hands across the water, hands across the sky

today marks the third day waking up minutes before noon. a part of me really pains to feel the loss of hours of daylight, but essentially it does not affect my day's plan, which requires the darkness and silence of the night hours.

my sister and her husband are coming into town this weekend to visit my mom. they are all going to take a one day and one night trip to los osos this weekend but i refused. too much vacation, right? much too much. i have been in serious vacation mode this whole month of august. i am tired of vacationing. and i have so much catching up to do. to apply or not to apply to grad school this year? crits? reading? writing? designing? so much! and i'm excited for all of it. and now it's time to DO IT.

i feel much more professional now that i've moved my desk from inside my lost bed to outside into the unusable nook in my studio. i already feel a vast improvement in morale! i'm ready to conquer all that is before me, armed with critical terms in art history and my burgeoning, but small, record collection. fuck, i love my studio. it's the only thing that is discouraging me from applying to grad school because i know that when i'm in school my studio isn't going to be as sweet, nor is my studio when i graduate from school. i'll be living in the dumps again. i'm thinking about working out some crazy subletting scheme, but the reality is, who knows what will happen after grad school. maybe i will have enough money and fame to afford some place nice.

today is a busy day. every task on my list is something i look forward to doing except number 3: cleaning my room. ugh, what a pile of crap it's become. it's like some sort of rubik's cube to figure out how to live in a dorm space in an organized and semi pleasant manner. maybe after grad school i'll at least have a nicer bedroom.
