Yesterday was crazy. By the end of the night my head was absolutely pounding. I can't even remember the last time I had a headache. So, this rut of mine is definitely in the past, and I can already tell it did me so much good. I think why I haven't been able to make a decision in the epic Art v. Social Work battle is because I have this all or nothing mentality. But they both mean so much to me. We were discussing a particular issue in Social Work and Community Resources class yesterday that involved the field I would prefer if I continue SW. I love gerontology, I really do. So I guess I had a lot to say and inadvertently started a HUGE research project. My professor came up to me after class and basically said all these wonderful things about how I absolutely need to get a DSW (doctorate in SW) because I have a knack for research (to Maryjo: and I just laughed because we had that talk about how I hate doing research.)
Then my design class had that meeting with a really huge company that is offering us the opportunity of A LIFETIME. I'm scared to even talk about any of it because we signed away our lives and all of our art/ideas to a very serious confidentiality agreement. But it's probably the most exciting thing you can do as a student. Real commissions, real budgets, real recognition. I already have thousands of ideas running through my head.
But again, my efforts are so divided. On one hand I have a really interesting research project my professor wants to be involved with that is guaranteed to be a great opportunity, and then on the other hand I have this once in a lifetime opportunity to play real artist but it isn't guaranteed at all. They could choose 12 out of 60 of us or none out of 60 of us. Either way I don't like those odds.
