Selena had found herself painting more and more since that day. She'd picked up her brushes again, and started to go with the flow - though it wasn't always easy. Frustration, sketches going awry, and paint being wasted were common, but she began to really love what she created again, and in the end, she found herself starting to relax more while she was painting. Her worries simply didn't seem to exist with a brush in her hand.
Her teacher began talking to her about creating a portfolio, and mentioned Britechester casually from time to time. It seemed like a very long way off, and Selena wasn't sure, but Mrs Fox kept on about the importance of a portfolio, and finally, Selena relented slightly. Sketching was also fun to do while out and about, practicing capturing people's expressions and movements.
Some of the other students had started to take a bit more of a look at her, which she wasn't sure about, but the other art students had begun to talk to her a little more, and she wasn't as lonely. Luis, one of the boys, had even called the mask painting she'd started 'creepy cool', which she guessed was a compliment. It made her smile a little, even.

Selena's Painting is just getting better and better! I decided to actually keep the one she's working on in the image of the day, and hung it up above her desk to help with homework. It seems to actually be working well, too.

The Simmi collection is coming along nicely, too, which I'm happy for, though it being a shelf, water and plates do appear on it quite a lot.

Also, the fridge broke, but Selena fixed it up right away. She then decided she doesn't like Handiness, and frankly, I can't blame her. I don't imagine that was pleasant in any way.

She also had to clean up after, but she's pretty responsible these day - by which I mean fully in range to earn the trait when she becomes a Young Adult!
