Almost over
By the looks of it my last day of classes will be a week from Thursday, which is exciting and frightening at the same time. I need to hit the bookstore in a few minutes to pick up another folder to turn in yet another report and hopefully I can get some other stuff done. I need to take shots of places around Campus today during my break and I was an idiot and forgot to grab one of my larger cards, however I did remember my camera, I just only have a 32mb card in it ... that's okay, it should be enough.
I gave one presentation last night. I hate the fact that I get nervous when I present. It's not that my mind goes to smush, but my body starts to tense up and shake (usually just one leg shakes a little, whichever one I have the least weight on) and you can really hear it through my voice as if I'm on the verge of stuttering, but don't quite make it. Thankfully I'm not prone to saying "um" and "like" when at a lack of things to say, but I will pause and have to regroup my thoughts.
I have two more presentations to go, one in my Disciplines in Art Ed class and one in my Art History class. I've begun the outline for the latter, I need to finish it. It's due Thursday. I have a fair amount of background on the artist, but need to dissect his actual works more. I think it's supposed to be a 5 minute presentation.
I have two finals, one in Inquiry in Art Ed and one in Art History. The Art Ed one is, as the teacher stated, a "drive-thru" final. She's given us the questions and we have eight or nine options on how we choose to do it or turn it in, including but not limited to: sending an e-mail, putting it in her box, turning it in in person, or any number of things so long as she recieves it by 6.30pm on May 9th. I plan on finishing it this weekend and turning it in on Monday.
I will be very, very glad when the semester is over. I plan on updating my website next week with information concerning Leprecon and also Coppercon. I need to go back to the Hall of Frames next Friday and select matts for my smaller pieces. I also need to figure out how I'm going to mount all of the pieces as I am clueless. The panels are pegboard so I think I'll figure something out.
This summer I need to bust my butt and get some more pieces done. I'm hoping I'll get at least one sale at Leprecon. One sale would make me insanely happy. I know I'm probably not going to make money the first show I'm in, but that said, one sale would make me intensely happy and content at this point.
I need to continually remind myself that I'm still young, I'm still in the beginning of my career. There are still years before me to build a base and actually start making money with my work. I suppose I'm impatient. There's a vauge envy lurking in my mind towards those who are able to readily sell their art. To those who have easily recognized names and are sought out. And then I ask myself "what have you done to deserve it?" and I am set back on my haunches and realize I still have time. I still have work to do. I haven't done what is required yet. I'm starting, but it takes time.
I realize it more when I'm in my art classes and find myself surprised. I am still ahead, I am still okay. There are those who are on my level and beyond, but just the same, I'm not behind and with that I must be content.
