An Artist's Motivations



Oh how I wish we would start watercolor in painting class

Semester Update

All of my classes for this semester are pretty good.
I know having the mindset I do now is not a very good thing in order to do well in school... (I feel as though school is something that just gets in the way of what I want to do.) I'm having trouble trying to motivate myself to try hard in work and school.

This semester I am taking
Beginners Painting which is a lot of fun, I've taken a liking to the class, although it is very costly and time consuming. I like learning about all of the different types of methods people use to paint (acrylics), and I am developing my own style at the moment.
2D Art was a drag in the beginning. Which reminds me that I still have a lot of work to do for that class. My main reason for getting through the class is having a friend. He helps me get through the class with little jokes, offering me food, and we help eachother out. Although we're not that close, having him there makes me feel a little bit less insignificant in the world. Which to me, means a lot. Thank you my friend :]
Art History
No friends in this class - I'm on my own. The topic first intrigued me, yet I am having problems focusing in class. My mind keeps wandering off when the teacher talks about Egypt and wars which happened throughout the time periods. When I read the chapters on my own, it's almost a different story though. It's very interesting to me and I feel as though I want to keep reading.
Japanese 1
This should be my element, Yet when I sit in this class, I feel completely out of place and uncomfortable. The assignments are easy and I can finish them without much thought but again, the hardest thing for me to do is to motivate myself that school is important, and that- is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in life.

Not having a car puts me in a great disadvantage, and I barely can hang out with my friends or be independent, which stresses me and the people around me.

NOW

So College is very interesting. The professors here (that's to say the one's i've had so far) really try to get you to broaden your mind and to start thinking about things that we may not normally think about.

I've pretty much started living with Shane, my boyfriend and things are pretty.... Well... different.
I've never dated someone so DEMANDING. Haha, well I could say that my first boyfriend Chris was demanding but Shane.. He's so easily angered. I'm scared I'm going to hurt him with every little thing I do! But I guess that's one of the ways he's showing me that he cares.

We've had so many small fights escalate into something HUGE. It's scary. But I will keep trying. I think that's the best thing I can do for him.. FIGHT for him. I have a feeling that's what he wants from me. For the longest time in his life, so many people have given up on him that he's giving up on himself in a way. He's stopped trying.
Another thing that's been bothering me is half the time he thinks I am not ready for a relationship because of the way I act, but I think that the one thing he doesn't understand is that... that's just my personality. The way I act is just the way I interact with someone. Maybe to him, if he acted that way, It may mean that he wasnt ready for a relationship.. but to me, I know I'm ready and that I've been ready. I know that he's the only one for me and I will risk anything for him. I'm almost 100% sure that he doesnt think that way for me, but for the time being, I am okay with it. Love is something that grows over time and there is no rushing it.

But thinking over the last couple of days, Shane has mentioned that I've been taking him forgranted. I think it's very important that I really think over things before I do them and to really put myself in his shoes to see from his eyes what I've been doing. I've realised that although I think of myself as a sympathetic person, lately I'm not as observant as I should be. He sometimes surprises me with the things he says.

This is were I should leave it. ;D Till next time.

College

Haha, welcome to my blog page. I've decided that since this pretty much a new chapter of my life, that I should keep track of my thoughts as I progress towards my goals in college.
