Topic: AT LAST!!!
Well, as usual it has been quite a week. The accident left minor damage which they are going to fix, and I am going in today to have the bump on my head examined (very funny...) because it is giving me a dull headache, and I think I got a bit of whiplash...it doesn't appear to be anything big-a couple of chiropractor appointments and another week of healing. I'll put some Panaway oil on the sore muscles.
The bigger injury was to my pride when after all of that running around (I was going to get my letter of recommendation from Gwen when we got hit) I DID NOT GET ACCEPTED INTO THE B.F.A. Program! Their reason was that because I was "new" to the studio they really didn't know anything about me, (Hello-that's what a PORTFOLIO AND LETTER OF INTENT IS ALL ABOUT) and they only had 3 spaces open and 5 people applied. I have a definite opinion about one of the panel members, which I am going to set free to the ethers for transformation-let's just say, we have known each other before (other lifetime) and I must have really ticked him off. I figure this means I have more important things to do next year than "be validated" as an artist by the academic community.
What this means is that I will get my B.S. degree (how funny is that)at the end of this term, and it still won't really matter in my daily life any more than it has for the last 20 years, but it WILL be crossed off my list. Plus if I want to get an M.F.A. or something this will be out of the way. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH....
Wait-I still have 4 weeks and 2 days of classes with 3 more response papers due for Alex's class-AND a project paper AND two five page essays for a final-I am not out of the woods yet! I am getting an A in Math so far! And I'm sure in Ceramics. Still waiting to see how the Geology exam went (I feel pretty good about it)
AND TODAY I AM GOING IN TO APPROVE THE PROOFS FOR MY OFFICIALLY PRINTED ZODIAC CARDS!!! THIS IS WHAT BEING AN ARTIST IS REALLY ABOUT!!! Gotta run...see you in the funny papers!
