Some creative energia

So..it's that time again - applications. Ah...thinking back to high school times sure brings back some delightful memories of stuffing my face with Costco size muffins in the senior lounge while stressing about my SAT score, clandestine operations of everyone's applications, and dreading my parents' constant nagging.
This time, it's going to be different, I told myself. I'm a grown ass woman! So why can't I do things my way? I need to show these damn medical schools I'm special, I'm different, and gd damn it, people like me!
How do this other than boost my creative juices, get them flowing a little bit....so I'm getting back to my roots of painting. We'll see how it goes, because, let's be honest, it's been quite a while. The only art I've been involved in is doodling while in lecture or on the phone, and as my brother put it, they look like little Asian boys.
But for your entertainment, here are a couple pieces I did back in the day. Yes, my parents put one over our fireplace. Judge for yourself.





Guess who that's supposed to be? I'll give you a hint..she's not Russian, but apparently she came out that way..

I honestly want to paint over 60% of this one....I was trying to go for a 'woman empowerment' theme, but I think it came out kinda lesbo.

Anyways, back to the books :(
But hopefully this time around the application process will be less caloric and more cathartic
Ha.ha...i'm SO cleverrrrrrrrrr
