Sometimes.....

After a long hard day of art projects, I wonder if I am crazy....

Who in their right mind would take printmaking or lithography for fun when they don't need it for their major?

Yeah sure let me play with some deadly chemicals all for the sake of some pretty cool images. 

Let me kill brain cells to learn techniques I'll never use again.

But then I think, when will I ever get to do insane stuff like this ever again?

Let's face it, friends you make when you're slowly killing yourselves for the sake of art, are friends you know you can count on for the rest of your life. (That probably doesn't make any sense, but it does in my head. Basically those friends help you to KEEP you from doing something wrong & killing yourself). 

Plus there is this side of me that says, do you really want to quit this? Even though it's really hard and scary it's also really fun. I guess it's that addiction to the wild side of life that keeps me going. 

But just FYI. If you're ever thinking of doing a printing class, stick with intaglio (btw the g is silent), it is MUCH easier & more forgiving than lithography. Lithography is for the mentally insane I'm pretty sure.....

Which is starting to make sense why my teacher kind of laughs like a crazy person....

That explains so much.....

anywhoooo, that is all for tonight. Have a good week!!!!!

Can't wait to see my family this weekend!!!!!!!!

Might be a little woozy 

due to chemicals...

BRAIN DEAD

Ever have those days that no matter how you try you feel you are in some thick fog and cannot escape? That is me today.

Somehow all my energy (though not much to begin with) was used up after cleaning, making lunch, doing laundry and homework. Given I was disturbed by an unpleasant pain this morning at 4am that lasted for nearly 3 hours, putting a damper on getting my beauty rest.

Oh is it not lovely to be a girl sometimes.....

Alas after fighting cramps for about half the day, along with chores and one class down, I seem to have no energy to think. This would not be so bad if I did not have a 3 hour class to endure. I will pray that despite my fog and my body depleting my energy rapidly that I shall survive.  And when it is all over I get to spend the evening with Garett.

Oh the simple and marvelous things that we cling to to get us through our worst days.

He truly is a blessing, more than I can say, but amazing nonetheless.

Off to endure  the next 180 minutes. Wish me luck!

I wish I had some caffeine.
