I'm feeling like I'm getting a cold Margaret had.

All I want to do is go home and go to sleep but I have Sociology still and when I do get home I have to cook dinner and work on my drawing for class.  I think maybe I'll just block it in today because I don't know how motivated I'll be with a bit of a bug.

No school tomorrow! Yeah!

This is a great semester and I'm having a ball with my classes.  But, 5 classes is a lot and I'm kind of tired right now.  It will be nice to have the day off with no where I have to be.  Well, I do have a couple errands but I can get up and go whenever I want.  I think I'll play with my Photoshop project and maybe start sketching and blocking in my drawing.  :)

Museums need help during these hard economic times too.

But, this effects all Fine Arts students and artists. To lump museums with casinos is assine in my opinion!

===================================

Got this in an email from Myers Brown at the Tennessee State Museum:Amendment Excluding Museums Passes Senate, 73-24Tell Congress About Your Museum's Economic Impact!During Senate consideration of the economic recovery legislation today, an amendment was passed prohibiting funds from going to museums, zoos, and aquariums. The amendment, offered by Sen. Tom Coburn (S.Amdt. No. 309), states, "None of the amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any casino or other gambling establisment, aquariums, zoo, golf course, swimming pool, stadium, community park, museum, theater, art center and highway beautification project." The amendment was adopted on a 73-24 vote. You can see how your Senators voted HEREDifferences between the House and Senate versions of the economic stimulus legislation will have to be resolved in a House-Senate conference committee before the bill is submitted to the President. "Congress needs to be reminded that museums are a vital part of our economy," said AAM President Ford W. Bell. "It's time for us to make our case and I am calling on all museums to send their Members of Congress an Economic Impact Statement showing the ways in which their museum contributes to the economy." You can do this today by answering a few questions about your museum HEREThe information you provide will be automatically entered into letters that you can send to your Members of Congress. Most Members of Congress do not realize that museums employ more than a quarter-million Americans, spend an estimated $14.5 billion annually, and rank among the top three family vacation destinations. Let them know about the local impact your museum has by contacting your U.S. Senators and Representative today!Visit www.speakupformuseums.org for more information about AAM's advocacy for museums.
