graduating from college..
and im kinda sad about it.
the program im in makes it so that you become a tight little family in the studio - you basically have to live with these people for many many hours in a small space. im going to miss them. everyones going off and doing there own wonderful and amazing thing, as am i, its just kinda sad. plus when i graduate, i loose my studio space. i loose the floor that i can spill anything on, i loose the shop, and i loose the hamock that has saved me many times after sleepless essay writing nights. i'm going to miss having to do art 8 hours a day, then continuing on for another 4 just because. holy shit i dont want to graduate yet. it means i have to start thinking about the next step in my education process - which is going to be traveling, but thats scarey on its own. (its exciting too) it just seems like it went by waaaaaaay too fast, and i dont want it to end yet. i love school, my teachers rock, and i was learning and doing what i love all day every day. april is going to be a sad sad month. p.s. im super excited to go back to school. i thought the break wasnt going to be long enough, but its definately too long. weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i dont think i'll find a more beautiful campus.... and i dont know if i can be drunk on other campuses or in other studios. watch out for this semester, there is going to be alot more drinking due to the grad show preperations.

come up to the studio, anytime. except wednesday afternoons, we go to art history and we have leave the studio.
im in the upstairs, and will soon be stocking my cuppard with beer and wine. and i have this massive window upstairs that keeps shit cold when you put it on the window sill. we have a mini fridge downstairs, but theres a no-alochol rule on campus, and the security gaurds check it for beer. (we had a little trouble last year)

When I did my program @ Kwantlen (1.5 yrs), it was hard for it to come to an end. We were a tight group (16 students) and we got really close taking all the same classes together, spending breaks together, working into the wee hours of the night on projects together... I came out of it with some good friends too. But you will take those memories and that growth with you, but you can't stay there forever. And sometimes it's scary to be thinking about leaving that safety net and moving onto your own new agenda... But that will only bring more growth and exciting opportunities. Enjoy your last semester, and enjoy your travels following! Congrats on graduating this year :)

i'm absolutely terrified of graduating. i'd hoped by this point to have some direction, some career prospect, but instead i'm just older with an expensive piece of paper to hang on my wall. i'm going to travel as well, hopefully that will clear things up. i used to be so positive that i would go to grad school, thinking at first of law school then considering various masters programs, but now i'm not entirely sure i will. school is such a safe haven, but at some point we have to face the real world, right? i should hurry up and buy a plane ticket, and press that 'apply for graduation' button, otherwise i may be tempted into drawing out my BA to last for 5 or 6 years, like a lot of my friends have.
