[ ] clean room
[ ] make new years resolutions
[ ] start mom's projects
on that note...
it is so weird that my mom talks about me a lot now. normally it is mom bragging about katrina and her boys and her sports, but lately she has been talking a lot about me and painting. i think she finally understands part of me and this thing. She has been really supportive of everything regaurding art, except of course art school, though now she says it would be nice if i took a summer class, instead of something like the Art Institute of something something in britain that i got the other day. hmmm if only. I have been really trying to figure this all out. I got new batteries for my huge camera, took some dust off and finished up a role that is how old. I dropped it off at cosco today. im kinda nervous, not sure why. I also bought black and white film. I am gunna try really hard to make art a habit instead of a spontaneous passion. Gunna get back into photography, im gunna paint often, i am gunna learn chinese painting, i bought a drawing book. Speaking of art, i need to get a new sketch book, like turning over a new leaf i guess. im gunna make it a case study, write notes in it, about my photographs, paintings, sketches, stuff i wanna improve on, what i like about it i guess. Its nice, and yet slightly unnerving that my mom keeps mentioning to people that i like to paint. its like now i am expected to perform... i need to make my mom something. She kept dropping hints that she wanted this or this to hang on the wall. Speaking of which, i think i wanna get some varnish to give it that glossy finished look, hmmm.
i hung out with my mom today. it was really good,nice and soothing. We were on a mission to get all the stuff we needed. I bought a contianer for all my art stuff, went to barnes and noble and bought all these language books for my trip to europe this summer. bought german, french, italian and spanish travel dictionaries. Also something i wanna try really hard to do, is practise out of these books and learn a little, kinda like French I/II understanding. where i can pronouce words, and have a general understaning of gramar. I finally finished reaing that first-time europe guide, though i am not really a first time europe goer, this is the first trip i have done completely on my own, in respects of planning travel insurance etc. plus it is the longest trip i would have ever been on... 5 weeks give a few days. i have been getting really excited about it. lookingt forward to just going, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling different. I love it over there. It looks like Richmond University is starting to look oh so much more appealing. Would it be selfish to want to go so badly? all in all it would be cheaper than USF or NYU. i am not sure why i am still applying to NYU. i want it, but not as badly as i thought i would. part of me still wants it, just not the present me. I have always loved New York's possibilities, but it doesnt have graphic design or whatever. And i really do not think i will get in. That application is beginning to look more and more daunting.
i have so much to get done, so much i want to do, so much i want to BUY. i want to buy more clothes!!!!! more art supplies. i love art... and i have to do the job thing, i need to get started on that paper stuff i promised my uncle.
i am kinda glad to go to school, glad to go back to learning. someone wanna come with sometime to urban outfitters? i dunno feel like going... just call, ill be around.
