What can I say? I've just had so much school work that I haven't had time or really felt compelled to write lately. I don't want to get burned out and force myself to write here, I prefer it as more of an outlet or catharsis when I feel necessary.
In semi-interesting news (to me), I have a test on Thursday morning which I referenced in this post. (that's not the interesting part) My professor has a rule that no one can enter the class once the first person has left, so if you come in after someone has already completed the exam and left, then you're out of luck. I happen to appreciate this rule in more ways than most others probably do. He commented on the lack of parking at school, which I will agree is a serious problem, but then went on to say that the earlier you get there, the more parking spots are available. It seems to be a pretty obvious logic. So, if you want to be sure that you'll get to school on time to take the test, you should probably get there early...duh! I'm glad that he at least made the comment to the entire class, unfortunately, the frequent offenders came in after he'd said it...go figure!
On Friday I am going to be painting a ceiling. My mom's friend (and my former co-worker)'s brother asked if I could paint a sky on his ceiling. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do something similar to The Quarter in the Tropicana in Atlantic City. (sorry, couldn't find a better image) I'm pretty excited, this will be my second paid artistic endeavor. But, to be completely honest, I don't really feel right being paid more than what my supplies cost. I never considered myself to be more than just creative. I'll openly admit that I'm awesome at arts and crafts projects, but would never give myself the title of an artist. Fortunately for me, other people do and are interested in my work! My dad, who is always the last to acknowledge anything (simply because he's oblivious) also requested that I paint the downstairs bathroom in my parents' house. Freelance painting could prove to be a good time filler and maybe make a little money here and there. We shall see.
It seems as though I've got a potpourri of skills, if only I could arrange them into some sort of career.

do not make the same mistake I made for so long - YOU ARE AN ARTIST, so just go ahead and incorporate it into your identity. And of course you should be paid for your time as well as the supplies. Believe me, that man will cherish what you did to his ceiling and will consider it money well spent.
