Tomorrow morning I will be at RISD presenting my work. This means I made it through the first cut. I am going to rock the interview. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
When I started looking for schools I didn't even consider applying to RISD. "Been there. Done that." was my feeling on the matter. Dismayed that I was not finding programs that were up to my standards I decided to check out their MAT program. I saw this and fell in love with the school all over again. Doing my undergraduate at RISD was the first and only time I ever felt like I wasn't just waisting my life. Now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping I get some major financial aid and an assistanceship.
Update: things went really well at RISD. They were really impressed by my work and my reasons for entering the program. After speaking with the program head I pretty much have my heart set on going there...again. deja vu. 200 people applied for 12 spots. I am in the final 16, so I'm feeling pretty damn good.
I also bumped into my all time favorite professor and a couple of people I volunteered with and they were so warm and friendly. Being back there didn't feel anywhere near as sad and nostalgic as I thought it would.
Spent last week in Florida. Did lots of kayaking and cycling and roaming around outdoors. Drank a lot of really good liquor and ate a lot of really good food.
From far away I thought this was an octopus and i nearly plotzed myself.
I also went to the Shepard Fairey opening at the ICA. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear him DJ, as he was arrested on his way into the event. Why is it that every time all eyes are on Boston the BPD manage to royally fuck things up? Also, why can't people just say hello, instead of staring at you and stalking you on the internet later?
My updates are exceedingly lame. Maybe some day soon I'll actually sit down and write something good. MAYBE.
Anyway, I better go work on my presentation.
Hope you are all well. Thanks so much to those of you who have encouraged me along the way. Now that all of my applications are in I am itching to get out and get shitfaced, to be completely honest. Maybe I can buy you a drank...eh? Yea.

Oof. I totally agree. I might be going back to Michigan this weekend to pick up a car, but I'll let you know. The weather needs to make up its mind!!

Hmmmm. I'm thinking Ebony and Ivory would be better. If the brother comes, you can always do Justin TImberlake's hit "This diarama is wicked retarded"
