AAAAHHHH!! The mid-week blues came late this week, now it's more like the end of week blues. I think the problem is I have all this work ahead of me and I am apprehensive about how it will turn out. It's not the type of work that is like a research paper. You give yourself five hours and you will most likely have a decent product at the end. Art has all these variable, things you have to rely on besides your own mind and a piece of paper. IT'S ENDLESS PROBLEM SOLVING! Try and solves problems for three weeks straight. Tiring. But if I look forward in expectation, without worrying, I think I will be fine. Things always turn out, or get done, they might not be exactly the way you imagine them but they get done. And you have to learn to give up some things, and sometimes you get a pleasant surprise.

O I also got a part-time job back at sbux. It's the one closest to my house, and they never close later than 6p.m. I think it will work out fine and I won't get too overrun.

Also, here's my latest drawing class assignment. Hand studies.

1000 Objects!

I've got new specs for a project. It's supposed to be a site-specific installation using no less that 1000 objects. And the site has to be in or around my own home. BAAAAH!! I don't know what to do or what to do it with!! Ideas? Materials that I have been thinking of are, rice, or those light up glow bracelets (I found those packs of 15 at micheals for 1.50 again) I'd use that in conjunction with staples so that I wouldn't have to buy so many because the staples would count as object I would hope. I also was thinking to do patterns and designs with hair on the shower wall, but I think that has been done. My favorite example the teacher showed us was a wall that had been covered in post-it notes in interesting patterns. Well let me know  if any of you have got ideas!! AND SOON! (the proposal is due thursday)

OK. and here's the other.

Ok, here it is actually

Uncomfortable

Hey all. I am in Halifax, getting used to the idea of having to be uncomfortable again, not knowing anyone, scrimping pennies on groceries, eating on the floor, sleeping on the floor, not knowing where things are, or how to get to those unknown places. But like all new things, the beginnings can often be uncomfortable, and slowly, they become more and more... comfortable. And perhaps that could be another problem, because we like to make our lives comfortable, naturally, or at least for me it seems a natural thing to work towards. But I wonder, is that the point. No probably not. God can call us to do many uncomfortable things, and when things become comfortable again, well there is no guarantee they will stay that way for long. But there can be rest, and there can be peace, and there can be joy... in all things.

I bought a rice cooker today. That thing is COMFORTABLE!
