A few things

Yes, I am aware that there is a problem with the site loading. No, I don’t know if/when it will be fixed. Last time this was happenning, my service provider said they couldn’t find anythign wrong. Of course, they did wait a week after I reported it, when the problem had resolved itself. Please be patient.

Here’s an interesting thing: How Compatible/Similar are You with/to me?

What else… I’m really tired. That’s something. Classes are kicking my ass. Homework, really. Each class session is 3 hours, and because of problems obtaining materiels required for homework due tonight, I couldn’t even start until last night after class. So from 8 to 12 last night I managed to do 10 of the 12 drawings we’re supposed to have by class today at 4:40. If I get out of here on time (yesterday I had a call go 15 minutes late) I can get home by 3:20 or 3:30 and have about 1/2 an hour to try to pound out the two remaining drawings and eat supper. I stopped last night from sheer exhaustion. I should maybe have stopped sooner, since I was 1/2hr late for work this morning (I will be takign 1/2 my lunch hour to make it up, so I can leave on time).

I am so tired right now. Studio art classes are not like any other classes I have taken before. Instead of 50 minutes of lecture and/or discussion or even an hour of lecture and an hour of lab work, there is 3 hours of surprizingly exhausting and intense work. Homework isn’t rote memorization or working out equations or reading or developing intelligent essays or anything else that is primarily a mental exercize. Homework is 3+ hours of the same intense physical application of technique, exhausting me and swallowing up my time.

Not that I don’t appreciate what I’m working towards. If I understand this correctly, I am teaching myself a skill and building pathways in my brain and so on and so forth that will eventually allow me to express myself through drawing and painting with more skill and accuracy in the future. It’s just kicking my ass right now.

  1. I feel your pain, working on my bladework for cooking is the same way.. just slicing and slicing and slicing and slicing…. Not looking forward to acual classes where I have to slice potatos to uniform slivers for 6 hours..

    I am curious about your class lessons. I would like to see what you are producing. (I was curious about what you might learn from the classes to begin with, but now that I am hearing how labor intensive they are I am really curious.)
