All Shook Up

So how about that earthquake this morning, huh? That was bizarre! 3.6 magnitude woke me up at 5am, at which point I decided that sleeping was more important than confirming the fact that I had just been in an earthquake. I fell back asleep thinking "don't forget to look this up online in the morning". Then I had a bunch of other weird dreams, so when I woke up I thought, surely that must have been a dream too. But I looked it up anyways, just for kicks, and there it was! It had really happened. It was all very surreal, but I'm glad I woke up at all, and now I can say I have experienced an earthquake. I am checking that off my bucket list.

When I did finally wake up I painted a painting that I had dreamt the composition of. It turned out really good and i'm really proud of it! It's a cliff dropping off into the ocean with a giant wave in the foreground and clouds overhead. I also painted my dinasaur head silver and I painted a doosmday clock and i'm going to mount the silver dinasaur head in the middle. Then I painted some more little dinasaurs. Basically I have to finish everything tomorrow morning and get it up to the gallery by 1pm. I'm a little stressed out about it but its all coming together in a way. I will be glad when this is over, but also bored and listless again.

So I went to Colorado and it was AMAZING weather. It was really hard to come back to this Maryland weather. Out there some days it was between 93 and 98 degrees, but actually it was nice outside. It was quite sunny and warm, but there wasn't any humidity so you could spend time outside, go hiking, eat outdoors, drive with the windows down, and it was beautiful!! Now I'm back to this AWFUL humidity. Being outside is basically pure hell, and there is no end to this misery in sight. I am almost definately going to move to CO, the lack of humidity alone would be well worth it. I can't wait to go to a university, live free of my parents, make new friends, get a new job, and see beautiful scenery every day!!!

Eyes on the prize.
