finished my five pots with lids today, made two extra apothecary jars, two small bowls, and... that's it. ate a persimmon, given by sam. today's vibe wasn't too shabby. but the morning was just depressing as hell. life drawing caused so much discouragement. well, as it does every monday and wednesday morning from 9 am 12 pm. surely i enjoy it, but i know it will take me at least three terms to get it right. i had just dipped my feet in the water for gestures. i'm not even on the road to light and shade yet. i know everyone works at their own pace.

now i have to study for my ceramic and color quiz. i can do this.

i may have big news. i can't contain my excitement. but i have to see what my mom says.
