A POST!

Karen has posted and it's making me want to post! So here I go

Hi internet.

It's currently Thanksgiving break, I'm lucky enough to get the whole week off, which has been nice. The past two days have felt like summer again, which has been the best honestly. Spending hours in Pierce's garage with whoever else shows up, playing with lights and doing light shows, blasting edm, driving up the crest and spending hours at magpies... it has been great.

Pierce has gotten me so obsessed with gloving and edm, it's crazy. It started about a year ago, when Pierce gave me my first light show. We've gone to FNL, a glover thing kind of, a couple of times, but I sucked so badly back then that I was too scared to trade shows with anyone (not a very PLUR attitude I know, I'm sorry). I'm still not that good, but I've been practicing a lot! And edm... ah I love it. I first started becoming interested in that type of music sophomore year I think, but I didn't really know where to start until I started dating Pierce. But now... I don't even know man, I love it. Happy hardcore is blasting in my ears as I type. Well, not exactly blasting, but you know. Edm stands for electronic dance music, for those who don't know. Popularly known as "techno", even though technically techno is like a certain type of edm. But whatever, it's all good. Haha

Oh also for those who don't know...

THIS is gloving:

fucking sick light show

But now today it's time to buckle down and write some college essays... back to real life again. I've already submitted to a bunch of schools, so I've finished the common app, including the essays. But I still have to finish the UC essays, and then submit those. And also I have some supplements that I have to finish and submit within the next couple of days. And since I'm applying for art for a lot of places, I need to figure out how to send my portfolio and all that.

I'm kind of wondering if I'm going in over my head with art though. I'm constantly wondering if I'm even good enough, or if I'll like doing art all the time, especially art not in my area of concentration, enough to be doing it as much as I will be when/if I major in art next year. When I did the early college program in Chicago though, for three weeks art was all I did and I loved it so much. But that was just in my concentration, and that was just for three weeks, with no other major distractions in my way, except for the friends I made. Ahh I don't know. We'll see. This is mostly why I'm not really going the art college route, so that it'll be easier to change my mind if I want to. Ah I don't know. Honestly though, since I'm applying to a LOT of schools, and I don't really have any top choices, I'll probably end up going wherever gives me the most money/aid.

I just want to be done with college apps honestly, but I know I'm probably not going to be for a while. But after I finish this group of apps, I'm going to be concentrating on Solo Fete, as it's coming up in a couple weeks. Solo Fete is the show that my ballet/dance company puts on every year, where every member of the company gets a solo. Since I'm a senior this year, I get to have input in my solo. We finished it last week, and now I'm just working on performing it and perfecting it. I'm supposed to show it in class tonight. I love my solo! I'm really nervous for the show though, because this will be the first time that Pierce and some of my other friends will have ever seen me dance, and Pierce's mom is going too, and my dance teacher from school. Basically just a lot of people that I kind of want to impress... so it's nerve-wracking. But I think I'll be ready. I hope.

Ah I could go on and on, but I really do have to do work on college stuff. Goodbye internet and edm, it's time to focus. Haha
