Broad Ripple

Broad Ripple Ink

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Katie

Yesterday I went with my friend Hank to see him get his tattoo. I was expecting this whole Miami Ink experience, but instead I left feeling freaked out and scared.

First off seeing Hank just lay there with blood all over his arm was awesome… not. I really don’t mind blood I just never realized how much you bleed when you get a tattoo. I think when watching Miami Ink you are so distracted by what is actually going on with the person’s background story that you just focus solely on that and don’t realize the blood that is going on.

Second, that noise of the needle hitting the skin is a turn on for Hank, but for me is a complete turn off. It just sounds terrible and it sounds like I’m in a weird scientific laboratory about to get worked on. Also seeing Hank’s face every time the tattoo artist hit a sensitive spot brought pain to me, and I was not even getting the tattoo. I just kept telling Hank that I’m glad it was him and not me… I’m such a good friend.

I’m sure this post will thrill my parents in knowing they don’t have to worry about tattoos on me. I’m way too indecisive about what I would get and also it freaks me out now. I’ll stick to piercings! Anyway, Hank’s tattoo turned out really well and I like it a lot!

Let’s Be Honest

In reality my finals week is not that bad compared to others. A lot of pharmacy majors especially have finals one right after the other so that is way worse than mine! My problem is just I have a lot of busy work and no idea how to manage my time right now.

I only have two finals, but the rest of the things that I have due are time consuming! My first final is tomorrow in my world of plants class. I love the professor of this class, but this is possibly one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I have never studied harder and still end up with terrible grades. Basically my goal on this final is to at least get a C, which sounds terrible, but at this point I am dying in this class.

On Thursday I have my portfolio due for Arts Administration. In this portfolio I have to compare my choice of an arts organization with another. So my choice was the Metropolitan of Art in New York City and now I have to compare it with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It’s not very difficult at all because most of the information is online it’s just very time consuming, and I have to make it into a presentable binder.

Friday I have my Analytical Reasoning final, which is Butler’s way of calling a math class. My math class is Win, Lose, or Draw, which goes into statistics and probability. It sounds really easy, but it’s actually one of my hardest classes. I have a tutor for this so hopefully that helps!

Saturday I have my controversial story for my News Print Media class to turn in. I have yet to do any interviews for this or anything which is really bad, and on top of that I have to also rewrite a story for this class, because I failed my first time, so now this is just additional work. I expected this though because I had no idea how to write that story, so hopefully the rewrite goes well.

Currently I am sitting in the Science Library. Pretty much all of campus is dead with people only walking to go hide themselves in rooms in Jordan Hall, Irwin Library, or any other place where they can find a nook to study. I am also still soaked from the torrential downpour that mother nature decided to have. Broad Ripple flooded which is insane. On top of that my friend’s car is stuck there. I’ll keep you guys updated on whether she gets it back or not!
