What usually ends up happening is what I am doing right now. I have no other choice if I want a decent grade because the paper is due the next day. I never do this with my art projects anymore, I spend hours and hours every day on those and so I always have something quality ready. I have more motivation, and luckily, I get to paint people that I absolutely love and admire. Your spirit moves me to paint. Your lives and simply who you embody make me feel like my work has purpose.
I am so glad that I get to have this education, despite all of my whining. I'm starting to think about what it will be like without class every day, and I just know I will miss it. Well, I guess I better get back to my staring contest with Microsoft Word. Too bad I never win that one until I can hit save as and print. To all those feeling the weight of school or other time sensitive pressures and expectations, I offer the deal that my dad likes to tell me when things get tough: "if you keep trying, I'll keep trying." Thank you for all of your support during this time, and I love you all. Its almost the weekend!
I remember a time when I thought I was going to die. I thought the HBLL staff may have to remove my corpse from library. What was this time, you ask? That time was when I was writing my 24 page final BFA paper. It was horror, utter horror. But now, am I still living? Yes. YOU WILL MAKE IT. I can guarantee that. And when it's over, the terror will subside in your memory. And if you're lucky, you may even come out of it with a paper you're slightly proud of.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, when classes are gone, while you won't miss the stress, life still isn't perfect, and you may even miss some of the business. I know this from experience. Be grateful for every stage.
