26 hours

I made 20 hours since I had class right before and it ran over by 3 hours (it was a cast molding class so the chiselling and final plaster took a bit longer to dry) and then stayed until my other class (another sculpting class with oil-based clay) and then finished up the rest. So I was literally not home or didn't go to sleep from Sat 6:30am until Sunday 9pm-ish. But it was amazing and I won the first prize of the evening for my drawing (which was unexpected and funny because I jumped into an hour-long pose in the last 20 minutes for that drawing lol). One minute the guy who met me was asking me if I worked at the company (it was not a widely advertised event) and the next he was shaking my hand saying congratulations and a few people came up to me and introduced themselves. I gave the model my drawing and she was really happy because the whole time I was thinking to myself eugh..gotta work on that part on the next one, etc. I met a lot of wonderful people, and I had a bit of withdrawal on Monday when my mind was just saying 'I want to draw live models. Where can I go tonight?' It was SO much FUN! I really really needed to do laundry though. Seriously. LOL. Anyways, my teacher said that his teacher once told him that in one of his teacher's classes (clay sculpting) the guy said he'd give two As; one for the person with the best sculpture, and the other to the person who used to most clay throughout the semester. Turns out, the guy only needed to give one A. Lesson learned; try try try.
