Spring 06
I'm slacking on my usual first-day-of-the-semester updates. Anyway:
MW
01] Painting. That's it. And it's not until 2. And it's gonna be hard. And expensive. But Carl transformed me into a drawing artist 2 years ago, so hopefully he'll work his magic on me again and make me a painter. I certainly hope so. This class goes until 450PM, which drives me crazy, especially when art professors ramble. I've decided something about outgoing artists--they want you to know everything they know. It's not about upstaging anyone, it's just a matter of sharing knowledge. Of telling you everything that they didn't learn in school, so that you won't make mistakes, even though we all know that mistakes are inevitable. But anyway...I'm rambling.
I also tried contacting Artie and John about my internship and they haven't called me back. Whatever, I'm fine with 12 hours right now. We'll see what happens.
TR
01] World Cultures. There are tons of people in this class, which is always awkward. But there are good people in that class. It's gonna be like my only reading class so I'm not too worried about the workload. Pennington seems real cool, and he tells good stories, which is always a plus with professors. Carl rambles about stuff he knows, Pennington rambles about his adventures with cows in India. It's a fair trade.
02] Printmaking. I was a little worried about this class, but it's going to be so much fun. Mary, John, Trevor, Jonathon and myself, all art majors in one awesome class with Mark Hall. It was a blast hanging out with them, and it will be for the rest of the semester. I'm excited. It's gonna be hard as well, because for the life of me I cannot think in reverse (as in relief art...nevermind, no one knows what I'm talking about), but it'll be a good time.
F
01] Thesis. Lord help me, I have no idea what I want to do. I told Mark I wanted to make a website, but that's not what I really want to do. I want to explore all the media I've worked with over the years, and do something more creative than something on a computer screen. Non-artisans don't really appreciate websites, but they may just think big ole collages of art is kinda cool. I just want to make a mess. That should be my lead for thesis--making a mess. I don't know...
Anyway, it's REALLY hard to get back into the groove of things. Not having homework since mid-December takes a toll on the brain. I have no motivation. All I want to do is hang out and have fun and sleepover and not worry about the future.
Like yesterday. Yesterday was a good day. For SOOO many reasons. Especially last night, playing cards (kinda...) with friends. And even better for after cards, and watching lightning, and talking with a good friend, and realizing that the relationship you are in is truly a good relationship, a long-lasting one. Something special that so few have. And just like Lydia, I wish every couple could be as happy as our couples. Cards made me realize how happy I am with where I am and who I'm with. 1000 times more happier than I ever thought I could be.
Anyway...look at me, I'm rambling again! Just a silly art major, sharing her joy with the rest of the world. I love it.
