I feel very quiet today. I don’t have anything interesting going on inside my head. Just quiet. I would like to sit in the grass and watch the branches blowing around in the breeze. I am approaching my work and tasks for the week with the same sense of quiet. Probably a very good thing since there’s a lot on my plate. In two weeks I get a week off from school. I’m starting to feel like life is becomig managable again. I think about the next three years and all the school I have ahead of me and it doesn’t feel as daunting right now. I hope I can finish my AA by next summer. I think I can.
My neck is still bothering me but is now tolerable. I had made an appointment for Wednesday night at my Chiropractor but I just don’t see how I can get there in time. So I cancelled and I’ll just have to tough it out for another three weeks. I hope I don’t regret that.
This weekend we finished organizing our tax crap and dropped off large envelopes at our accountant’s office. What a huge relief.
My Saturday art marketing class was once again very helpful. We went over all of my materials like Bio, Statements, Resume and really tore them apart. Its so great to get such detailed feedback. One woman in the class was scared off by it, now there are only two of us left. Sad because it’s a very useful class and I’d hate to see it go away. For next week I’m supposed to revise my stuff based on the feedback I got, bring in one of my marketing books (little hand printed books I make with paintings and artist info) and I’m supposed to come up with a schedule for the next year broken down into larger and smaller goals. There’s a lot to think about there. I got a pretty good start last night. It felt kind of good to be makig myself a Gantt chart. This is a busines after all, and I should be treating it with equal respect.
I spent a decent amount of time studying for my Western Civ test this Thursday. The rest of my free time this week will be dedicated to studying. I am behind in my latest painting project. I know what I’m going to do but I don’t know when I’ll have time to do it. Might have to postpone work on it til this weekend.
