Freezin for a reason

So this last week has been really busy. I finally learned how to take the bus to my job, which was totally awesome getting to listen to music and draw the whole way. I even got to nibble on a sweet roll, which I shared with my boss when I arrived. :)

He was really hungry...  :P

Mid way through the week Hubby had to leave for 5 days on a business trip, so I attempted to spend as much time out of the apartment as possible, to keep away from BIL. I spent most of my time studying, but I got to start and finish this awesome old school game called Policenauts. It only came out in Japan so I had to find this fan made patch that translated it. It was a very cool game and definitely one of the best 'point and click' games.

On Friday I spent the night with the in-laws and had dinner with a friend of the family. She's such a sweet old woman and she was totally bent on getting on scoop of ice cream with all 20 of their toppings, with me. Luckily that changed after she had dinner. :P

I went home and drew a chicken and also a sketch of myself with an Aeris style hair-do, from Final Fantasy VII. I'd had it up in an Asian style with a chopstick, and after pulling it out it looked all cool and curly.

Saturday was the big day. I had signed up to participate in the Polar Bear Plunge, where I pledge a certain amount in donation to a cause (this was the Special Olympics) and then get to leap into freezing winter waters. XD I was so nervous the few days before. When I pre-registered the guy was trying to tell me it was totally just mind over matter. I was far from convinced...

Turns out though, they were right. It really wasn't that bad! It not only wasn't terrible but I loved it so much I wanted to do it again! So I'm definitely going to sign up next year too!
