summer

summer is starting again. this weekend has been glorious. i have quite a lot to accomplish this summer however. ive received less then what i would consider satisfactory grades on my papers this quarter. im going to work on better time management and less procrastination, along with my writing skills. 

this will include actually writing in this blog. i also have, have to practice french. i need to bring up my gpa. i still have a 3.5, but to me, at an art school i feel this isnt good enough. 

i also have my thesis to start working on, i would prefer to have an entire years worth of research done before i start writing it then just  a quarter. ive also decided i really want to do the peace corps again. hopefully i can get in, it will be interesting to see if this can happen but i do have experience working with non profits so im hoping that helps. 

i also have been really considering becoming a preservation lawyer. i'll post more about this later, cuz im super sleepy and im going running tomorrow. 

tan, thin, and productive are goals for the summer. 

sincerely yours,

i was at a random low yesterday, it started out of no where i have no idea what happened but i just started crying for no reason.

rest of the day got better, i walked around savannah and realized how beautiful it was, side walk chalk fest, and awesome weather. me and megan got coffee and then walked around downtown. 

we then were actually productive and went to the library, got some research done for my two papers, i need to still go pick up the books. 

i then went over to waynes. gosh hes cute in his uniform, o dear this is how i'll get hurt, lets hope not. 

sincerely yours,

Long absence

It has been a super long time since i posted. some really awesome stuff has happened this week, and i hope it keeps being that way.

a choice

so i think i have finally picked at least an area of study for my thesis paper. ive always been fascinated with indian culture..dot not feather..along with the religion of the area as well. the combination has led me to thinking i will write my thesis on indian art. however i have not decided if that will be of the more traditional arts, or the contemporary. ive just picked out books on both from the library, and i really do find both to be very fascinating..maybe it can incorporate the two somehow. as for now it kind of gives me a bit of peace of mind knowing that is an area i am especially interested in. it probably doesnt help that all ive been doing is watching slumdog millionaire and listening to the soundtrack. ive also been watching a million interviews with dev patel..who is amazing and im officially in love with him haha. so i feel a bit less stressed about so much in my life right now as odd as that sounds now that i do have a million things to do. i feel as if i am heading in the right direction. ive got many things on my plate but i have been better about using my time, or at least i have been today and most of this weekend. im at the library at the moment, ive got most of my worksheets done for french just have to study for the test, which im actually going to do this time not lame studying. i've got flash cards and hopefully doing these worksheets the night before will help too. once it gets a bit later in the library with less people i'll probably listen to some french music as well, ive gotten really into french rap haha. well im gonna hit the books again. 

sincerely yours,

cafe writings

under the freezing circumstances that is at my current residence i have taken refuge at a coffee shop in town. gallery expresso to be exact, i love coming here, its so cozy, and a huge cup of coffee is super cheap. i never thought i would become this addicted to coffee, and late nights. i love staying up late, for absolutely no reason, half the time im just thinking, i come up with awesome ideas late at night. 

the current art on the walls at gallery are quite interesting, it all has this x-ray motif but is done with bright vivid colors, and interesting juxtaposition i think. i just have french homework for the night. then im hoping to get an article done for the paper. ive been listening to live streams of french rap music, trying to emerge myself more in the language. my mom got me some cds too on french language education, so hopefully i'll have time during the weekends to listen to those. i really need to get a good grade in french and anthropology. this quarter has been quite difficult im not sure why. im looking forward to spring break with vengeance. i think not having an art history class is affecting me as well, along with the fact that i really dont enjoy 3-d as much as i thought i would. its just so expensive i wish i could just make things that still qualify for the project, but with found objects or things that are much cheaper. my next sculpture has to be made out of foam core which is going to cost an arm and a leg. 

the gallery is pretty full tonight lots of usual faces, or at least people i have seen here just about every time i come here. this professor type is sitting at the next table over. i want to become one of those regulars. i wonder what people think im doing...

sincerely yours,

mur
