Joy Joy Joy

I love school!

Trust me, there's nothing scarier than not doing art for 2-3 years and suddenly being expected to run and swim with the big guns. Not to mention the THIRTY paintings in OIL in THREE weeks that I'm supposed to finish.

I almost had a breakdown on Monday. It was life-drawing and I drew this really horrible disproportionate figure of Libby and I drew a blank, I didn't know how to start over. BUT BUT BUT it's sorted. The second one turned out wayyyy better.

I'm freaked now though.

Other than the self-doubt of my own abilities, everything's cool. The people I've met are great fun - Smart, witty and oh-so-talented. I also met someone-not-so-unexpectedly-unexpected...an ex-classmate's brother with a lot to bitch about. He cracks me up!

So yes...fun fun fun with an equal amount of doubt makes this girl one contented and anxious art student. I want to do MORRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm also very proud of myself. I've nipped the unfocused doodling on canvas paper and now am able to actually draw something presentable. I may just be able to pull this off yet. Did I mention Wheeeeeee?!!!!!!

Oh, and to top off this joyous occasion, I got an e-mail about a job. Not much...but it'll help stave off those nasty bills till the other thing comes along.


Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
