school is done
i haven't been this happy that a semester is over since the last semester of high school. this was the hardest fourteen weeks i have ever been through; lots of crying (fitting that i cried in my last critique for my hardest class), wanting to give up art altogether, many hours of panic and days of functioning without sleep. as much as i have learned, i also feel like i grew up a lot. the biggest lesson i have learned is being positive which relates to being more self-aware of how you project yourself to others. it's easy for me to be negative and critical of myself but now i can see how that could be a real problem in the professional context after i graduate school and build my career because people don't want to work with those who project too much negativity. so i decided to make a conscious decision to work on that. honestly, i forget how fortunate i really am-- i'm twenty years old studying what i love most in what i know is the best school for me, have supportive parents, teachers and friends and have a lot of time left to become who i want to be. i can't ask for more.
i'm excited for this summer because there are MANY MANY things i'd like to do. after taking the materials class at school, i'm much more open to designing 3D pieces so i'm planning to crank out them out. i also want to make a whole army of plush toys after making one for my digital illustration class. maybe i should put up an art blog? non-art related goals are, well, first and foremost taking care of myself. not that i let myself go during school but i do need to start eating healthier (for my skin, especially) and work out (because i haven't been doing that at all). i want to stop eating red meat altogether. i'd like to read more, drive to new places, explore outside of los angeles, and just enjoy life more. it's going to be great.
