I am posting from school...
...as I wait for Owen's class to meet in thiry-four minutes. We're supposed to have a crit today, but the past four or so classes have ALL supposed to have been crits. We were supposed to have our last project due the Monday after spring break - then it got pushed back to wednesday. But Owen hired a model to pose for us for that class and last monday, and so the crit got pushed back to today. But now we're supposed to take a field trip into SF, and Owen still wants to try to squeeze the crit in - to make a long story somewhat shorter, the guy needs to learn how to plan better. The most wonderful thing is that even after pushing the deadline back a week and a half, I'm still only maybe like 60% done with the piece. Basically, I am insanely sick of this semester and I want summer to begin because I have many things that I want to start working on.
So Alexis told me you're taking color with Mendenhall next semester, Nikko...looks like we'll be in the same class. What else are you taking? I'm going to have an insane semester. I don't know how much of this I've expressed to you, but I've been freaking out pretty bad about illustration and art-making in general, and I had a long talk with both Alexis and a personal counselor about it. After discussing it with Alexis, I decided that I'm not taking illustration 5 next semester, I'm holding off on it until spring...since I'll get all the rest of my requirements out of the way, I'm going to only have thesis to take in fall 2007. But in the mean time, I'm taking 4 studio classes next semester: 2 printmaking, Litho 1 and Etching 1, a new class with Randy which is mainly painting from the costumed model (I don't know how much you've heard about that), and color workshop. Then I'm taking 2 academic classes to round it all out. Maybe I have a death wish, or maybe it'll be the most amazing semester ever. We'll see. Anyway, it sucks that we won't be in 5 and 6 together. I was all pumped about that. But I feel like I really need the time off from the program to just solidify myself.
so Tool is playing at the Paramount Theater! That's SO FREAKING COOL! I think it might be during finals week, though...either that, or right when summer starts. Hopefully the latter. I really want to go, because it would be nice to see them play in something smaller than an arena. And Beck's playing again, but tickets go on sale this sunday and are more than likely going to sell out in 3 seconds. I have no hope for that. Have you listened to the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album? Because I haven't.
Coachella seems further and further away the closer it gets. Time is going so slow right now. Me and Nyk are burning a ton of cds to listen to on the way down...mostly rock out music so we can take full advantage of our long hair. We are also borrowing a car-fridge from his parents in order to put the salami log, baguette and cheese brick that will feed us round trip.
Mkay. Time to go to Owen's class, and get a sort-of critique on a sort-of piece. I'd like to see some more work if you've got some, even if I haven't shown any of my shit...it's coming, I just need to FINISH something.
Roger that. Ten Four.
