Slow Week=Bad Shell

So this week went by very slowly.  I still haven’t gotten my stride down for this school year.  It’s not that I am too busy; I just have trouble prioritizing things.  It works out that I am ahead in the easier classes and feel like I am falling behind in others.  Hopefully, this gets cleared up soon because I really enjoy all of my classes, I just haven’t figured out how to balance it all yet.  For example, my shell drawing suffered because of this dilemma.  I had every intention of spending the recommended amount of time on this drawing but for some reason, time just kept slipping away.  I couldn’t focus and because of this I turned out, if I may be frank, a shitty drawing.   I am not happy with it at all.  There are definitely elements where I was trying to grasp the concepts and ideas but it just fell short.  I don’t know where my mind was the day I drew but it was not focusing at the task at hand.  For example, the contour lines just ended up being similar and I didn’t even lay my page out right.  Honestly, it’s like everything went wrong.   The worst part is I knew it was wrong and I didn’t try to fix it.  I really want to try again with this drawing even just sketching out on smaller paper the ins and outs of my shell.  Maybe that will help me for the next drawing.  I plan on working on that right now in fact, I need to focus hard and start again.  I think that was the main problem, my focus and attention.  It probably didn’t help that I was sick and that was my main focus while drawing, but I had more than just this week to draw.  Next time we get a shell assignment I  will start on it right away, no putting it off this time.
