Florence Friday: Mr. Franco, Mr. Carlo, Clara, and "The Secretary"

All right everyone.  Finals are over, and despite my new effort to get to bed at a decent hour (as my new schedule doesn't enable me to sleep in until noon anymore), I suppose I can pull out a Florence Friday that's more of an update.  It's about time.  =) In my last Florence Friday, I told you all that 2 of 2 emails that I sent out after Mr. Franco's response to me have been answered. Since my letter to Mr. Franco was so carelessly responded to, I decided not to put too much effort into the email to his superior in Washington D.C. Mind you, I just copied and pasted his name from somewhere else. I didn't even make the effort to insert that special symbol over the "a" in his name.

Sunday Scribbles: Variations on a Sunset

This Sunday, I have learned three things: the scanners on campus are infinitely superior to the one I have at home.   I was very distracted in class on Friday I don't know where half of the inspirations for my drawings come from. I also don't know why I chose to draw these specific things together on the same page. Also.  I can't count. It's finals week.  Dead week killed me.  I've risen from the dead to continue working. You'll forgive me. ALSO!  If you'd like to see the project that stole my sleep, my soul, and gradually my health and sanity this quarter, I created a new "professional" blog on which to display the results of all my madness.  Follow the link. You know you want to. Happy Sunday before finals, everyone!  =)
