almost finished!

Only three weeks left, and classes will be finished. I have one exam on Dec 9, my drawing/design/typography classes finish by Dec 3. The only class I don't know about is English. I hope it's scheduled for the week before Dec.9.I want to be home to celebrate family christmas with Derek and Lindsay and my honey before Derek leaves for Taiwan.
Talked to Craig, program co-ordinator, about the possibilities for my program. Changes are being made, and more drawing/illustration classes are being offered. So I can go for the applied degree and focus on the stuff I love to do...drawing!
Mato, my drawing instructor, said that I've made an amazing transformation as an artist, and my development has been incredible. I felt fantastic after hearing that. I love my drawing class the most. This week, we start working on our final drawings for that class. I'm drawing Lindsay, in three different styles. She will be featured as an Art Deco drawing, a classic Ingres (fabulous portrait artist of the 1800s), and something very cubist, abstract, with lots of textures. I may do a fourth one for credit, if I have time. So far, I'm really enjoying my classes, even with the stress level. I wonder sometimes if I've made the right decision, giving up my job and being here by myself, but I'm committed now, and I'm going to see it through.
God has blessed me with good instructors (mostly) and a love of learning. Except for the stupid matting I have to do, where I always mess up the measurements, everything is enjoyable, and I'm doing well. I just feel like there's going to be great things happening for me when I'm done all this!
