Randomnity before spring break...

Apparently it's only 40 degrees F in Taiwan right now, and I'm supposed to be there next week. At least it's 80 here so I'll get a chance to warm up before I freeze. I hate being cold, since it's so much harder for me to warm up than it is to cool down. *grumble*

My mission before spring break: finish sketching all of the bird/mammal jaws (and other distinguishing characteristics) on display in the vertebrate biology lab. It's definitely good observational practice, which I need if I am to pursue medical illustration. Generally I'm just overwhelmed, since I have a lot of catching up to do before I get to the level I need to be at. (My own version of feeling like a pre-med, if you will.) But it's times like today, where you could actually tell which beak belonged to which bird, that I think, "Hey, I can actually do this," and feel a glimmer of hope. Not to mention, drawing is really the best way to learn for me. I don't really know what's there until I draw it.

On a truly random note: Looking at old pictures of Tom Cruise is like looking at old pictures of my mom. They haven't really changed much in the past 20 years. I mean, they look more mature, obviously, but you probably wouldn't peg them to be older than 40, which both of them are. It's kinda creepy. But, hopefully I have inherited my mom's (non)aging genes and not my dad's, LOL. At least, that would be one good thing about people mistaking my mom and I for sisters...
