I'm back for business

Outside of class this morning I painted a shirt, cut the stencils for the final pair, organized the shirts, and I'm working on the first shirt in the final pair. I need to buy two more black shirts, as well as figure out what I want to do with the leftover white shirts. I can probably just muck about with those.

I need to find sarah and rebecca to get my short drafts back.

Right now I shall work on the powerpoint of people's thoughts.

My exams are done

I'm going to get back to work now. I have to do four more shirts (two of which need stencils made), I need my friends to give me their critiques of my story, and I have a powerpoint to organize. Oh funzies.

I'm back and ready to go.

I'm going to have to pause this project for a bit

I have three AP exams in a row next week, I've got two other projects coming along, I've got work  and commitments, and to be honest, my stress reactions are resembling those of steroids.

I'm going to stop working on my senior project for a week so I can pick up the rest of my life and actually survive til graduation. I've got enough done that I feel I can afford myself this break.

Mr. Barker: If you have an issue with this plan, converse with my mother on the matter.

Drafting

I came down to the chairs holding two copies of my short story and asking if someone wanted to read it. One friend offered, read the first page, handed it back to me and said he had "read this story many, many, many, many times." I squashed my desire to promote my story because this particular friend is well known for being a single-minded, closed off, stubborn little twa amoeba.

My friend Sarah was kind enough to take on the task of actually critiquing my work tonight. She's a lovely person. Rebecca has just taken on the other copy. These friends are good friends.

I'll post pictures of the shirts later. I'm gunna go paint. Toodles.

Still getting survey answers

Some people have very strong opinions and it's amusing. I'm going to create a power point only about other people's thoughts on graffiti and it's going to be beautiful.

In other news, I'm out of black shirts. Also, the color does manage to stick on the black shirts, I just need to use only bright colors. I only need 4 more black shirts, so I think I'll pick some up at k-mart over the weekend or some such.

Now I have 7 shirts down. They're all looking pretty cool. I'm gunna wash them all at some point so as to get the initial crust off.

I'm ditching the vlog idea because I no longer feel like it. No vlogs for you, I'm sorry. I'm gunna print out some copies of my story to give to people. This is going to require a lot of paper.

The story draft is....

Finished. I have finished the first draft of the short story. I have it completed. I debated adding an epilogue, but I want some criticism before I delve into that. Monday I shall print out the story and get my friends to read and critique it. I shall be editing it greatly so that the final piece will be worthy of final presentation.

Man, I am just so great at this whole "getting stuff done" biz. I think I beat Senior spring. I win. Hahaha!

So to summarize what I have so far:
1 short story draft
5 t-shirts
2 documentaries
1 museum trip
1 book read

Parents say they will try to get me a different banksy book. I may very well read some wikipedia articles on graffiti. I should also organize the survey responses  so that I have a coherent presentation on that.

I am quickly learning that black shirts and spray paint do not work that well together. In fact, it takes a crusty amount of spray paint to get the shirts to show any colour at all. I may switch to only white shirts so I don't have to deal with the nonsense. Luckily my mom got me more white shirts, so this will work out nicely. I have no idea what I'll do with the black shirts now.

Oh well, I'll figure it out. Ta ta for now!
