i need to finish up my space research project, but i'm really not diggin' it. when i don't like a piece that i'm working on, i tend to just not do it. i have an issue with things being absolutely perfect, and when it doesn't turn out the way that i saw it in my head, i just can't do it.
the project that we were doing for space research was something out of wire. let me tell you, i hate working with wire more than anything else in the entire world. in my senior year art class i attempted to make a human heart out of wire so that i could put plaster over it. i eventually changed the project because i couldn't work with the fucking wire anymore. the professor for my space class tried to explain it as seeing the wire as a line.. just like a line that you would draw in your sketchbook. ok, that makes sense. but still, it's incredibly hard. making a 3D line in front of you, is different than drawing a line on a piece of paper. he's still a really good teacher though.
for my other studio class i'm making a flip book. the front of the book is covered in orange peels. i just put a thick layer of mod podge over it, and i'm hoping that it'll dry clear because if it doesn't i pretty much just ruined my entire project. how awesome would that be? pretty fucking amazing.
i'm really hoping that it's not raining in 2 hours. [knock on wood] i have to walk all the way to bowe today, and walking in the rain will not be fun. i'd have to wear tennis shoes and everything.. carry an umbrella and my wire project. booo no fun.
on another note, my mom sent me stamps today. she also sent me a card, with a picture of me from when i was really little inside of it. she signed the card "love, susan" not "love, mom". i'm not sure if i should laugh at that, or think that it's sad. i feel pretty sad about it though. she may not have meant anything by it. actually, i'm pretty sure she meant nothing by it, but it's still really weird.
it's strange how me and my mom can go from having a really good conversation to yelling at eachother within 10 minutes. i'm not really sure how that happens. i'm really angry now so i'm gonna go.
