so last week was the first week back after break and to paraphrase my thoughts and a fellow BACer -- i almost wish we hadn't had a break, i needed it but it really broke my momentum
just a quick update, as i have -- as ever -- homework (suprisingly (HA -- not!) studio)
the boy is back on the island. yes, pheebee officially chastised me and threatened to throw me off her island. however, this is for fun and so pheebee can live vicariously ;)
studio is driving me insane -- correction, the instructors infuriate me on a regular basis anymore and i'm in serious need of some solution that allows me to come to terms with the fact that they are in charge of my grade for this course -- but i'm doing my best to keep some perspective on the whole situation (though that does mean I did get a wild hair of an idea involving transferring to 'another' school... maybe more later...)
i also added autoCAD 2d to my courses -- paid some more tuition and (insanely?) upped my number of courses hours from 11 to 12 a week, and my homework by another three. i now take autoCAD (4-7pm) and design principles (7.15-10.15) on Mondays, studio (7.15-10.15) on Wednesdays and perspective drawing (7.15-10.15) on Thursdays; have got somewhere around 15-20 hours studio homework, 3-4 hours perspective homework, 3 hours principles homework, and nearly 3 hours of autoCAD (i do the additional exercises when i can squeeze them in) in a week -- there that's my busier-than-thou speech for the semester oh and somewhere in there i fit in 40 hours for a workweek... ... ...
angela and i are chatting out the details of our pending voyage en Europe in may -- i can't wait to be back!
nothing really exciting -- just the usual humdrum of a busy life of work, school, occasionally some sleep and now a boy
but this i know ... life is good
To finish, happy national poetry month

The Heart as Origami
-- Jane Hirschfield
-- Jane Hirschfield
Each one has its shape.
For love, two sleeping ducks.
For selfless courage, the war-horse.
For fear of death, the daylily's one-day flower.
More and more creased each year, worn paper thin,
and still it longs for them all.
Not one of the lives of this world the heart does not choose.

wow. you will really need that vacation!
i get the feeling you want me to come visit you in boston... :)
sbk.
Hooray new background! I've been meaning to do one for years, and yet I haven't. Hooray taking more classes than logical. Booo going to Europe without me! Booo weddings that keep me from travelling -- particularly when they aren't my own!
lol... i'll send you a postcard! :P
