Finals Week.

Shout out to Finals week everybody. 

whoo.

So forgive me for brief, erratic posts . . .

It's been more than insane over at my house. Finals, moving dates, arranging summer & fall school/work schedules. Plus fighting over who gets whose food.

Insane.

And I apologize for this week's finals-themed posts . . . it's just frying my brain & I feel the urge to create a constant reminder to the world that finals suck.

Good luck to fellow college students fighting the good fight.

We got this.

Now excuse me while I rock back & forth while trying to prep for my chemistry, math, bio-processing, and statics finals.

If I get 10 hours of sleep this week, I'll be one lucky duck.

The Pieta.

La Piedad (The Pieta), 1498 by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Definitely my favorite sculpture by Michelangelo. It's just too beautiful to ignore. I love this image of the Virgin Mary & her son after his Crucifixion. The way Michelangelo approaches this representation is unlike any depictions of Mary with her suffering son. He takes an entirely new approach presenting Mary as the comforter & protector holding her perished son.
My roommate & I were conversing over Michelangelo's sculptures & The Pieta came up. We couldn't help but share what we loved about it & the emotions it stirs. I just thought I'd share its beauty with all of you as well.

Constellation Drawings.

1924 Constellation drawings by Picasso himself; done in pen & India ink.

One of my favorites, mainly for simplicity & astronomical aspect. 

I'm a die hard fan of art & science combos . . .

What do you think? 

Any Picasso fans out there?

(I must add: I only respect his work, not necessarily the man . . .)

I've been feeling a little home sick lately, mainly for the beach & California in general.

I never knew how much I needed the ocean until I moved. I miss the seashells, ocean air, and old friends. I can't wait to return home & work in some surf time this summer . . .

Anticipation for Summer.

Now the snow's melted & weather's warming, I've been caught up in anticipation for summer. All it takes are those first sunny, warm days of spring to catch the fever. Now comes the swimsuit planning, workouts, new flip-flops, & tank top fever.

Already I've found swimsuits I'm convinced I need. . .

My favorites being from Swim Spot, Urban Outfitters, Shabby Apple, American Eagle (AE) & Anthropologie.

I'm ready for summer, so hurry up weather!
