Trying to imitate the teacher's example can be frustrating, but I find that I can focus in calligraphy class like nowhere else. For an hour and a half my classmates and I write the same character over and over and over again and submit our best copy. Some people find it boring but the time flies by for me. The teacher doesn't even seem to mind if I listen to my iPod while writing. Since the teacher doesn't return the copies we submit, I take my second-best copies home and hang them on my bedroom wall. Even though they're not very good, my walls need some decorating. If you're interested...the earliest one is on the right and the latest one is on the left.
Because of calligraphy class, I actually prefer Mondays to Fridays. Pretty crazy, huh?

The artful, elegant characters remind me of someone pouring water on a burning dog from a high tower.
I dont think that I can beat that...
Wouldn't you rather parse than do anything?
Please don't relegate me to some faraway lee.
Ohh Kelley! It's so cool that you enjoy calligraphy. You know what, I do love it too!! I really understand what you wrote; time flies while doing calligraphy. I have a lesson once a week (not at nanzan), and I can't wait the day every week. We'll have an exhibition in Dec, so I'll show you my work when I finish. I'm happy to finally find a calligraphy friend, because no one in my age is really interested. I never thought it would be an american girl though.lol
I think your good drawing abilities help. I couldn't do that after a full semester of class...
Btw, I love the smily faced one!
