Spring 08

This semester got off to a rocky start for me - especially emotionally. Today is the turning point, I believe.
I'm psyched about my pronto plate idea, it just came into my mind last night, free flowing.
I can't wait to develop the roll of film I took over break.
I made my first neg. from my pinhole (which sucked cause my camera let some light in, but I got to use the dark room!).
I burned thru today's paycheck yesterday at Cord.
I picked up my sketchbook from Mat[thew] a few minutes before he even sent out the email to come and get them.
He told me my sketchbook was one of the best he's ever gotten (me[doubtfully]:"really?"), in that it really worked thru my ideas, and I filled the pages up (the 60 drawing sketches kinda helped).
I guess he didn't really read all the writing on the pages, nor share it around "friends."
I started my new all-inclusive sketchbook for this semester, and I'm already filling the pages up.
I've already completed my first drawing six (aka one) drawing that is due Tuesday.
I don't know, it's like I woke up this morning invigorated, ready for this year to start. Ready to prove myself as an artist.
My hands smell like fixer and I'm just really happy right now.
I'm even blocking the cold chill in the air out of my mind and looking at the beautiful sun shining thru the grey.
All that is missing right now is my boy. We don't get to see each other every waking moment like we did last semester, winter break, summer break... I wish I could be less reliant on him for my own personal happiness, but it's hard when you love someone that much.
