Thanks Chimborazo!
The olive oil recipe sounds nice! I'll have to try that sometime. When I was a (younger) child, I used to eat tomatoes only in salads or it would require sugar sprinkled on top! [:D]
Well, I'm back now. All last night I worked on my project, and finished it at about 8:30 AM this morning just 30 min before the semester end evaluation/jury reviews. The building I was working on turned out relatively well. However, they didn't specify what particular drawings we should pin-up. The professor just said, Some of your best ones, the kind that make the hair on your neck stick up.
So, I did it. I posted many building drawings that I deemed to be good work, but also I pinned up my mystery painting. It is a watercolor painting of a young naked college model whose name will forever remain anonymous.
Only three of my friends knew of its existence, and never thought I'd have the balls to pin it up. I posted it, and walked away as it was the last thing I posted. As I walked away, I looked back to see about 60% of the people in the courtyard immediately crowded around my postings to see it. Immediately I heard people giving it mixed responses, and I just said, "Hey, don't knock it, it's ART!" They all just stared at it. Some in disbelief, some in awe.
We were all instructed to leave the courtyard where they closed some tall dividers to keep us from seeing what they were doing, so my friends & I ran up to the upper tier to talk, and we saw the professor & T.A. discussing things about it. They liked it clearly, but I later heard word from the Teaching Assistant's friend that it wasn't chosen for public display due to its controversiality, but it was most definitely deemed exceptional. I think I pulled about a B or B+ overall in that class!
I pulled an "All Nighter" again, that's one AN'er on tues-wed then 4 hrs sleep wed. night, and another AN'er last night. I have had VERY little sleep in the past week, and am currently running on fat reserves & adrenaline.
As far as the apartment goes, I'm moving in this month. Tonight as a celebration I'm going to buy some 409 & other cleansers & scrub the cr@p out of my new apt then sometime within the next week or so I'll move in! It will be SO nice to get finals week over, and move into the new apartment.
