Week Seven: The Long Haul

Okay....it's the home stretch now. Two midterms and an essay to go, then just a couple of labs, and then final exams. I'll be completely done on April 28th.

I gotta say, this year wasn't exactly what I signed up for. It's been tough as hell. Chemistry is the bane of my existence. I hate it. I HATE it. H-A-T-E. I do not use that word lightly. And math, geology, and even biology (that's my degree!) aren't much better.

Science is not my thing....but still. I feel a lot of pressure to finish this degree. I'm not even sure if switching to the arts is an option for me. Science scholarships are pretty much paying my tuition. If I switch out of the sciences, I'll be broke (and probably, so will my parents). On top of that, I work in a lab, so I'd probably be out of a job.

So, you can see my predicament.

But, I've got a little bit of hope. I've been looking at doing a masters program at the University of Toronto, in Biomedical Communications. It's a perfect blend of visual arts (lots of scientific illustration) and science. If anyone who's reading this has any advice or knowledge about this program, i'd be really happy to hear it!

Anyways, not much time for drawing lately. Here's just a quick "stress-relief" sketch I did this week.

Week Six: Ugh

Amur Leopard

Well, I haven't been having a good time lately....I have the dreaded stomach flu. So, needless to say, my motivation to do anything is pretty much zero. But, just for kicks, here's an old drawing I did a couple of years ago.
