Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

This is the very crap that's sucking the life out of me right now. I am applied at three schools, accepted by two and waiting on the ASSHOLES at the other school, before I can look at everything and decide what to do.

Academically, good things are happening. I want to double major in English and either PoliSci or History, so I can teach both. I'm going to try to teach high or middle, while I try to get a gig at a college and work on my six year or PhD if I can. Next week is finals, and then I have a rough summer semester, and then I should be at a university.

What schools are you considering??

What do you want to do art-wise?? (Love the idea of art major.)

What do you love? Whose work do you adore?

wearing: black bathing suit, black t-shirt..
hearing: Reruns of Frasier in the background.
eating: Breakfast was horrible. I resolve not to eat again today, ceptin some Activa yoghurt. (I had eggs, badly seasoned.)
drinking: Ice water.
doing: Typing up last of Practicum folio (hurrah!!!) Making grocery list, getting ready to go to sister's pool.
looking forward to: Fall
feeling: Post-beer swirly head.
wanting: Something else.

Lash to generalized routine of sunrise and sunset: Meh!

oooh, pool! I'm jealous!! Is it indoors, or is it warm enough to swim where you are?

I just saw your post re: school stuff...yeesh. You're more overloaded than I am by far, I shouldn't even complain. A double major--EEEK!!! You're a brave soul...

I'm going to Humboldt, 'tis a state school and not too far distant from home, has a good art program, is affordable. Apparently has one of the most extensive metal-working programs in the state!! I shall make works in metal, yay!!

Let's see, lemme answer all them questions o' yours. I want to be an illustrator for children's books, but that'll prolly just be a sideline while I also do something mundane like teach elementary school to make a living...We'll see...

Whose work do I adore? Lots of illustrators, since that's the field I love...William Steig, Edward Gorey, Trina Schart Hyman, Mercer Mayer-- those are some of the big inspirations, people whose work was a huge influence on me as a kid. I'd love to do a book or two that some little kid somewhere remembers even after they grow up, the way I remember the work of those artists.
