I just realized I haven't written a journal here in a year. While that's not a good reason to start, I, uh...well, neglect makes me feel guilty.

So! This is my THE FUTURE IS EXCITING journal. I am somehow halfway through my senior year. With graduation on the horizon, my department seems to be in a state of either joyful excitement or paralyzing fear. Sometimes both. At the same time. It's a confusing environment to be in, that's for sure. Strangely, I've spent most of my time at RISD being scared, that at this point I actually feel pretty normal. Still, the future is a fuzzy grey place that I'm kind of looking forward to. Things like having an oven, diurnal roommates, dance lessons, etc...honestly, real life is starting to look more and more appealing. So, here's to that!

On the other hand, my art has never been so bizarrely inconsistent. So that's pretty tragic. But I imagine I'll sort it out sooner or later. And if all else fails, I'd make a spectacularly bad taxi driver. (I think I'll try, and they'll be so horrified by my driving skills that they'll send me back to art. This is a great plan.)

Anyway, I'm home for the holidays and determined to relax. Happy holidays to you DA folks~ I hope you all indulge in snow, fireplaces, and too many cookies.
