Watchers

Wow. It's been a while since I've been on Deviant Art! I guess I've been pretty busy. Well, to start off, I've had some pretty big changes go on in my life: 1.) I finished up my student teaching (which was one of the best experiences I've ever had), 2.) I graduated in December (which was one of the proudest moments of my life), and 3.) I got engaged in August and will be getting married in June.

Currently, I'm in what I like to call "job limbo." I have to wait for my teacher's license to come in the mail (a couple of months) before I can apply to any jobs. There really aren't any jobs available right now, so I guess it kind of works out. However, it's a bummer because there's a time-span that leaves me unemployed. The good news is that I might have luck doing some freelance work. I kicked off the New Year by returning from a week's visit to Japan and by finishing up a mural of a sky scene for my second cousin's dining room. Japan was awesome and the mural turned out really nice and earned me some good money. Hopefully I can scrounge up some more work until my license comes and hopefully by the time my license arrives, there will be more jobs available.

That's all for now. I need to get a commissioned thank you present started pretty soon.

Wow! That's awesome! Good for you! College just started today so I didn't have to go to all my classes. I'm taking some art education classes, drawing, studio and art history. I think it'll be a pretty good semester (and not as busy) so I'm pretty excited about that!

that sounds like a good time, so what are you going to do after college teach art? or are you going to become a starving artist? lol

I guess the current plan is to teach art. I figure that way I can work, but still do my own artwork on the side. I think it might be a good starting point if I eventually want to do something else. That or I might find a job elsewhere and I can always fall back on teaching. A teaching job would be nice too because teachers are needed in every state are in demand currently. We'll see!

Hey how's school. I miss chating with you.

School's going well. I'm keeping rather busy with classes M-R 9-5pm and swing dancing. I'm gonna try out for the swing team come next semester, which means I really have to practice hard this semester. Painting is getting a little stressful (already) but I just need to try and stay positive. Oh well. Tomorrow I'm going to visit a physical therapist in regards to my neck/back. I had gone to a chiro and gotten x-rays... Instead of having a natural curve to my neck, it's just a diagonal line! Yikes! I'm going to see the PT for a second opinion (and it's less expensive/more convenient if they can help me out).

Apartment life is awesome. I love fending for myself and having my own room. My roomies are great too! Woot. That's about it. How 'bout you, dear cuz?
