Tired arms

I hadnt been updating about my sculpture class since lesson 2, and suddenly it is already lesson 9!

I had been late for class for every single lesson because of the timing of the class. My work ends, (optimistically saying), at 6pm, and class starts at 6.30am. Unless I've some special teleport skills, it is impossible for me to make it on time.

But I hitched a ride from my pretty vendor yday, and ended up at class at 6.20pm, even earlier than the lecturer himself.

Ok I digressed.

My arms were super sore because yday we were to chisel away the plaster which was housing our resin sculpture. There were more steps to it, but I dowan to go into details in this entry. The plaster is conservatively estimated to be 1.5inch thick, enveloping the entire sculpture. And because we cannot really estimate when will we whack the plaster too hard and break our own sculpture in the effect of action, we had to chisel away little by little.

Rather, it was actually more of like finding weak points in the plaster by knocking on it with the tools, then once a hairline crack is developed, then I'll tap on it until the plaster breaks away from the sculpture.

Bloody hell, I think I dont make sense.

Anyway, because of all the hammering, my right arm is now very sore. It feels like a session of badminton, only worse because the entire arm is in pain, not just the section from the shoulder to the elbow.

Even my forearm hurts. And my wrist. And my left palm, because I hammered myself frequently, and with helluva strength.

Ouch.
