...this blog is NOT dead. I've just been very, very busy. Even though grad school, work, friends and the new boyfriend are keeping me plenty busy, the thing that is keeping me the busiest by far is commuting to the four aforementioned items. I can't wait until November 1st, which is the day that I get to move into my new studio apartment (much, much, much, much closer to school and work). It is soooo efficient that the kitchen is kept inside of a tiny closet. You know you are jealous. In other news, I am having extreme clay withdrawal. In the MAT program, we need to have taken specific types of studio courses to earn our licensure for D.C. public schools. Because I studied ceramics in undergraduate school so studiously, it is, unfortunately, NOT one of those studio courses that I need. Instead I need things like printmaking, painting, digital art, sculpture, metal-smithing and textiles, among other things. So, I am officially saving up for a kiln, wheel and clay (it'll probably take me ten years). My life is simply fantastic, but amidst all the joy, excitement and new obstacles, I have begun to realize that something is missing in my life: THE CLAY, MAN! I am the poorest I've been in years and, yet, I am 100% positive that I would take a block of clay over United States currency any day these days.

So...

I'm in su, su, su, su, su, su, su-su-su-su-su-suuu Sugartown
Today is a wonderful day. It just rained and what follows are pictures of post-rainfall pollen art, accompanied by good, random facts about why today is such a good day.
The weekend is almost here.
Today David and I are going out for dinner to celebrate our two years together.
While practicing piano today, I made a breakthrough and the Bach piece sounds beautiful (to me at least). I'll post a video soon so you can decide for yourselves.
Best of all, I got accepted into the Corcoran College of Art and Design's MAT program, was awarded a Dean's Merit Award and have decided to accept and enroll. This means I'm going to graduate school in Washington D.C., babies!
Love,
Monica
