long time, no see

wow, i have been so busy that i have not even had time to look up and take a breath. i cannot believe that school is almost out for the summer...i have had so much work on my plate that the fact that today is already a week into april has caught up on me.

only 4 weeks!!!

summation

this week has been hectic, many tasks to accomplish, meetings to attend, papers and other such things to write. i am glad that is has come to and end. i am looking forward however to the college art association 96th annual conference that is taking place at the end of the month in dallas. there are a lot of outstanding scholars and artists coming!

also, a strange occurrence, i was sitting in my living room late on tuesday night, and the whole house shook, and then an additional rumble a few moments later...it was so unsettling. i don't know what it was, but i heard that people felt it all over town.

i am contemplating going on the london trip with professor stark and dr. way this summer. i think it could be a really awesome opportunity to earn some credits and get away from dallas for a while. i will see...if i end up getting one of the internships that i applied for i will most definitely take that opportunity, but if not, london would be an incredible alternative.

we shall see.

crazy day

today was so odd, the wind almost made me take flight, there were fires on every corner, and tree branches falling all around me. the art building's lights went out, and as a result my museums class was cancled. the world was definatly weird today.

this semester is going well so far, busy...but going well none the less. i have so much on my plate, what with my classes, my job, my family, my friends...when is a girl to sleep?

i applied to MoMA for an internship that would take place over the summer, I also applied to the Guggenheim, i have my fingers crossed that i get one of them...we'll see.

tuesdays are so exhausting...i have political science from 9:30-10:50, archaeology from 11:00-12:20, latin american art from 12:30-1:50 and then museums from 6:00-8:50

oh the busy days, homework filled nights...i need a cup of coffee from jupiter house...

committment

i have finally committed to which classes i will take this semester. my schedule includes; topics in latin american art (20th-21st century mexico), art of ancient rome, understanding art museums, popular american music and archaeological science. i think all of them are going to turn out to be extremely interesting and i can't wait to learn about all of these subjects. i now have two jobs on campus, i am the student assistant for art history methods for dr. abel, and i am a staff writer for the yearbook. it will keep me busy, but i think it will be a lot of fun!

new year

i don't know about the feeling others have, but often i do not feel any different after the ball drops in times square, and the calender page turns from december and january. it seems often, that january first is simply another day, nothing out of the ordinary - but, this year i feel the monumental quality of the new year. i see a year full of possiblity, hope, beauty and peace...a year that i will delve into fully without restraint, a year marked by so many tremendous events. i have secured a new job on campus, i will be serving as a student assistant for art history methodologies at the undergraduate level, i am applying for internships for the summer in new york, and a myriad of other things. i hope and pray that the new year will bring peace and love to every individual out in the world who seeks it. that is my wish, that is my dream. happy new year to all...and to all a good night.
