I can&#8217;t put it into words, but it&#8217;s quite a feeling.  There was actually a line extending out the door of our polling place, which I have to say is a first for me to see.  I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of young people who showed up to vote.  Another first.  It&#8217;s nice to see that there actually ARE young people in our little district.  \ud83d\ude09  <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see, what else is going on?  Well, yesterday was the beginning of week 5 of my current 5.5 week long Perspective drawing course.  I have 100% in the class so far, but that just gives me a little wiggle room for the home stretch.  This last week is going to be pretty brutal, with my final project due just one week from today.  Huh?  How&#8217;d that happen?  Eeek!  Time to buckle down.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is Drawing.  I placed a bunch of orders yesterday, for drawing supplies, books and software.  I don&#8217;t need the software yet, but Adobe just released CS4 of their products, due to ship this month, and the school&#8217;s software store is offering the old version (3.3) to ship now, plus a free upgrade to CS4 when it comes out.  You can&#8217;t really beat that, plus the $1500 savings on the software package doesn&#8217;t hurt, either.  But that&#8217;s the standard academic pricing.  Practically worth the price of admission in order to get academic pricing on software alone.  Okay, not really, but you know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Not much else to report today.  I have all of my current project photos from my Perspective class uploaded to my gallery, so I&#8217;ll start slipping in some posts with pictures here and there to add some interest.  For now, though, I think I&#8217;m going to lay down.  I&#8217;m home today and not feeling the greatest, so methinks a little nap is in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know, I&#8217;m just extremely proud to be able to say that.
