It is February of 2009. I promised myself that this would be the year that things really start happening for me. I am sort of at a new beginning, and I am not meaning to be dramatic, or anything. I graduated from college in May with a BA in Fine Arts: Studio. I have finally moved out of my parents' house again, and for good. I am working a menial job, but I make enough money to take care of myself. I am in a relationship that is going well. So my life is starting to become fulfilled, but at the same time it is stagnant.

I think the reason I feel this way is because I am not making my art happen. It is the one thing that drives me and gives me passion, and I haven't been making anything happen. I don't want to work at my menial serving job my whole life! I decided today would be the day I start making things happen. I have been brainstorming tons of ideas, and I have five projects that I want to work on. I am going to get back into the loop, and start producing mounds of work again, and get somewhere with this art degree that I have.

I have been thinking about returning to school again. I don't know where I will find the time and money for that yet, but it is something I have been considering. I really want to learn printmaking, and I think I might earn a second BA. I might go for Art History. I still not sure if I am going to do this, but I keep thinking about it.

For now I am going to concentrate on getting a portfolio together, and working regularly on a few projects. I have to start somewhere, and I have a lot of determination. I have a lot I want to say in my work, and I think it is time to get it said.

Here's to making things happen!
