Some will wonder what I am doing here right now. This wasn't my plan, but when do plans go accordingly? I decided once again to drop classes. Last Semester I was so ready but the school wasn't. This time the school had things ready for me but physically and mentally I wasn't ready.
although I did try a few days, I found the classes very boring and not what they were decribed as. My bronchitis left me extremely tired and unable to cope with the commute, I knew this would go away in a couple of weeks, but........why would I want to spend all this time and money on things that were not what I wanted? I am ready to create, my pencil drawings are better everytime I sit to sketch, my studio was clean and organized. Did I want to sit thru four months of dull classes with mediorcre teachers? ( due to my illness I got registered late and all the good classes were full)
I feel very confident that the timing just wasn't right, right now. When the time is right I will find that perfect apartment and the classes I want will have room for me. Maybe I will get professors instead of teaching assistants that don't look like teenagers......
I can grow and learn on my own. Maybe I can take this time to attend some art workshops. I know I can play around and try new techniques on my own. That's how one really learns, by doing. Studying 20th century lit and watching movies is not going to improve my painting techniques.

I didn't know you had canceled the school thing... but don't feel bad about it... I did the same thing a few years ago. And I just started a new job and ended a new job in one day... lol... I think that at this point in our lives we KNOW what we want and don't want to waste our time if it's NOT what we want... I wish I had practiced this years ago when I stayed in unhappy realtionships way to long than I should have.
