oh my god, what the hell have i gotten into? starting my Painting II class today. writing this on my lunch break actually, because i'm too nervous to eat. probably should tho, considering the amount of coffee i've consumed in the last two and a half hours.
on the one hand, i'm terribly grateful to have the class. it's kicking my ass into gear to get more work done, more than the scribbles and junk i've been doing on my own on the computer. i have a large canvas back at my apartment with a sketch already worked on it, but i haven't touched it with a paintbrush yet, and it's just been sitting there since September. i should be ashamed. this class is a 300-level, my first, and i'm so done for with the amount of work we have to do for it. first project alone, we have to have two paintings done for the crit in 3 WEEKS. that's this class for planning/brainstorming/research, and then the next two classes for actual painting. thank god they're 6-hours straight and that i've only got one other class this semester. it would've blown really hard to try and juggle three other 200-level courses on top of Painting II. i don't know how other people do it.
KELSEY DOES 6 CLASSES A SEMESTER. PLUS senior project. i'd collapse from it all. i have no idea how she manages it. i'm severely impressed.
posting up a piece i've been working on for almost a week now. still very much WIP but i'm getting less angry with it lately. i learned to step back from it when i start getting pissed, then going back once i haven't looked at it for half a day.
working through it with the help of friends and fellow artists on Y!gallery. this is the only post i'll be making here about it before it's completely finished. i hate repeating myself excessively.
it's going to be a long, frustrating, and awesome semester.

Hey, good luck with all that! Sounds like a good lot of stuff to stretch your knowledge of what you can really do. *grins* Sounds like you won't have to feel guilty about that empty canvas for long.
