Hmm...
My brain's been all over the place recently. Can't really seem to focus, and it's not helping that I can't get into the cage in the painting studio to-day to stretch my canvases, because apparently the school doesn't have enough fundage to cover a bloody lab-tech on Fridays. Stupid non-government-funded art school... Grr.
This has been a strange week. A short one, since I had a 4-day weekend (in which I also accomplished very little, kuz I'm lazy, thank you very much), and two of my instructors were out of town, so those classes weren't quite so... classy.
And, of course, on top of it all, Jo is still in jail. In Iowa. With a bail of $10K. I guess he can get out if someone posts 1/10 of it (which my dad's cousin is hopefully doing as I type), but he still won't be able to make it back to WA before a court date that will keep him out of jail here. That and he had a new job lined up in the city, which, of course, he won't be able to make since it's supposed to start to-night. Why oh why does this craziness ensue?!
I care about my bro. A lot. I just don't understand his lifestyle. I've realised recently how wonderful it is not to have to depend on anyone else for support (except for Matt and Leah who help pay bills and rent), and how much better it is to be in control of my own money and everything else. I may be a bit of a control freak, but at least I know where I'll be sleeping at the end of the day. Alone for the night, unfortunately, but I'll live... :)
Sorry, I didn't mean this to be a rant. Life is still good, I'm just frustrated right now.*
