Grad school
I can do this. No I can't. I can do this. No I can't...
Up Down Up Down ...
This term is being very intense. I'm trying to stay balanced and to make descision to do things that enrich me and that are good for me. I can't live in the science department. I have to be an activist artist too. However, doing this puts more pressure on my remaining time.
In addition I'm taking classes that are harder that last term. One is really a class and a half. My expectations of myself are very high.
The one thing that is really surprising myself is that I have so much energy and drive (all considered). I think my art is actually helping with that. I'm surprised I'm not totally burnt by now. (The first 4 weeks of the term were jam-packed with all the other requirements they don't want to put at the end of the term with finals).
I am much more emotional lately. I'm less emotionally stable and happy than I want to be. I keep yo-yo-ing back and forth between thinking I can do this and I can't do it. I feel squeezed from all sides.
Oh, and I'm almost done with zine #2 (it has more art) if only I will sit down and finish it.

This is the project that is keeping me going.
