Withdrawal

Well, after a half of a semester of all-nighters and caffeine addiction, i decided to withdrawal from my advanced writing class. it was just too much to handle- completely unmanageable. i am already less stressed. i was actually skipping painting class to do homework for writing class- and its just a gen ed! so now i can focus more on painting.

i finally officially switched my major to painting. i am no longer a zombie of art ed. i am so excited but scared. it something that i need to do. i have to paint. my paintings are improving so much, that it would be a waste not to pursue it. the plan is that i graduate in two years like i was supposed to. i will have a BFA in panting. then ill take off a year or so and travel around the world. ill go to the Midwest and paint the deserts like i have always talked about. then ill go to grad school for a MFA in painting and teach college!

my life has been so busy with school, work, friends, and everything else. the cancer ordeal finally stopped after my grandfather and a few others died. so i am trying to move on. Ive been painting pochades and portraits and things. my next subject will be time and schedules and the business of everyday life. i just want to be enveloped in art. also, i will have a 2 hour break where my writing class was, so i will probably be updating this out of boredom more often. hopefully the next time i post ill have some crazy story from tonight. were driving all night and eventually to new york. no sleep. lots of coffee, food, loud music, and friends.

love always,
