Not that anyone looks at this journal anyway.

Anyway, I survived student teaching, passed all my courses with flying colors, made Dean's List, and got my teaching license! Whoohoo! Now all I need is a job. Mom keeps pressuring me to work for a Catholic school, and it is driving me nuts. I have nothing again Catholic schools, it's just that private schools pay much less then state and they have fewer benefits. In all honesty, I can't afford to work for one unless I keep my job at the craft store. And I know that will lead me to a mental break down. I have to admit, it almost happened while a few times while I was student teaching this past semester. Don't want to put up with a few years of that crap.

In other news I also have a Facebook account. Yep it's official. Hell froze over. Also since I so much free time now, I've been reading and playing games again. I have a few idea's for sculptures I wake to try out because I want to play around with a few techniques. I'll post the results if they turn out good.

Wow, this past week was crazy. I started student teaching Wednesday at Western Guildford High School. Somehow the letter that had the date and location of my assignment got lost, so imagine my surprise when I woke to a phone call from my professor and adviser asking why I didn't go to the school. >_< I had to get dress fast, look as professional as possible, rush down to the school and give a professional apology for why I didn't come when I was supposed too. Luckily my coop teacher was nice enough about it.

The kids are great! They are surprisingly well behave and on task with their projects. I'm going to be spoiled with these kids. But don't worry, I'm going to get a nice wake up call when I go to my middle school assignment on March 30th.

Oh yeah, I've been addicted to Dragon Cave for a while. So here my scroll. [link]

I hope everyone had a good holiday! It's been a while since my last journal update. I went to Greenville about two weeks ago to visit Sarah and Rob. I hadn't seen them since the wedding last year, so it was really good to finally catch up in person. Unfortunately I could only stay for two days because of my job. Oh well. I had a blast though, playing Rock Band 2 with them and Ed. ^^

Also, it is official. I will be student teaching this spring! I don't know where my assignment will be though. I'm hoping for either a high school or a middle school. Once I finished with that, I'll expand my career search to cover the whole state. I have enough money squirreled away in my savings so that if I have too, I can move and pay a few months rent before I get a regular pay check.

I've also got hooked on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. I just started book four today. I tried to read a different book between two and three, since I have such a huge "to-read" pile, but I ended up putting it aside so that I can get further into the Anita series. Those books are like crack.

Finally, my brother gave me a kick ass Christmas gift this year. A signed Apple Geeks poster that he got costumed framed! I love that web comic! They even wrote "Merry Christmas Tamara!" on it, which made me laugh a lot. Now I just need to find wall space to hang it...

Have a happy New Year everyone!

Been over a month since my last update! Well nothing new has been going on lately, art wise anyway. I'm throwing ideas around but nothing I think I would want to scan and put up for everyone to see.

Something that is kinda artsy though is I'm going to stretch a couple of canvases for this one of the customers from work, and she is going to pay me to do it. Her mother, who is a painter, had a few frames that were odd sizes and she wanted to do paintings for them. But the lady is pretty old and can't stretch canvases very well anymore, so I'm going to do it and earned a few extra bucks for it.

I finally gotten around to taking pictures and posting several of my 3D art, thus all the new Deviants on my account. Along with those images I posted two samples of my armwarmers and wrist warmers that I made. Once I figure out a price range, I will open commissions for them.

Nothing really new, other then I get to go to the Nightwish concert in less then a week. Last concert I went to was Ozzfest last year, so yay!
