Feeling Weird

Subway from Lee Bretschneider on Vimeo.

I promise to start writing again once I get back into the semester grove.  

For now I'll say that:  Art to Art is going well (Elisabeth and I have made neat, laminated schedules using clip art she found), my fish are growing by the hour, Stephanie is finally back in our lives, Jenna's got a boyfriend, I cut David's hair really, really, really short, my hair is growing at the speed of light, I'm still working on applications for graduate school, yesterday I started throwing on the wheel again and got back into the swing of things, there is already a lot of dried clay on my pants (which looks like mud and dirt to normal people I walk by on campus), my sculpture came back from Denver undamaged, I really like my art history teacher, I had to drop my installation class (sad :( face) for fear that it would interfere with my honors thesis, I feel very prepared for this semester, this blog is one year old (not today, I missed it's birthday), I missed Irina's "birthday" too, Jenna and Alexa got into NCUR which means Stephanie and I have the apartment all to ourselves for a few days in the future, I went to the gym yesterday and ran three miles very quickly, the ping pong tables were taken so I couldn't play yesterday, I can't wait until next weekend because I get to go home and celebrate my favorite holiday (Chinese New Year), I got a new kazoo after my other new kazoo was busted from me blowing/humming too hard into it, I'm waiting to watch a documentary I found in the library on noodling (bare-handed catfishing), and I'm finally taking piano lessons (I think I found my teacher on wikipedia).

Hair update

I'm sure you remember the way my hair used to be (above).  But did you know that my hair can also do these things (below).  It's growing fast:

hair today, gone tomorrow (just kidding)

Weekend Equations

Friday = Jean + Elisabeth + Indian Food + Rollerskating for one and a half hours + Falling down occasionally for about a half hour + Pumpkin pie ice cream + Autism the musical + Sleepover in the living room

Jean + Elisabeth + Indian Food + Rollerskating for one and a half hours + Falling down occasionally for about a half hour + Pumpkin pie ice cream + Autism the musical +Sleepover in the living room = Too much fun!

Friday = Too much fun!

Saturday = Jean + Elisabeth + Waking up late + Going to the grocery store to buy blueberries, blackberries, chocolate chips and pancake mix + Cooking up a mess in the kitchen + Eating pancakes while watching Mozart and the Whale + Jam session*

Jean + Elisabeth + Waking up late + Going to the grocery store to buy blueberries, blackberries, chocolate chips and pancake mix + Cooking up a mess in the kitchen + Eating pancakes while watching Mozart and the Whale + Jam session* = Too much fun!

Saturday = Too much fun!

So, by substitution or transitional theory or whatever:

Friday = Saturday  ?

*Jam session = she & him songs, falling slowly, pricilla ahn and kazoo improvisation and zombie remix

Paperhand Puppet Intervention...with a twist


Autsim + Art + Drama + Puppets = FUN FUN FUN!

Needless to say, after going to my first Paperhand Intervention Autism group, I feel happy (Today we played a game where we had to fill the blank in with an emotion we were feeling).

This is definitely the beginning of something great, especially since I will be getting a chance to take some charge and leadership initiative in the group, as one of the few "Autism-experienced" volunteers.  I am so thankful for getting to do this every Monday for the rest of the academic year because, honestly, I don't think I could survive without even the smallest exposure to camp friends and autism every week.

--Off to work on a paper about bonsai trees and miniature plants


Love,
Monica
