This week I mostly stayed inside working on two project for my illustration classes, one that needed to be done o the computer and the other that needed to be done with cut paper. the one with cut paper involved me taking a picture of somebody outside, so I did one of my roommates on the beach posing. That's pretty much it, thankfully I'll do something more outdoors next week.

I didn't do too much this week. I pretty much stayed inside and work. I did go outside and work on a few landscape digital paintings on my Ipad. But that is pretty much it. I do plan on going out this weekend, so that should be fun.

This week I went to a italian restaurant nearby to get some nice home made pizza with a friend. It was around 9 to 10, it was dark out and a bit humid. There were some clouds out but nothing to big and threatening. While we ordered our pizza, it started pouring out and small rivers were flowing through the street, this happened so fast that I couldn't believe that the weather could do something this strange, I been here 3 years and that's the first time I seen it pour down that fast, usually it builds up with a drizzle and then a pour, but this happened our of nowhere. Fortunately it was slowing down a bit and we got out there and ran towards our rooms. Pizza was good, so it was worth it, definitely better than the chain restaurants like Domino's and Hungry Howie's.

The next day, I had to do some photos near the beach with a friend for some still lives for my illustration class. Me and my friend walked to the beach instead of driving and tried to walk under the shade, when we arrived at the destination, I was welcomed to a beautiful view that I could use to my advantage for the project. Along the way back, we were interrupted by a fellow local who asked if we were artists, we said "yes" and gave us this massive wooden palette, she said she did it all the time by giving away stuff, and she left while we thanked her. Strange and random, but hey, a free palette.

I wasn't in Sarasota last week so I couldn't write anything about that. This week when I got back here on campus Sunday night, I did take some pictures fo my "Life in Sarasota project" for Illustration. I live in the Bayou so I went out back towards the river and took some pictures of a friend of mine posing right in front of the river heading towards the forest. On Tuesday night I took a walk on one of the streets out of campus to search for a chinese restaurant someone told me about, but 20 minutes in, I realize I am going the opposite direction of where I am supposed to be going and just decided to go back home, tired and exhausted and eat a sandwich. I did see some interesting stuff on the misdirection walk like seeing some interesting stores and people along the way, it was pretty barren overall.
