We Made a Lot of Cobbler

I've been doing a lot of marker art this week and been making a lot of food with my roommate. 

How my week has been

We had a much easier week this past week because Wednesday was Assessment Day and classes were canceled. I've been spending more time in my dorm, cooking and drawing and focusing on a lil' bit of me time. I'm an introvert but love people a crazy amount, so it's a really delicate balance for me of being around people I love and just burning out from all the engagement. I've been trying to tell myself no to hanging out and social events that aren't extra special, since I think it's having a negative impact on my mood and work. I get really drained, so I'm exercising restraint and forcing myself to just be alone more and to meditate and watch some Netflix and draw. 

We made raspberry and blueberry cobbler on Wednesday and then two blueberry cobblers on Friday; my photography professor's daughter was in the ER and class had been cancelled so Sarah and I thought to bake him a cobbler. He seemed happy so I'm happy. His daughter just had a stomach bug so it's all good, but we still wanted him to know we had been thinking about him and his family. I love blueberry though, so I've been eating a bunch of ice cream and cobbler in bed and taking naps. It's been awesome. 

I livestreamed on Instagram this week! It was a great time; I love doing it, even though I barely do, so it gave me a lot of life talking to people again and catching up with some of my art buddies. I want to do it more, and I'm going to try to do it again this week. Maybe with some sketching and thinking up ideas for complex or creative paintings for the future. 

Spring break is just 6 days away, and I'm torn about if I want to go back home or not. I know it will be good for me to see my mom again and friends from home and to binge Netflix and bake and record videos. I love my space at home so much. My room is amazing; everything is black and smells like pine, and there's so much space to record videos and work on my shop. I'm excited! I think I need a break from how hectic and emotionally draining college is, and I'm super close to my mom, so I think having her around will help me get back in my zone. She's my biggest supporter, and she always will text or call me when I upload a photo or video and let me know that she loves it. She's the cutest and honestly goals.

Tv

I haven't been watching really anything recently except letting Gilmore Girls run in the background as I'm working on art assigments. I did start watching Collateral on Netflix yesterday. I'm just on the second episode, but I like it by now. I like the diversity in characters; I'm not a social justice warrior, and I'm not like I NEED MINORITIES, but I do appreciate when various types of people are portrayed realistically in movies. (Watch the show end really badly or be super offensive, and then I'll get in a bunch of trouble).
