I want this.

I know that the one I drew on is kind of... inaccurate? but you try drawing the world upside down on your feet with a sharpie that only half works.

what do you think?

I am an artist.

or am I?

What defines artistic talent? What makes a poem "good"? Is anyone who has slapped a few lines together and added a few spaces an artist? Are artists relegated to the fields of visual art? Are musicians artists? Are poets? Screenwriters? DJs? Non-fiction writers? Journalists?

I don't know. Thoughts on the matter?

so...

Huh. I think my blog needs a revamp. Apparently at least a few people actually read what I have to say, so maybe I should focus on making them happy. Or maybe it will make me happy, who knows? All I know is that I am definitely procrastinating right now.

Sigh. Oh university, how you catch me every time.

Top two things that suck about exams:

1. when the exam is out of 20, and it's worth 20% of your grade, that's 1% per question you get wrong. MAD PRESSURE.

2. they are completely unrepresentative of what you actually know.
