DONE WITH CLAY FOREVER

today was our last in-class day of wet clay. holy cow i could not be happier. i used to look at throwing as somewhat theraputic, and even considered minoring in ceramics. but making vases and pitchers in such a short amount of time kind of changed my mind....it was very nerve-wrecking. thank GOODNESS i somehow whipped out five (one pitcher, four vases) in class today....which makes eight, which was the assignment! i am not entirely thrilled with the way they came out. the pitchers are relatively small, as are the vases. but it's alright, at least i tried. i wouldn't have been able to go into the studio tomorrow night to finish on the wheel for thursday's critique. i am planning on going to the studio tonight after psych and trimming the vases.

today it just dawned upon me that i am fairly stressed all of a sudden. these last two weeks are always a killer. i know the mindset i have is that i will just take all the work as it comes and work on it all at once and just take turns on projects. that's just how i work. i can't sit down and write a paper for three hours straight. i have to take lots of breaks because my focus drifts and i feel like i need to take those breaks to recollect my thoughts. i feel all jumbly right now. like when i started writing this post, i wasn't even spelling words correctly. ugh, just so much on my mind.

funny thing is though, right at this very moment, i really don't have much work to worry about. i will force myself to go swimming in a little while even though i have been going for a couple weeks and have not been seeing results. that always seems to happen when i attempt to work out. oh well. i know my eating habits are not the healthiest but eating healthy at school basically means i'd have to eat practically nothing.
