Purple Pachyderms on a Page

I wanted to have something to post today and since I found my beloved purple pen, I thought I would scribble some purple pachyderms on a page in my sketchbook (And no, it's not pink. That would be taking the alliteration over the limit). I like doing these quick sketches (I limited myself to 5 minutes for each pachyderm)with a pen as you just have to go with it.

I think I mentioned in my other blog that I have been missing school a tiny bit (which is ridiculous, so yeah, go ahead and laugh at me), but upon pondering the idea, I realize it is really only the last class that I took (Library Materials for Young Adults) that I am missing. My idea for satisfying this longing is to read some YA literature, so that is what I was doing this morning. I think I really loved reading 5 books per week, but it's just not something I can keep up with if I want to do other things as well. But with young adult books, I should be able to read one book per week, don't you think? I, in fact, read three chapters of a young adult book this morning. Now it's time to get ready for work, even though I really don't wanna...
