I’ve been neglecting my artist self. I’ve been spending way too much time just relaxing and partying here. It’s time that I get back to my roots and remember why I’m here. I am inspired by plants like the bird of paradise, and I came here to be surrounded by beautiful things to be inspired by for my work. I am taking action by booking two studio days for the weekend. I plan on getting more done and actually feeling accomplished. So far, I don’t think my professors are impressed. Yesterday I messed up big time. I got so distracted hanging out with locals and just drinking and socializing and sleeping in and being lazy that I ended up being really late for class. I bet my professor thinks I’m just another lazy art student. I’ve gotta change my image and focus on the things that matter. I want to dive into print making and ceramics and get involved in the art scene here. There is so much I can learn here conceptually. My mind just hasn’t been focused since I got here. My head is scattered and I’ve been trying too hard to settle in. Also, I’ve been letting a bunch of new friends distract me. I can’t keep this pace going. It’s time to KICK SOME ASS! in the studio 😀
