Goodbye is such sweet sorrow

Forever student

I am an art and writing student. I have met so many interesting people through my art classes and writing classes. it helps to be older, because people are a little more serious. But if I wasn't in school I'd go crazy. When you do art in a class people give you compliments. i am used to working minimum wage jobs and being yelled at. To be in an art class and discover fascinating ways to do art with others is an adventure. I hate the last day of school. It's like I might say goodbye to someone who might not come back for a while. This summer, there is at least a few people who can't make it during the regular year because they are teachers. I am blessed by God that my needs are met and I am able to take art and writing classes. My apartment is wonderful, but it's hard to create alone. You feel like you are isolating. i have a little corner in my apartment where i try to do art. It is right by the air conditioner. today i reached over to turn my air conditioner on,
and my whole art stand collapsed and a bucket of paint splashed over the virgin
white wall.
At first i was really nervous, like i'd be in trouble with my landlady, but she had said since I renewed my lease I could have one of two things for free done, (A)a carpet cleaning) or (B) a paint touch up of damaged areas. When she comes back from vacation I'm just going to be honest with her and tell her the truth. but I also feel i need a better set up to paint, and i got a funny thing e-mailed to me! A computer e-mail with an on-line en plein air class! hey, if you want to paint outside, go outside! that is what I'm going to do soon. it's a beautiful day, and i'm on the computer! What's wrong with me?
