whooooaaaaaa....
life has been quite mad.
most of it i can blame on tba. the festival, like it always is, has been a marathon. an exhausting endeavor, but a wonderful one at that. i've seen some exceptional work this year, i am such a dirty little reggie watts fangirl it's a little embarrassing. i actually made a conscious effort not to take his workshop for that very reason-- i was too worried i would make a drooling, sparkly-eyed fool of myself in his presence. tiago guedes was a pleasant surprise to see, his performance made my heart swell, it was so delightful to watch. the works this year has been wonderful, the space is BITCHIN. unfortunately, from what i've heard, though, they're going to just gut it and turn it into retail space after the festival. le sigh.
all my classes this year seem tantalizing and challenging... the only one i am concerned about is my race in america lecture... as of the second day of class we'd already experienced some pretty heavy-duty tension that sort of made me want to rip my hair out and left me an emotional wreck for the rest of the day. i need to work on getting less emotionally invested in class discussions, and just space out and bullshit like i used to.
i am SUPER excited for my welding class, even though today was our first day using the torch, and the hot weather made it pretty fucking miserable. acetylene welding is sweaty. and tedious. BUT i get to play with fire and wear awesome goggles. so that's cool.
so all in all school has been immensely draining for the first two weeks, but i am just going to convince myself that a large part of that is due to all the time i've spent running from this tba event to that, so as soon as it's over, i should have a few weeks to breathe until mid-terms kick in.
AHAHAHAHA AND WE'RE ALL SO INTERESTED. did you know that it's september eleventh? PATRIOT DAY!!!!!
homo homini lupus
this used to make me sad and frightened.
now it just makes me hungry.
good. night.
