Isn't it interesting that if you have one drop of black blood (whatever that means) in ya, you are no longer considered white; and if you are 75% white, you a considered black?
Hehehe, it's amazing, almost as if the world is divided in whites and non-whites.

Dazed and confused
So I'm supposed to come up with a coherent body of work for school and future galleries. It's turning out to be more difficult than I thought, not because I don't have any ideas but because I have too many. The worst part is that the more I explore the more ideas I get. It's like I've just opened Pandora's box. Maybe it's time I tell Pandora to close her legs. I think I've had enough of her box.
Hum...Pandora. I can see a red head full bush with an ornate sun dress...You SEE! Here I go again. My imagination just doesn't stop. It goes so fast I hardly have the time to put anything down. By the time I start I'm already somewhere else in my mind. My mind moves like a butterfly. I can't be bothered to do any of this menial work, I just wanna fly and zig zag through the beautiful flowers of this vast world.

Soon school starts...
That's a mouthful to say.
Hum, so I haven't written anything here lately...Duh! School starts soon and I can't wait. This will be a great school year, I can feel it. Next project will be Graduate school. I'm not sure where I'll go. I guess it depends where I get the most money.
I feel good. I don't know why and I guess it doesn't matter. I just feel good. It feels great to be alive, to have this body and to experience this universe. I wish I could live forever but I guess the fact that I won't makes life so precious.
The wheels of life keep turning...I belong to you.

New work at school
So I had my first Special Problems in Drawings class today. I really like it. The teacher is James Wu.
We worked with a wax resist technique using colored ink on paper. It was a great experience. I did 2 and I can't wait to do more Thursday.
I like the fish better, it was my second but the first one is cool too! :))

Ok, so where were we?
I'm so pissed and disappointed that my work, my charcoal drawings weren't even accepted in the juried show!!! WTF? I'm so tempted to see what has but I'm afraid that I will seriously lose my temper hahaha.
Anyway, moving right along. I started school at UMSL Tuesday. So far so good. I like the teachers there. UMSL has a lot more space than Fontbonne. Even the undergraduates have studio spaces! Niiiiiiice.
I'm still waiting for my loan money so that I can buy the materials for the classes.
Meanwhile I've been doing some henna.
Here are some shots:

School
So it turns out UMSL IS way cheaper than Fontbonne. So I'm going to UMSL :))
I'm starting school on the 19th. I'm really excited. It'll be a new experience and I'll be working toward a goal probably for the first time in my life. It's really weird to have a plan. I have my student ID, all financial is filled out, my classes registered, I'm all set!!!

New year
Ok so I haven't posted much lately. I've been sick with some kind of flu. This one is a little more tenacious than the ones I've had before. I don't take medication so it's taking my body a little while longer to go through the process but I can feel I'm getting better.
So new years...xmas...I didn't do anything really. I just focussed on resting, thinking....thinking about the life I'm leaving behind. I can feel I am leaving a life behind and starting a new one except that there are elements from my past that have resurfaced. I thought I had dealt with certain issues but evidently not. It's almost as if pieces of my heart were handed back to me.
I feel a lot more relaxed. I notice I don't really get upset at dumb drivers anymore...strange, I use to enjoy that. I notice that I let people talk and talk without the need to inject my point of view. The weird part is that I'm not disconnect when I do it either, I'm there with the person. I just listen.
I can feel this year will bring big changes... I am curious as to what will happen. I'm planning on going to school but I'm still not sure if I'm going to Fontbonne or UMSL. I thought USML would be cheaper but I was wrong. After you add up all the extra 'fees' UMSL is almost the same price as Fontbonne. It's unreal!
A magical fairy came into my life. An unexpected fairy brought me a piece of my heart that I had left behing? Or was it kept from me? Either way I feel a great peace was bestowed upon me and has graced me with its presence.
I think/feel that all the 'pieces' are coming back to me and everything is becoming whole again. I'm not sure what that means. I guess we'll see.
