captain's personal log stardate: 4/28/2010

currently watching star trek: voyager. awesome.

when i was younger, my dad worked late during the week so the only real time my sister and i got to spend time with him on weekdays was after he got home from work. it was the same ritual: he'd come home to us at the backdoor "daddy's home daddy's home" then he'd sit down to eat dinner then we'd watch an episode or two of star trek..which ever generation was on tv at the time. he got home too late for us to watch tv he'd read us a story. eventually my sister and i grew out of star trek...definitely didn't truly appreciate star trek..or that time with my dad.

anyways the whole point of this post is to talk about the awesomeness that is star trek: voyager...it is. i love that the captain of the voyager is a woman yay for the 90's!

ok i totally had more to say when i first thought of this post

i need "how to be an adult" lessons

it kind of freaks me out, because over the past 2 or 3 years i feel like my true personality has really started to come out and i feel like it's stunted. i know i'm only 21 and just starting to join the adult world, but i have the maturity level of a 14 year old boy with a mind that's just as dirty. for instance today in my italian renaissance artists class my teacher was talking about believing in yourself when presenting a paper and blah blah...what do i do in response? sing "don't stop believing" by journey...outloud. yes out loud. lord help me.

BUT! after class when i told new boy it was stuck in my head he sang it with me...it was pretty great. lol.

second thing. i really really REALLY need to work on this whole doodling thing...i'm giving myself one more semester to get thru it...it's sooo bad. (at least new boy always says good things about them lol)

here's some of my lovely doodles from my greek sculpture class

overall today was a really good day....had my usual walk n talk after class with new boy...his 5 oclock shadow scruff made my heart go pitter patter..lol. somehow i made it through my 2 geology class without knowing what time it was since my phone died literally 10minutes before class started. i guess filling in my planner up through july helped too.

wore my favorite headband thing:

it's super stretched out and i'm sure there are some people out there that would disagree with me trying to make a faux sequin silver bow headband go with everything but i don't care, i loves it...there's something about wearing a bow..idk what it is.

yesterday i started working on my personal statement even though i won't be applying to school for many months, but i figured i'd get started on it now, anyways 5 minutes into it i began to wonder what would be a reasonable price to pay someone to write it for me...this is going to be hard. exactly why i'm working on it now.

and i must say i almost pee my pants every time the trailor for SATC 2 comes on..i'm sooo excited! AND even better, it comes out when my sister and i will both be back home for summer break, so i'm hoping me her and my mom can see it together since we saw the first one together...so excited.

guess that's all....back to the city premiere!!

(weheartit)

sooo while i was studying this afternoon (studying= staring off into space and daydreaming while occasionally highlighting my modern art book) i kept thinking about my grad school options and how i could honestly go anywhere..within the east and west coasts of course. then i thought about all the people i know who are making their somewhat future decisions based on their significant others and where they're located. i must say even though i bitch and moan about wanting a relationship, i'm glad i'm not in one, especially with my future being so up in the air. i'm going wherever i want to go for me...not for anyone else. that's such a good feeling to have. don't get me wrong, i totally understand that people would do that and i'm sure i would too if i was currently in a serious relationship, but at the same time...idk. i guess being single for so long has turned me a little pessimistic...oh well.

speaking of grad school, at about 2am this morning i added pratt institute of new york to my grad school list. that makes 3 that are in new york..2 in the city and 1 upstate. i figured i HAVE to get into at least one new york school..idk..i still have some time.

watched some more of the hills today....came to the conclusion that i am definitely definitely getting season 1 of the city. most definitely.

finally finally emailed the art gallery place about volunteering/intershipping (i have a bad habit of turning nouns into verbs...it's fun sometimes). fingers crossed i there's space for me...if not i can always email this other center i'm looking at..i'm so excited.

still raining...

hey girl hey!

meet brianna. (she's the girl on the right)

this girl right here has been my best friend

for 7 years. she has always ALWAYS

been there for me when i needed

her and she has never once judged

me. (trust me i've had many moments

where i chose not to use my best

judgement)

we jokingly call each other our "ride or die"

but i know bree will always be there for

me no matter what.

she's like a sister to me.

i'm writing this post, because i just got

off the phone with her

after a 5 hour STRAIGHT conversation.

i love this girl and i know we're going to

be lifelong friends.

decisions decisions...again

so proud of myself, i got up showered dressed and went to the library and got my grad school shizz together. granted it took me an hour or two to get up and going, but i did spend about an hour at the library researching my 4 grad school options. i'm really really proud of myself, because not only did i print off info about the masters programs and how to apply; i ALSO printed off info on tuition/fees, financial aid and any housing stuff they had AND put it in one of those expandable multi folders things. *sigh* i'm super excited. started writing one of the papers that i'll have to submit as part of the application packet.

here are my current top 4 choices:

1. California College of the Arts in San Francisco- Curatorial Studies

2. Bard College, Hudson on the River, NY- Curatorial Studies

3. School of the Art Institute of Chicago- Arts Administration and Policy

4. NYU- Visual Arts Administrations

so yea there they goes.....i have to admit i kind of cheated with the programs i chose, because i 1. don't have to take the gre (thank gooseness!!) and 2. don't have to know a foreign language (thank gooseness again!) like i would if i was applying to an art history masters program.

i know myself pretty well and this order will probably change...i honestly can't choose between east and west coast..i loved loved LOVED california and i know i would like san francisco BUT there's something about new york that makes me want to go there...i guess never being there plays a large role. and even though bard college is only about 2 hours away from the actual city i'm sure if i attended there i visit nyc whenever. idk..we shall see. ..guess i wouldn't mind going to chicago either...i just know that's as midwest as i want to get for grad school.

in other news, i've been so happy lately...i love being happy for no reason..it makes life a lot more enjoyable. i kicked major pootang in my rococo presentation yesterday. none of classmates had "constructive" criticisms and my professor thought the information i presented for my paper was well thought out and all that jazz. such a relief considering how nervous i was and how unprepared i felt. not i just have to sit and write the actual paper.

currently watching the hills marathon...i prefer the city over the hills...i like whitney...and it doesn't hurt that the city is shot in ny.

guess that's all...going back to enjoying this crazy rainy spring day in bed.
