I don’t always feel as if I fit in here in the city, I’m still a bit of a small town girl. I don’t always feel qualified to be going to an moderately renown “art school”. The silly thing is how excited people on the street get when they see a person walking with a black portfolio. Curiosity overcomes them, they simply must know, are you an artist? What’s in there? What stories can you share with them, what beautiful masterpiece are you toting around? Some of us are caring sketches or finish projects that we ourselves wouldn’t really consider art anyway, I find it funny how many fellow students have been stopped by pedestrians at least once. I may feel out of place sometimes, but as far as making friends goes, it’s so nice to be grouped with people with obviously similar interests. I can carry a conversation on the beutie of local buildings, my absolute love of the Muppet show, the habit of verbalizing little actions… or just about anything else most people find weird as if it normal. If I feel like a weed in a beautiful vase, I can take comfort that the people here often see beauty in just about anything, even weeds. Ok I need to get to my list of homework, I can’t believe Mid terms are coming up already! Also I have a laundry list of places to apply to And I’d like to see Nessie before tomorrow. For those of you who don’t know ArtPrize brought in some super cool art, nd the only one I wasn’t able to see yet… was the one I wanted to see most (I think they should leave him in the river… because it’s just that cool). Nothing say’s welcome to living here like the worlds biggest art contest and the entire city as it’s venue.

Ephesians 5:16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

God Bless!
