I haven’t been this excited/overwhelmed in a really long time. In almost 9 months to be exact. I remember laying in bed at night during my internship portion of my semester abroad unable to sleep because my mind was racing with project ideas and looking forward so much to the future. It’s happening again. I’m just having one of those days where I am looking at this semester and giddyyyy thinking about the things laid out before me. Liiiike…
Tomorrow I get to go to Illinois to see two of my study abroad friends, Rachel and Caleb!
I’m excited about this for a million reasons, but two that stand out are because 1) Rachel just got engaged and I get to take her engagement pictures! and 2) because I love the mess out of those two. It’s going to be 4 days of shenanigans, talking about Costa Rica, and speaking spanglish/in abbreviations. I cannot WAIT.
I’m in the process of organizing an art fundraiser for Charity:Water.
I’ve been soo encouraged and amazed to see all the people already getting behind this! It’s going to be amazing. It’s still in the works, but it’s going to include some kind of arts fair/market-ish thing featuring Howard Payne and local artists plus a “water walk.” Details soon, and if you’re interested in donating items to sell send me an email!
I AM FINALLY EXCITED ABOUT MY ART MAJOR.
This is a big deal for me. Being at a small school, our art program does not provide the best opportunities, but because of an amaazing new professor named Pickens, opportunity has RISEN and it’s GLORIOUS. Just this year I feel like I have grown soo much as an art-lover/artist/whatever. I’m discovering my style, my passions, and what I want art’s role to be in my life. Three other artists and I got to put on a student-created, student-run art show, I got to paint with oils today for the first time ever, and Pickens is in the process of getting us space to create a collaboration mural in the library. I am LOVING it. What better time than for my senior year right?!
Anywayyy life is good. I’ve got some engagements and a buttons-n-blossoms blog to post, so be on the lookout for that and have a GREAT day.
