Well, I wish I had something witty and insiteful to say, but I don’t. I feel better today. I slept most of the day yesterday. I honestly don’t know if it was an illness or stress. Could be the whole midterms thing. School was less stressful before I had a 4.0 GPA to measure up to. Now I feel like I not only have to do well, I have to do REALLY well and do all the extra credit and go the extra mile, bla bla bla. And I miss my studio. I miss it so much. I want to paint so badly. I just need to get through the last two midterms next week and things will get a little mellower. No they won’t. And see, I don’t want to write boring crap like this. I want to write incredibly tantilizing sentances full of gripping ideas and stories. I don’t want to talk about stressing over midterms. That is so boring. So look away.
Can I just say how weird it is how many potential employers I am turning away as of late? Really great companies that I would love to work for. And when I tell them I can’t work there because I’m going to school, they have, in almost every instance, tried to either find out when will be the first moment I’m free, or find a way to rope me in while I’m still in school via internships. Where were all these companies in 2001, 2002 when I was crying into my pillow at night because I couldn’t find anything more than little crappy websites that barely covered the rent? Where were they? strange how the world turns. Feast or famine as they say.
My posting about never getting comments sorta paid off. I got lots of emails. One from this very nice fellow artist, Tracy Helgeson, who I guess has been reading my blog for a while. Wait! Are you trying to tell me that not only do many people read my blog, some of them are artists too? Which adds to the overwhelming evidence that I too, must be an artist? Weird! Wait! Am I an artist? Holy crap, I think I am! How did that happen? Here’s my new motto: “do, be” It’s got a nice ring to it. do be do be do! Hmm, sounds kinda familiar. Maybe someone else already coined the phrase.
