
