passing the time

I find a lot that when I’m supposed to be doing work, I end up sitting at my laptop, staring into space aimlessly, mindlessly, unconsciously. This is a bad habit, and I’m trying to stop it. But, it’s hard.

Here’s something not all of you may know about me. When I’m in the car and the radio’s not on, (and for some reason I’m too lazy to turn it on?) I compose symphonies in my head. Am I the only person who does that?

Anyway, if I was able to get it all down on paper, I’d be the next Beethoven, no joke. Maybe that should be my next ambition. If I could only figure out what my first one is!

I got my project back, the one that I posted earlier. Profs are weird though. They get you all hyped up about getting your project back, and then they don’t give you a mark. “Ohhh, you wanted the MARK at the same time? Well, you’ll have to wait another week or so.”

Grr. I’ve been in suspense for two weeks now.

Lately I’ve been getting more projects than I have hours in the day. I feel like I have no social life anymore, and something tells me that’s what’s going to happen for the next four years. But hey, who knows what’s going to happen. I might suddenly decide to become a vet, because as very few of you know, I’ve been harbouring a secret love of horses all my life.

Okayyy. Scratch that. I’m going to go to bed now.

Here’s the newest addition to my room. That was a heck of a lot of stickytac. I think, though, that I’d prefer actual wall art. The Alba Madonna has already been suggested, but something tells me that I wouldn’t be able to sleep with Mary looking at me very sadly all the time.

Hopefully a trip to IKEA will fix that. If only I had time to go. If only I had time to write down my symphonies.

a good moment

So last night was a perfect example of why procrastination is bad. No sleep. (notice relation to the title, eh? eh?)

It was also a perfect example of how I manage to create something I’m actually proud of under extreme pressure. That doesn’t necessarily make this a good way to attack a project. Sometimes I’d rather actually attack my projects. That’s a bad idea though. Do not try it.

My desk is currently a mess of mangled corrugated cardboard. Stay tuned for that one, it’ll make sense in a week or two.

Right. Last night. As I was saying, I did some drawings last night. The project was called “Concept of Dominance”, and I had already designed and created three sculptures using three of the same elements: planar, mass, and linear forms. And in each sculpture I had to make a different element “dominate”. What I had to do after I finished gluing those together (took lots of clamps and glue and time!) was draw them at different scales: a sculpture, a building, and a piece of furniture. So, by changing up my horizon line and fooling around with vanishing points and such, I think I successfully accomplished this. And now I’m really tired.

this was the last one of the night, so slightly less carefully drawn lines.

Thank you for your time. If you have more time (more importantly, if I have more time), hopefully I’ll put up some earlier stuff from this month. It’s amazing how much stuff they make you do in such a short amount of time in university. Yes, now I believe you teachers, this is insane.
