This has been quite a year. I managed to graduate from high school. That was a tough deal. School was always pretty easy for me. That is until you run out of steam and just want it to end as fast as possible. On top of school, though, I managed to get out there a little more, socially speaking. I met some interesting people, and some people I wish never came into my life, but that's how life goes, doesn't it? You encounter new people every day. Some pass in and out of your life with near no effect, and others make such an impact that it may change parts of you as a person.

I've managed to meet a great guy who I've been with for several months already. It's amazing how fast time flies by. I won't spill my personal life on to the internet, so I'll just end with something like this: I am legitimately happy. There are things that bring me down, but when you ask, "Sarah, are you happy?" I can only say yes.

Before the school year ended I decided that it would not be the best choice for me to immediately go to college or university. That I was going to wait a year, if not less. I've been taking my time off to (lazily) look for work, and see what kind of work fields might interest me and make a good career for me. It's a little tough, to be honest. So I've been bored a lot lately. Why not do art with my free time? That's a good question... I have been trying to. I have to have a handful of pieces by next week completed. Woo... I need all the luck I can get.

Anyway. Things I'm looking forward to.... Well I'm looking forward to my birthday (sort of). It's only 19, but it's one more year forward so I can't complain. Christmas, I get to spend time with everyone all at once, which is always nice seeing as half my family is on the other side of town and I don't see them all too often. But yeah. This should be a good end of the year. I'm looking forward to starting next year, just to see what interesting things it brings.

Almost the end of the year. Gasp.

]]> ~sahratine Senior Year http://sahratine.deviantart.com/journal/21193999/ http://sahratine.deviantart.com/journal/21193999/ Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:43:28 PDT
I am enrolled in a program called Senior Inquiry which takes up two consecutive periods a lday, every day. It's a really interesting class that combines philosophy and astrophysics. In the syllabus it is titled "Exploring Einstein's Universe." Even I can't explain what it's all about. All I can say is that it's a really interesting and fulfilling class. I also must mention, with passing the class I also receive 15 transferable college credits. Pretty awesome.

My other classes are Humor & Culture which encompasses exactly what the name of the class says. We look at humor, and culture. Quite interesting.

Also in math. Math is math. Won't go into it.

And then I am a teacher's assistant for the German teacher I had these last three years. I had to drop fourth year German in order to do my senior inquiry class. A sad loss, but I'm still immersed in the language in simply being in that class.

And my sixth and final class is International Perspectives which has all the foreign exchange students in the class and we discuss things and yeah. Pretty boring, to be honest.

So, the senior inquiry class is the hardest class I have. I mean, it is college level so you have to take that into consideration.

Overall, the year is going good so far.

Almost a quarter of the way through the year. How fast time goes.

Well I had to.

But still.

Damn.

Luckily I have the things I am going to get people figured out. With only 2 and a half days left (today being the half day)I have to get shopping.

For myself, I am aiming on buying a bag, a couple of scarves, and maybe hopefully a hoodie. I fell in love the other day with a G-STAR hoodie that was 110,-€. Sigh. I didn't get it because exchanging my $300 into euros left me with 192,-€.

Terrible.
I manage.

Ja, man. Sehr.

Crazy Germans and their mineralwater. I can't do it. I must look like a loser drinking still water all the time. They call it "dead water" here. How funny is that. Sigh.

I miss home. But I am trying to enjoy.

Hot Germans are a plus for sure.

But being a senior means I have to crack down and figure out what colleges I'm going to want to apply to. Yes, I've already been looking. For a smart person, you start the search Junior year. For a genius you start it sophomore year. I'm not a genius, so I started this year. But in any case, I need to narrow my scope and put some on the Will Apply list.

Wish me luck with the process because one year from now, I'll be a High School grad. and a Lincoln Alum.

Go learn how to make good quality products. Your computers and accessories may look flashy, but there is nothing good about them. If you want basic, choose them.

Learn to position the hole in which the AC chord goes into. This is the second time your product has failed me. Being of no income, and that the product was a gift to me, I can't go out and by myself a better product.

Sincerely,

A Hateful Customer






Dear CompUSA,

Why in God's name would you pull stores out of the West Coast and reopen ones in Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico? It's Puerto Rico for the love of all that is good.

And what's in Florida besides old people and illegals? So I'm being politically incorrect here. But seriously. Fuck you CompUSA and your 15 fucking stores. I bought a product, and have warrenty and I was assured that I could bring my computer in if I was having troubles. Where are you when I need you now? Hm? Yeah. Exactly. Not here. Pathetic excuse for a company called CompUSA. Do you see the USA? Yeah. That means United States of America. Not the United States of Flordida, Texas and the US Territory of Puerto Rico.

Keep up to date with the states, you fools.

I hate you.

Sincerely,

A Hateful Customer

Not much you can do at seventeen...

...Besides see R rated films without an adult.

I guess that's cool.

Well yeah.

It has been a long time since I've done so, a few months I think. It's now time for me to get started on completing all those pieces that I have started over the past year.

Show you guys that I've actually improved.
I can shade.
And draw.

Not really in the mood to upload any WIP's. And I don't think it's completely necessary. You'll see the full picture when it's complete. Patience.

My mom's mom is coming on October 29th. Weeeee.

D: Just a week after my dad's mom leaves. *cries a little*

Oh well...

So, despite how sad we are to see my grandma leave, we're excited to see my other grandma arrive.

And because of that, I get to skip half a day of school. Huzzah, not really, sorta, I dunno.

::German::

Meine Grossmutter [die mutter meiner mutter] kommt am 29 Oktober. Weeeee.

D: Gerade eine woche nach dem meine Grossmutter aus Iran heim faehrt. *weint einbisschen*

Egal.

Ob voll wir traurig sind dass meine Grossmutter aus Iran heim geht, freuen wir uns dass meine andere Grossmutter kommt.

Des wegen werde ich einen halben tag von der Schule freinaehmen.

I got the new iPod Nano + the two year full coverage warrenty. 'Cause my dad is smart like that. So no matter what happens to it to damage it, I can get a new one. Go life.

It's pretty nice. Metal. Very good image quality. 8GB, not that much, but a good amount for me. And it's got a few games to pass the time.

As you could possibly guess by the title of this journal, the project will be The Greek Deities. Since there are so many, I think I'll choose some of the more well known, and a few lesser known ones.

I'll put up a list once I have figured out exactly who I will be doing.

Unlike my past pictures, I'll try to include a background of some sort, or at least something to fill all that extra space in a picture where the figure is the only thing.

This will most definitely take awhile to complete because a) school + homwork, and b) I have a life.

But wish me luck.

::UPDATE::
I've put together a list of the gods and goddesses who I want to draw.
The list goes as follows:

GODS
.Thanatos - Death
.Hypnos - Sleep
.Eros - Love/Lust/Intercourse
.Helios - The Sun
.Pan
.Hermes - Messenger

GODDESSES
.Aphrodite - Love/Lust [I mean, how can you not do her.]
.Demeter - Grain and Fertility "Mother Earth"
.Charities:
Aglaea - Beauty
Euphrosyne - Mirth
Thalia - Good Cheer/Banquets and Festivities
.Selene - Moon

Name: Sarah
Student ID: 182575
Final Mark: Come again?

Directives: List ten things about your art, then tag seven people to do the same. Make sure you comment their page. They're on the bottom of the entry...

1. I don't have ten things to say about my art. Let's try though and if I can't come up with anymore, I'll BS the rest of it. -- Well. I've always drawn. Always. That's a good start.

2. So good so far. -- Everyone's been amazed with things that I've drawn sicne I was little. I drew a picture of my neighbor across the street when I was eight or nine and they were just flabberghasted at how I captured the girl in the picture. So, the ability is natural.

3. The only time I've taken an art class outside of school was back in my single-digit days. This year will be the third year, not in a row, that I will be taking Art 1.

4. I've taken ceramics classes before, and I found that quite enjoyable. I like being multifaceted when it comes to art. Not stick to one media.

5. I'd like to learn to paint, better.

6. I used to want to do photography, and then I figured I would let the more talented and passionate do that, while I stick to what I'm good at. At times, I do like to mess around with a camera. And I would like a good camera, to take good photos, whether they be of people or something I think is really cool.

7. Only at seven? Darn. -- I started drawing anime full-time when I was in fifth grade and met ~thy-angel-of-chaos. For a long time I was into that sort of thing, but as I grew up, and my mind opened more, I felt that I should develop my own style and learn realism more and just..Do my own thing. Rather than copy the same five styles of eyes and hair and clothing that you find in many generic anime.

8. I've tried my hand at poetry. Apparently I'm good, but it all seems pretty generic to me. I'd rather draw.

9. I've gone through so many sketchbooks, half of them aren't even half filled. I enjoy looking through my old ones. It's amazing what you can find in them. I refuse to throw them out. It's like little snapshots into my childhood of Digimon and Harry Potter.

10. Yay, I made it to ten. Good for me. As much as I love colouring digitally, I think it's important to get, at least, the basics of using traditional mediums in addition to pencil. So I want to use pastel, coloured pencil, charcoal, chalk and paint more.

~~~~~~~

1. Honestly, what color is your bra (or undershorts if you're a boy)?
Right now- it's nude+black lace.

2. Honestly, do you bite your nails?
No, it's a nasty habit. It sometimes looks like I am, but my hand is just up to my mouth in those cases.

3. Honestly, what are you doing right now?
This.

4. Honestly, do you think you are attractive?
Now I do.

5. Honestly, have you done something bad today?
No. I didn't do anything today, other than go grocery shopping.

6. Honestly, do you watch Disney channel?
Just for Hannah Montana, my loves.

7. Honestly, are you jealous of someone right now?
Not really. I'm a little envious of my brother for being in a relationship before I, but these things happen. He could just do better though.

8. Honestly, what makes you happy most of the time?
Good times with my friends, and having something go my way.

9. Honestly, what’s on your mind?
Honestly, I don't feel like telling you. :]

10. Honestly, do you want to see someone this very minute?
Kind of.

11. Honestly, when is the last time you went to Taco Bell?
Like, months ago.

12. Honestly, are you in denial?
I could be.

13. Honestly, where would you rather be right now?
Germany's sounding really nice right now...

14. Honestly, do you like someone?
Honestly, yes.

~~~~~~~

Anger Section

1. What do you do when you're mad?
Become a total bitch. Or just gripe.

2. Ever made anyone cry when you were mad?
I don't think so.

3. Do you swear when your mad?
Yeah.

~~~~~~~

Crying Section

1. When was the last time you REALLY cried your heart out?
Awhile back. For sure.

2. When was the last time you cried yourself to sleep?
My god. A long time ago. I don't really cry myself to sleep.

3. Do you still cry when you get an injury?
No.

4. What usually makes you cry?
Frustration, disappointmen... ]]> ~sahratine .The List http://sahratine.deviantart.com/journal/14416179/ http://sahratine.deviantart.com/journal/14416179/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:36:12 PDT •THE LIST•

As many of you, I hope, have already realized, this is Sarah. My name on here doesn't mean anything. It was a creation in a time of absolute boredom. Then again, many of our greatest things were created in times of absolute boredom. So I may as well look at it with a positive view instead of a indifferent or a negative view.

And just so you know, it's not pronounced (sah-rah-tyne). It's (sarah-teen).

I decided that I will, in retrospect, actually use this deviantART account. Most likely not on a daily basis, but more than I have in the past. Figured I'd start this summer off with a goal, and, in a sense, a new identity. No more of this darkangel######, or phlyinghigh stuff.

Anyways, thank you to all those you gave me a warm welcome. It feels nice that there are still people out there as nice as some.

I'll be re-uploading the pictures that I have in my ~darkangel123137 account.
