new: icons, surveys, 30 quotes
Yayyy, SATS are OVER! (My school takes SATs on Sunday.) Well, for now at least. Admittedly, it wasn't as bad as I'd thought, but I probably could have done better. First few sections were easy, but the critical reading toward the end screwed me over! Blah. And now, I wait two weeks to find out how I actually did. Two weeks isn't a long wait, but I'll be on spring break then and that's totally not something I wanna be thinking about. Speaking of spring break, anyone have anything fun planned?
Also, I'd like to thank everyone for their advice last week regarding my friend. We talked it through and everything's good now, which is a huge relief because I think we both missed not talking to each other. Oh, and I just got back from the movies – I went to see Remember Me. It was both really good and really sad. I'd recommend it if you're the sentimental type. Hehe :]
So what's new this week? Eh well, there isn't much b/c of all the pressure I've been under this week, but a few more icons, quotes, and – well, the rest is in the little gray box above ♥
In honor of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's new collaborative genius, this week's song is… →
new: 8 icons, 10 surveys, quote graphics
I can't move a single INCH without wincing in pain. Why, you ask? Well let's just say the very nice people at my school arranged soccer and hockey tryouts back to back this week. BACK. TO. BACK. Do you even understaannnd how torturous that is?! I've never felt so out of shape! I made both teams, but whether it was worth the pain I am still feeling four days later… well, that's debatable :P There's only one thing that hurts more than the physical pain I'm going through right now… I kinda got into a fight with one of my best guy friends :/ I don't really know what led to our current 'not-speaking' phase, considering we didn't exactly ARGUE over anything. He said something really insulting (via text), and when I asked why he said that he responded with "I keep forgetting that I love you. I think we have to not speak for awhile." He wouldn't answer what he meant by that either :/ Have you ever gotten into a fight with your best friend before? How bad was it… and how was it eventually fixed?
On a lighter, more DESIGN-related note, my project this week was to start an icon section. It was actually a great learning experience. Making all those little icons gave me a chance to work on my coloring and layout techniques. I was able to use some of the new PS brushes I made last week, which I thought was pretty sweet. I'll be adding on throughout the next few days!
It's been a long week, and it's just going to get rougher. I have SATs coming up in just under a week, and I'm nervous as hell. I haven't completed any practice exams, and something tells me I'm going to end up going in cold. :X Gah. Let's fast forward to spring break?
K going to see Alice in Wonderland! Until next week. xx
// EDIT: AiW was rly good! Haha gotta love the Mad Hatter. Watch it in 3D if you can! //
new: 5 brush sets, 8 default layouts, 1 computer tutorial, 1 photoshop tutorial
One of my best friends took time out of his free period to splatter some paint around so that I could make some Photoshop brushes for you guys – how sweet is he? Haha anyway yeah, you heard me right – PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES! Oh, and imagepacks for those non-Photoshop users. I'm so excited to finally be putting these up! Tell me what you guys think? I spent all night working on them: cutting, scanning, editing, and finally turning them into brushes. I probably should have been studying for my AP Biology test… I swear, there's no end to my procrastinating. It's actually pretty horrible, and I have no idea what to do about it. It's currently 2 AM and I haven't even touched my notes. AND I'M NORMALLY SUCH A GOOD STUDENT. I'm pretty much screwed, unless by some miracle there's a snow day :/ But weather forecasts say only about a couple of inches of snow, and my school's been open through worse.
Okay, one more thing to say and then I'm off to sleep… MGMT IS PLAYING AT BAMBOOZLE MAY 2ND!! The line up looks amazing and my friend says she can get us a ride up to New Jersey so I think that means I'M DEF GOING! Haha I just need to buy tickets and make sure my mom's cool with it, and hopefully everything will fall into place from there :D
// EDIT: LMAO I GOT THE SNOW DAY I NEEDED! What a great start to the weekend. //
// EDIT…AGAIN: 97 on that ap bio test :) With a huge curve, of course.//
