only about 3 weeks left here at massart.

How am i feeling?  very overwhelmed.  Every time i turn around i have to spend another wad of money on printing or graduation gowns, or tickets, or trips to prepare for my brother wedding.  Trust me, Im not complaining about any of that, it all means its one step closer to moving on to life after college.

I’ve been painting a lot more recently.  I’ve never enjoyed acrylic paint until i did the circus poster series seen in my portfolio.  I think it goes along way to do something for myself rather then rush for a class.  Im working on an assignment right now for my experimental class that i think is going to come out well.  i need to finish it tomorrow, so we’ll see how that rush goes.

Everything right now feels so huge and insurmountable; but i know i’ll get through it.  If i were a mile from the top of Everest, i certainly wouldn’t turn back from sore feet.   There’s no way im going to turn away from school with 2 weeks of class left.

The Wild Boy knows my dilemma.

i sometimes hope the world is more afraid of me then i am of it.
