I'm told debt is worth it.

Hello Everybody!

Haven't been keeping up with my blog (like I said I would *hangs head in shame*). 

But, I've been super duper busy with school and other life things have been giving me grief, as always, and haven't thought about it to be honest. 

Anyway, here's a little bit of what has been going on in my life. 

Halloween didn't have much going on for me as I had thought it would have. I didn't have to work which was a bonus, so my friend, Mel, and I went to lunch, in costume (I was Jessica Day from New Girl and she went as lazy batman), spent too much on candy, and then she helped me hand out candy to the kids. I got about 45 trick-or-treaters this year, which was pretty good considering it was rainy, and pretty much every other town had their trick-or-treating on the same night. Afterwards we watched Hocus Pocus, classic, and had a pretty relaxing night!

In early November, one of my close friends, Van, came home for a visit and we had a great day in Point looking at antiques as Tyler and I found horrible cheap gifts for each other. I totally won. 

Amazing mural in downtown Stevens Point. This saying really resonated with me. 

Van, myself, and Leah. I'm holding the dumb gifts Tyler got me. I got him potato shaped salt and pepper shakers. Sorry Leah, you have to use them too. (photo credit goes to Tyler, kind of :)

It was a nice weekend to forget about school and work for a while. (Sorry I was a crabby butt, and thanks for the succulent, Van c:)

For those of you who see me after a long while and ask the age old question of, "how's school going?" Well, my answer for you as of today is, pretty good.

Am I stressed out because of the work load? (which is a normal load by the way) Absolutely.  Do I enjoy my classes? Four of the five, I am thoroughly enjoying. The fifth one is pretty much mandatory for graduating so...yeah.

Next semester I will only be taking 12 credits, and only 9 of those I will actually be in a structured class, as the other 3 I will be a printmaking intern, which is pretty exciting!

Heres a peek at my artwork that I've been working on so far this semester!

I promise to keep y'all updated about how everything turns out after this semester is done. I know there's about 3-4 more weeks (omg!) of class left. 

So, still plenty of time to make more! 

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, and rest of your Autumn!

xoxo
