man, it's only the first week of school and procrastination is already setting in. i'm supposed to be making a journal entry everyday... looks like i've slacked off a bit. but all for a good reason! this weekend, i moved. gabriel helped... a lot, haha. caitlin, annie, and i now live in an AWESOME house in oregon hill. it's grey with white trim, and sits at the end of a cul de sac... which means lots of parking! there's a big front porch, perfect for sitting on in the summertime. we have a large living room, kitchen, a very blue bathroom. the bedrooms are upstairs, along with the washer and dryer. we also have a fenced in backyard. i'm super excited about this place!
today, i walked to mama zu's and picked up an application. it was really dark in there; kind of intimidating. there were about 5 people about 5 years older than me, sitting around, talking. i felt kind of like a kid. it was weird. but whatever, i need a job, and a job 2 blocks away from my house would be most ideal. i think this neighbhorhood is really cool. it seems kind of... artsy/eclectic. which is always nice.
i feel like this week is going to be pretty crazy. i have a self portrait (made entirely out of trash) due tomorrow, for my surface research project. i also have my focused inquiry paper (which i haven't even started yet, ahh). then, on thursday, i have this impossibly difficult/time consuming still life to reproduce in full scale... out of wire. this week probably wouldn't be too stressful if i had started on all of these things earlier (duh), but gabriel was in town, and i wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, since he left for new york today.
well, i guess i'm going to start on my paper now. wish me luckkk. :/ |

this has nothing to do with freewriting for my paper, but i think it's an awesome photograph, haha.
-not being able to swim (why not, the awkwardness, how gabriel tried to teach me in california, swimming at the river, how it pours into other fears)
-moving (stumbling across items that i own, how they describe me, what they are, why i have them)
-expanding my cultural identity (moving far away from my father's views on racism, the confederacy, etc.)
-the identity of an artist (seeing things differently from other people, creative thinking, new ideas)
-how music connects me to other people and defines me as a person (the music i like versus the radio media, how i have met people thru music, common ties in the music i listen to)
-photography (how photographers can define themselves as not only artists, but narrators, story tellers)
WHY DID I JUST FALL ASLEEP OMGGGG. |
