I think I just truly have a love for ceramics. Time after time, I find myself coming back into the studio regardless of checking or working on something that I have to turn in or not. This morning, I came in to put the three little bowls in the hot box because I am planning to trim them and put them on the cart before they get bisque fired. I'm thinking these bowls would perhaps make good holiday gifts. Today, however I have to go hoard any last Japanese garden related books left in the library and really start writing my term paper that's due Monday... I also have to finally pick a song for my 2d final protect. The objective is to compose an art piece that responds to the selected 30 second segment of any song. It sounds like a piece of cake, but nothing really is. I see this as a very intuitive assignment that may require almost more thinking and planning than doing. I am going to have to try to find balance between how much of my music history from the past can join hands with the skills I learned these past few months in the class. Despite my personal opinions about this 2d professor, I have to remember that this is for me and not for her. As I know, she'll just grade with a biased view for yet another project to come.

12 more days to go. One more life size portrait to do, one more term paper to write, one more AH final to study for, one more written test to do for life drawing class, two more pomegranates to draw, and this last 2d composition art project to work on. I can do it...


I've come so far this semester. I think this is a reward for me personally- that I performed and gave every course my best this semester. Sure, they were all to be graded, but none of that mattered in time.

I have good news for this summer.

edit:

i have washed 15+ bats that were left in the ceramics cupboard, threw away all plastic wrappers, returned clay that people let me borrow, checked the hot box about 10 times, put all things on the shelf, checked out my library books, washed all dishes from last night, made extras basmati rice for juan when he comes home from his geology field trip, made two cups of tea since, watched a couple episodes of youtuber's channels, did my bed, and settled back into my room for the workday to begin. i i realized i slept with my contacts on last night. bummer, my eyes are feeling so dry today. but i don't want to take them off because glasses make me feel uncomfortable when i am trying to focus on something serious. they're only good for when i want to lay in bed and cuddle and watch netflix.

the carrie diaries comes back tonight. too bad this girl has no cable. can't wait. juan's bringing oreos and raspberries home. i'm trying hard not to eat out. i'm saving for a big time thing.
