So for any of you who may be interested, summer school is going well. I am staying super busy and all I can say is I wish I had the energy of the younger people in class. I am making lots of really cool stuff and learning a lot of new things, which is probably why I am having such a good time.

The weather has been a bit odd lately. Apparently mother nature can't figure out if she wants to warm up or cool off. It's 100 degrees one day and 70 the next. Not complaining about the 70 degree temps. though, just wish they would stay a little longer.

Things have still been really, really slow for Kermit an it doesn't appear to be getting any better. Found out recently that Arizona has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, but on the up side we have the lowest gas prices (which really aren't that low by any means).

Well, that's it for now. Take care everyone.

And It Ended With A Pfffffffft.

So the semester is finally over, and all I can say is this was the suckiest semester ever. Yes, even worse than the year I fractured my arm and was forced by my teacher to write "I will not talk in class" 100 times on the bulletin board with the bum arm, which was in a sling mind you. Bad, bad professors this semesters. Actually bad, bad, lazy, opinionated, elitist professors with ginormous egos is more like it. Hope to have made a B in each of them (the classes that is). Got so fed up with one, I actually politely told him what I thought of the School of Art and most of the faculty that I have encountered there. So, although I plan on finishing my BFA, I have enrolled in a second degree program, which I am happy to say is not related to Fine Art, but rather English Education. I have realized that I can only take so much opinion based bull crap in one semester, so I am going to balance it with English Ed classes. So by the time I graduate, I will be able to teach English at a secondary school level. Ahhh...relief.

With that said, I am gearing up for my summer school class that starts Monday. I had to drop the second one, due to the current financial situation, which isn't so great. I actually received enough money (scholarship) to attend the two classes, but was using it all for tuition which left me no money for bills for over the summer. I don't know how things are going where you are, but here they suck and it seems as if there will be no end to this recession. Kermit's even seen a huge drop in customers and customer frequency. Hopefully all will be fine and work out, but for now it has left us broke and stranded in the desert for the summer. I think the biggest loss is missing my little brothers wedding (which is to take place this summer), of which he is probably mad at me for, but hopefully he will forgive me.

Well, that is it for now. I hope all of you take care, and keep in touch!
