Ceramics Update, and Motivation

So far I am thoroughly enjoying ceramics. I had a small taste of it in high school but I did not enjoy it than, and made quite the atrocious looking teapot. I hated hand throwing at that point, but now I have a better grasp of it. I have done three textured masks, two Jomon pots (pots excavated from Japan, oldest in history), one soft slab vessel, and I am currently working on another which is going to be the reproduction of my ugly teapot from high school. These will be glazed, and hopefully posted after I finish them. From there I will learn a little wheel throwing.
We have seven weeks of each media, and I am really enjoying ceramics. I have another five to do; Graphic Design, Photography, Fashion Design, Textiles, and Jewelry/Metal Working. I am initially going to this school in hopes of Fashion Design, but I am open to the chance I might like something else better. Second semester we have two medias at once.
So the form I filled out wrong, I filled out wrong a second time. It is getting irksome because you would think after three years I would be able to fill out these forms... Apparently I can't.
I have been able to keep rather busy with my homework, and now I work both Saturday, and Sunday because I am the only Customer Sales Assistant left because everyone else has left, or have been fired in the most unprofessional way ever.
I wish I could have been this motivated a lot sooner sometimes but I realize this was the way it was meant to be. I love where I live. (Minus the issues with the one roommate living with me, and underneath me). This city has so much opportunity in it, and amazing schools.

Back Into the Swing of Things

So I am back into full swing of school life, and I am loving it. We aren't going to have a lot of huge tests or anything, just smaller ones which is great. (I fail hardcore at tests) We also write essays occasionally which I may have gotten better at we just have to see what the teacher says. I could never write an essay, and it was never at, or pass the maximum word count, and now I can do it.

I plan on mastering Gouache, and painting more. We are also going to learn a bit of watercolour as well. I love paint, I just need to be re-taught. Getting the gouache opaque can be challenging because each colour mixes differently. We are only allowed to work with cyan, magenta, yellow, white, and black; any other colours that we want we have to mix to get them.

I had the last few Saturdays off which is unusual but now I am working them again because we lost an employee, but we do finally have an assistant manager. I love working Sunday's it is the best day of the week to work, and it is with the best people.

Little Bit of Information

Chances come, and go.

Take them as you can.

What doesn't work throw to the wind.

Let live, and love. Forget those who hurt you.

Be who you want. Live for you alone.

Do not conform to people.

Purge your life of things you don't need occasionally.

Spell check is awesome.

Life can storm you occasionally but you can make the best of it, and turn it around.
