Parsons: school of design summer art class!

Last week, I started an art class at Parsons. I'm taking the painting and drawing course and so far, it's been great. I've developed some great pieces for my portfolio for applying to high school, class is relaxing and I've made two great friends named Faye and Lucia.
Classes start at 9:00 a.m on weekdays. I feel so grown up when I am asked to show my parsons ID when as I enter the building. My class sadly only lasts two weeks, I really don't want it to end!!!!!
My first day at parsons was crazy! I hauled around a huge portfolio that was bigger then me! It contained my canvas pad, news print pad, sketch book (small), white paper pad, pallet paper pad, and paint pallet. I also had a tool box that had all my paint, linseed oil, galked oil, pencils, charcoal, and eraser. During the parsons orientation, some of the teachers there handed out parsons tote bags. I carried it around all the time but unfortunately, I got oil paint all over it and it looks like a disaster. The inside of the bag, is even worse.
I would arrive home covered in oil paint which isn't easy to get off clothing. I destroyed two shirts so, I finally started wearing big and old t-shirts owned by my dad so that I wouldn't ruin my clothing. I have no idea how but, sometimes I end up with paint down my shirt or on my eye brows. It's weird, I know.
My new friends are great. We are always laughing together and being weird. All three of us are both talented and awesome. We all have lockers next to each other and we sit together all in one row in class. I'm going to miss them both when our parsons class is over this Friday. Lucia goes back to Mexico and Faye doesn't live as close to me as I though she did. But what ever, we are all Facebook friends!!
This Friday is my exhibition. It's going to be great I can't wait for everyone to see my work! Too bad that Friday is my last day of parsons though. Hopefully, I can go back in the fall. This time, I will take fashion design because as everyone knows, I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up.
