It's Over!

It's official. I have gotten through another semester of college. I say that like it was really bad and I'm glad to be through but I have mixed emotions about the end of the semester. I am tired and there are so many things that need my attention here but I am really going to miss the structure and friends. While I am at school I can work without worrying about the weeds in the yard or laundry. It's my time to do what I love. I have asked other artist how they make time for their work. One said she writes it down. I think I may need to work on that.

Last night I went out with Jerry and Tom (to be referred to as "the guys") for dinner and then to Slaton for several Tech student's art shows. The main reason we were there was to see the work of Joel Kiser, the boyfriend of a friend from South Plains. Lacey and I were the ones who stayed at the school late and taught ourselves the throw pottery on a wheel. Joel has accepted a position in the grad program at TCU and Lacey will be going to TWU in the Fall. Anyway, Joel's work was great. He draws, paints and does sculpture. There was some very impressive work. At another building there was pottery that was good.

On the other hand.....I hope some of those students have other career options.
