Yesterday I had my final painting crit of the semester. I got good feedback, but more importantly, I felt good about the work I presented. I felt good about it before I put it up for critique. Somewhere along this semester I've remembered how to paint and started pushing myself in new directions. That's why I'm doing this thing, or at least it's part of it. It's just nice to feel like things are coming together.
Now I have to do the things I've been putting off. These are the final projects for my non-studio classes. The biggest of these is a paper for art history. The next biggest thing is to help get the final exam set up for the class I TA. The other stuff isn't a big deal as long as I can complete it by Friday.
The quantity of things to do in grad school makes it tougher. There are a few things that would be difficult by themselves, but most aren't so bad other than taking time and needing to be done. I'm ready for break. I'm so close. Just a few more things to do and I'll be there.
