4 days.....
Ok, so the show is 4 days away. I got three works accepted into the Juried show, on top of being a part of the main graduating exhibition. I also learned that my father will in fact be driving from Scarborough to Thunder Bay on thursday, and leaving friday night right after the show. I dont know how this is all going to pan out. I am nervous, terrified, and I am second guessing my artistic abilities and whether or not my work will even come close to being as impressive as some of the other people I am exhibiting with, not to mention trying to live up to my own expectations from last year. I am sure I can just put this under the heading of "preshow jitters" but I still feel as though this is my one chance to prove to everyone that what I have been doing for the past four years of my life wasnt a complete waste, and is actually worth something. Of course, I could always pull the arogant artist and assume the naysayers are too ignorant to even really know what any of it is all abobout. Oh well, at least i will look good (my mom is getting me a new suit [if they have any that will fit me] for the show). and on another note, Mr Malcolm told my mom that I did amazing at my placement and that he was very impressed with me. I will be glad when this week is over. Tuesday is the first day I will be able to sleep in in over sixteen days. I am tired, I am edgy, I am drained, i am anxious, i am emotional, and I am panicky. But its ok, cause really, monday night is our anniversary of six months (best six months of my life), friday is the show, saturday is your birthday, and sunday is a day off (spent with you, where all i have to do is focus on making you happy)I am going to go to sleep now (or at least go to bed and try to sleep), cause I have to bring my works to the gallery tomorrow. it better stop fucking snowing cause I AM doing metal works that will RUST INSTANTLY and I dont have another 40 hours to sand them down. wish me luck. and remember everyone: Friday March 10th, 7:30pm, @ the Thunder Bay Art Gallery......
