April 15th, 2012 – Sorry for my absence!

Well, it’s over for now.

But, this is Oklahoma, so it’s just a matter of time until we get another round of crippling, terrifying weather. Stay tuned! -.-

I swear to God, I’m going to have a heart attack.

Tornado Watch until 4 a.m. (I’m not going to be able to sleep until they say that it’s all good for the time being).
They’re calling tomorrow the “Big Show.” They’re comparing it to the tornado in Joplin. I’m terrified that I might actually die tomorrow.
This is the worst feeling in the entire world. I was at work when the tornado sirens went off the first time. We were rushed, with around 26 customers, to the break room in the back of the store. The power was flashing on and off, everyone was frantic, weather reports were coming in saying that the tornado was less than a block away from us, and I was sitting there with my heart pounding through my chest.

Then, lo and behold, my Mom walks in the door of the break room, soaked in rain, smiling a huge smile at me, and my heart calmed. She sat there with me and everyone else, holding my hand, rubbing my back, and comforting me. It was so great to have her there.

We’re now under a tornado watch until 4 a.m., and they’re all going to be asleep while I’m hyper-ventilating the entire time in the living room until it all goes away.

I just really hope that I can get everyone to safety tomorrow and I hope that we’re all going to be okay.

Apparently, Oklahoma is about to get fucked.

So, if you don’t hear from me again, know that it was a fun ride.

April 12th, 2012 – Dallas Trip!

We got a life casting demo in my sculpture class today.

Here are a few of the pictures from the experience! It was a trip!

I volunteered to be the model for the demo. Here is a look at the inside of the mold.

We then had to fill the mold with plaster.

And then we had the casing of the final cast.

We then began to tear away the alginate mold and started to reveal the plaster cast inside!

And here is the final result! It was a blast. I can’t wait to work on this project.
