Row Row Row your Boat...


Ok here it is - the finished product. I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Although I could spend probably another year making changes to it and I will never be happy. I know this about myself, so I have to tell myself to put down the paintbrush before I really mess it up.
I am giving this painting to my roommate for her birthday tomorrow. She loves boats and pictures of boats, hence what I decided to paint for her. But I like it because it is cropped and it's not typical.
Anyways, work is becoming more and more exhausting. I really don't know how to help this child and I have almost accepted the fact that it's not going to happen on my watch. But I have to hope that one day it will get better - at least for the parents' sake. He's a tough kid and has some deep rooted issues. What it is, I'm not sure really, but I know that it's a lot bigger than not wanting to do his homework or being irresponsible. There is a rage there. And hopefully one day he will be able to conquer that. He is truly a smart and good kid. I can see that. Anyone can see that. I just pray that one day his attitude will improve.

I'm really looking forward to coming home this weekend! It will be a nice break right before exams start. But I'm happy to say that I'm really not that worried about my exams.

Ok who noticed my awesome music player over there ------------------>
Pretty sweet eh? Now you can listen to the music that I love!
Oh snap.
