Well, I can't believe there's only three more weeks until break is over, I feel like I've hardly caught my breath.... which is probably just because work has been so tiring.... but I guess it's better than sitting on my couch every day being bored and unmotivated to do work. This exhausting winter of work is also making me think again about taking 21 credits next semester. I kind of want to drop Ivan's elective the more I keep thinking about it. I mean I loved Structures II, but he also killed us by giving tonsss of work at the end of the semester... and I feel like he has a tendency to do that. The benefit of taking that class would mean I could take fewer credits during my thesis semesters... which is probably the smarter choice, especially because I'll have to take Cities/Lands and Case Studies then, too.
Ahh, and I'm watching a show about Hawaii now... it makes me want to return to summer sooo much. Martha's Vineyard was like the best dream. Being there during Illumination and going to the beach every day ... I really don't think there could have been anything better. All semester long I kept thinking about how little time it had been since I was there... the semester went by so fast it made it feel as though we had been at the vineyard only a few weeks before any given day.
Now, I have to look forward to taking another unpredictable vertical studio and only hope that I'll have time to join the equestrian team again. I really hope this vertical isn't as stressful as the Oatman one, but I also like being in a studio with people I'm friends with... no matter how annoying it gets, or how poorly-run it is. Then, I'll be in cultural anthropology and sensory culture... which I'm hoping will be my fun [easy?] classes... kind of like writing and philosophy from last spring. And the spring always goes by twice as fast as the fall... and within that quick run of time I'll have to decide quickly what I'll be doing over the summer. I've got Envision looming over my head at this point, as well as Grimshaw waiting in the background, and then there's field school which is a far-off option at this point, but something that could come right to the forefront depending on how the semester goes and what my plans for grad school may become.
And then there's this portfolio that should be happening right now... well not even 'happening' it should actually be done... and it's not even really started. I think I keep putting it off because I hate how few graphic talents I have. It'll probably end up being pretty bland and ugly compared to most archies... just because I don't know as much photoshop and illustrator as I should. I really thought second year that I was doing good with those programs... even ahead of most people, but I seem to have fallen behind at this point which is disappointing to know. But I guess this is enough of complaining and wondering and procrastinating. I should be reading, portfolio-ing, or sleeping if anything.
