My Next Week (2 actually) of Hell
Avah | December 3, 2007
Or why I shouldn’t be writing this post right now.
I took 4 studio art classes and and art history.
What the fuck was I thinking?
And I’m an idiot. I let myself get behind. I knew in the back of my head that it was going to pile up right about now. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Here’s the damage:
Art history- 1 paper that is a week late (as of tomorrow). Going to buckle down and finally do that tonight.
2D design- oh, all of the 2nd half of the semester’s worth of work. Basically just going to concentrate on the final project which I haven’t started (nor do I have all the supplies for)
Painting- Need at least 3 (preferably 4, though supposed to be 5) mostly done paintings. Have one started from September. Threw one together last night.
Adobe class- Way behind on project- need 3 compositions- all about me. Easy, right? I just fucking hate Illustrator. I’ll just end up doing it in Photoshop. But then I need to do a “book” with InDesign.
Photography- Where all my enegry has been put this semester. One would think I’d be ahead of the game here, right? Well, maybe if I weren’t so concerned with perfection here. I spent 11pm-4am Saturday in the darkroom (well, including clean-up) and worked another 4ish hours yesterday and basically only got 2 prints (I also developed film), but after doing some editing with my friend, I decided to go in a slightly different direction, so even though I have other prints that I did, I won’t be using them. And then others that I did I’m going to redo to crop a bit. And just other shit.
So, yeah. This is why I’m really not socalizing for the next 2 weeks.
As it is I think I’m going to dig into my stash of uppers which I’m hoping will send me into a manic state of creativity as has happened in the past. (True story, once I took this medicine in a high-ish dose after missing it for a few days and I didn’t sleep for a day and spent about 18 hours in the ceramics studio without eating. Yeah. That’s what I need right now.)
So, if you see a post from me after this, yell at me, ok? Until like, Dec 15th, really.
And I promise next semester I won’t do this again! (But I only have 2 studios in the Spring at least.)
