(no subject)
another day of classes... 10 - 11.30, 12.00 - 3.00.
and then home.
to finish up some readings, work on some screenprinting,
and possibly (finally) start a painting that is actually not for a class.
I want to keep working on my own stuff,
so that eventually,
like maybe next year,
I will actually have a body of work that I can do something with.
makes me kind of excited.
especially now that i have my own screen,
i can do my printing from home,
so i'm not just working on stuff for class assignments,
but also experimenting with new things to see what happens.
maybe it's about time i got really focused on something.
i'm sick of skipping around everywhere
and not really putting my energy into one idea.
jack of all trades, master of none...
school is going well though.
overall this year is sincerely kicking last year's ass.
university is really just like high school all over again,
so once you get over the awkwardness of a new place,
and find some sort of routine,
it all falls into place.
i also have a wicked apartment,
and a lot of space to work,
so this has been a really productive year
compared to last year.
plus i feel like i have become a little more comfortable
with being and working alone.
and even being home alone,
just doing my thing and not being bored.
so that's a start, really.
i feel next year looming over my head a bit,
as both a dark cloud and an exciting buzz.
i feel like something really important is going to change or happen,
and i want to be ready
(even though it's kind of impossible,
because i have no idea what it is yet...)
i just feel like becoming a little more independent,
and self-reliant will be a good thing for me to do.
it's nice to be alone and not be lonely.
should probably leave for class very soon.
i have a long, snowy trek involving a 30x40 canvas companion
all the way to the school.
it's definitely really cold out today too;
i can feel it seeping into the living room somehow.
scarf, mittens, hat, coat... pretty much ready to go.
i'm really enjoying writing more on this.
so i think i'll continue.
until then.
