*****I APOLOGISE IN ADAVANCE FOR THE VENTING*****

**********************************************

So this past week i new i needed to complete as many complete pieces as possible for the mid-critique; however, i still continued to put it off to the last min. (fall break didnt help). Before this weekend i printed off copies of thier insecurity sheets and thier photos to transfer, thinking i was going to do one or two before the weekend, and they sat on my dresser until today. Today, since the copies were no longer good for transfering, i made more copies. I then had painting, work in sculpture studio (cleaning out closet), ceramics, RA meeting, and Ultimate frisbee (we won 10-5) .... all of which took up my day. Finally, i got all my materials out to do drawing, started to transfer just to find out that for some reason NONE of my copies wanted to transfer. i dont know if the toner is messed up on the printer or what ( i used it on the previous projects). I began to get a little stressed but still being rational and thinking where i could go to make new copies. THEN, my girlfriend called (only because i had promised her that i would call her) and she was mad. She hung up and then called me back to tell me again that she was mad and then continue to text me about her being mad and how i dont care about her or the relationship.... This is the point in which i hit the point of being overwhelmed. i spent over an hour talking to her about me, about her, about us, and about how our relationship is going. Still dont know where it is right now, but we told each other good night and that we would think on it and talk again tomorrow. Now i come back into the room with all hope lost, all desire gone, exhaustion hitting me in the face and see my collage i did last week. I decided i would combine both ideas into one. So there you go, i used the pictures, tape, writings, marker, ink, glue, and oil pastels to create a new thing. I dont know if i want to continue in this direction; however it is a refreshing break from transfers (mainly because i FAILED at it tonight). Sorry for venting. hours for the week...
