This Is the First Day of My Life
Things are finally looking up again. After the worst semester of my life everything is new again and starting to go right for once. First, I realized I have nothing to lose. I lost everything that I thought I had, now I am free to make art without fear, no back up plan, and no expectations.
Second, I do now have a job on campus. I got a job as an exhibition assistant for the Kent State Fashion Museum. I will be changing in and out the different exhibits and building display stands and cases. I will also learn art handling techniques. I got this job because of my experience in sculpture. Now when people ask "What can you do with a sculpture major?" I can tell them. I am really excited because last semester I applied for the same job at the Akron Art Museum but did not have enough experience. I rose above. I did it. I got a job that uses my skills and will teach me much more.
Also, I am giving guitar lessons to my 11 year old nephew. This give me a chance to teach and expose my nephew to music. It also will help me practice and get better myself. I also get to hang out with my nephew. He's funny and really smart. It is so weird to see him because it reminds me of when I was in that same position as a kid. The extra money won't hurt either.
My classes are actually going to teach me a great deal of relevant and useful information. My Late Modern Art History course is extremely engaging. In only two days I have learned so much useful background to art making practices that influence me. The teacher is very knowledgeable and clear in her explanations. Im excited about my figure drawing class too. I love drawing the figure. Since much of my work is influenced by the figure, being able to see and draw the figure well is important to me. My sculpture class in independent study. This allows me to explore very personal and contemporary issues in a very experimental way. I will be working mainly in performance and video. I am excited to see how this body of work turns out.
To top it off, I have been talking and hanging out with this very amazing girl. Se just blows my mind and is just the most amazing person I have ever met. We have been slowing hanging out more and more. Each time it just gets better. And I got home and I am in a daze. I have now built up enough confidence and have no doubt in my mind that she is into me too. I am going to enjoy this while it lasts.
