(no subject)
I noticed lately that I have a problem looking people in the eyes. Like people I know well, it's cool no problem. But strangers and such, I look just past them or avoid looking at them at all so I don't have to make direct eye contact. I went to Brookshires today and completely did not look at the checkout guy. Couldn't tell you what he looked like. What's up with that? I think that's a horrible (and rude!) habit that I need to immediately get out of.
Speaking of rude... where are people's manners these days? How hard is it to throw in a please and a thank you. Holding doors open is nice, and when someone does it for you, thank them! And chivalry should not be dead. BUH. Just be nice and polite people, it makes life run so much smoother. Oh and look people in the eye when they talk to you. ;)
Fall is here!! It's cool in the mornings and evenings, it's wonderful. October is the best because it officially feels like "the holidays". It's Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then CHRISTMAS TIME! These are my favorite months of the year. Decorations, yummy food, and festive music! Love it. And I think my mom, sister, Brendon's mom, and brother may be able to come up for Thanksgiving so that will be wonderful. I'm cooking a feast again this year so it will be nice to have more mouths to feed.
This semester has been nuts. Absolute craziness for both Brendon and I. We were supposed to make a trip down to NB to get my wedding dress altered this month, but there's just no way. I've been working 4-5 days a week, going to school, making art, and I'm the treasurer of the Painting and Drawing Association. Oh and planning a wedding. But as much as I complain, I know I'm going to miss school (the art part of it) once I graduate. I was painting in the studio today and I thought, "I wont be here next semester". Its been 4.5 years of basically living on the 3rd floor of the art building. I'm going to miss the craziness, the messy cluttered studios, the classes and critiques, and most of all my fellow artists and their art. There's such an awesome creative energy here, we all feed off each other, bouncing back ideas and inspiring each other. And I go to school with such AMAZING artists. I know so many of them are going to go far. It's going to be hard to continue making art without the support of those people and teachers always pushing you and one-upping you. Grad school, as much as I'd love to avoid it, is probably the answer. But in the mean time, I guess I should enjoy these last couple months while they last!
