I don't think you do. Unless you are a very visual person, then my notes aren't for you. All of these pictures were drawn during my British Literature class. I seriously tried to pay attention, but I just couldn't. So in between writing down Beowulf information, I doodled.
My Alice in Wonderlandesque drawing
Sometimes I would draw what I was drinking during class
We watched a Sir Gawian and the Green Knight movie and I couldn't stop thinking about the Jolly Green Giant!
Then I drew a Mexican
I call him Bat-skele-stein
I was so bored that I wrote out some of the lyrics to "Collide" by Howie Day
I noticed this Middle English dude on the front of my textbook and I just had to draw him. We were discussing The Canterbury Tales, so I obviously drew Darth Vader fighting him. Who doesn't connect Chaucer with light sabers??
Last but not least, I drew this picture of Sir Thomas Wyatt cheering on Johnny Damon of the Yankees. That's a beer in his hand. He knows how to celebrate!!
If any of you were worried about my grade in that class, don't be. I got a B!!

hahahah! This is hysterical (:
ReplyDeleteKinsey - All of those are great pieces of literature that you are wasting away doodling! I did the same thing, except my drawings look like poo... you've seen it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Tyne, you need to evolutionize your stick people into humans with palms and flesh ;)
ReplyDeleteYour doodles are hilarious :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to scribble down little pictures during my Eng Lit classes too, like last week, we were discussing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" so I decided to draw a picture of Tatiana, which was brilliant by the way. I even included wings and a magic wand! :D
I wish I can draw like you can :) lol
ReplyDeleteI am glad I ran into your blog for two reasons:
ReplyDeleteReason,
a) You're an English major with a focus on writing -- me too! :) Only, I still have two more years to go. But, I have not the first idea what kind of job I'll be getting, same as you.
b) Your drawings cracked me up! I wish I could draw like that, even if it is just to doodle. I'd really like to learn how to paint...but anyway, that's off topic.
I hope you've had a wonderful day, and that your week is splendid. :)
hahahaha!!! those drawings are really cute lol..what's that that you drew for coffee? lololol...
ReplyDeleteI remember i used to draw a cat made of bubbles whenever i'm in ELS ( English Legal System ) class in college. The lecturer hmmm..let's just say she looked like a bubble cat meeooorrwwww hahaha..
i'm an english writing major too and i have to take british literature next semester. Thanks to your hilarious blog i will be sure to bring extra paper to that class. =)
ReplyDeleteZachary-It's Caribou Coffee. I had to drink a lot of caffeine to stay awake in that class.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a B, No worries, with your drawing skills you have a great talent to fall back on;)Write stories and do the art work.
ReplyDeleteSir Thomas Wyatt a Yankees fan? Surely you jest! Love all the doodles though. Doodling is the best way to keep your mind occupied during a boring class. Mine all had the style of that first one though. They were all time and boredom centered.
ReplyDeleteI might just love you. I would doodle a scene I thought appropriate from a song in my forestry classes. The two that come to mind are Wonderwall by Oasis and Innocent by Our Lady Peace. I would usually do things a little more out of left field, but those two I remember vividly. Those were the days.
ReplyDeleteLove the doodles! And "Collide" by Howie Day is one of the best songs ever :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a hoot. Love the Mexican with the bubble. At least you are doing something constructive while in school.....or maybe not,lol.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous, you can write and draw (and probably have numerous other talents). I have no artistic talent whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteWith your notes I'm quite certain that I can achieve world domination. So, you know, thanks.
