Camping this weekend in Put-in-Bay with Joe, Lindsey, Billy, Leslie and some others. I haven't been camping since.. hm... girlscout camp maybe.. 7th grade? haha I am very excited none the less. Those appear to be the last big plans of the summer though, we may get up to 6 Flags Darien Lake before the summer is up though, that would be a blast!
Hm, not to much to be said for this summer, I am missing my encore girls now. Joe and I really only hang out with the guys from SSound who also stayed during the summer so I am in serious need of estrogen. However, I am certainly not looking forward to the start of school. It will be fine I am sure, but i really really enjoy my free weekends now. I also really enjoy getting to actually read books again. So far I have read "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire, "Vanishing Acts" by Jodi Picoult (great author), "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger (very good read), "Its Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini, and I am currently finishing "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk which i originally started after "Wicked".. but I think it was too much of a departure from the fairy tale story to get into..I am finishing it now though.
Other than that I have been taking photos of my art work, trying to decide what I could possibly use in a portfolio for graduate school, and what schools i will be applying to exactly. I had been rather set on going to Ursuline.. and then my grandparents got me thinking.. so I have been trying to find a school with a wider known reputation. I think I may have found it in the Art Institute of Chicago.. but it scares me to death to think about applying. I have no confidence in my art. I think that may have something to do with the large variety of classes that I have had to take that I lack a focus in a certain area and haven't really been able to develope a technique or style. This quarter though I will be taking a Studio Painting class which rumor has it is predominantly on your own and series bulding.. which is exactly what I need. How I am going to be able to build a portfolio of 15 though, I am not sure.. They suggest narrowing it down to 2 different medias at the most, so I may use pieces from my Studio Printmaking class which is a media I have come to love because it definitely plays into my artistic preference and style, the whole.. chance/ experimentation. Anyways, I think the Art Institute is going to be my reach school.. and Ursuline along with Seton Hill which is apparently Ursuline like only near Pittsburgh will be my fall back schools. I haven't come upon many others that I am interested in. I will be so happy when this is over. Blah, the application process again.
Anyways, Joe and I are doing great right now. We had a rough patch for a while but I suppose being seperated for 9 months will do that to a couple. We changed as people when we were apart and I think finally now we have come to know each other fully again.
I guess that is all for my update.. The take away message with this post would be.. Liz is scared shitless of applying to grad school and hates the idea of being rejected (especially from a school she really wants to get into). =/
