I started off excited that there was no school and thesis on my back to stress me out and that I could finally enjoy a summer again, but that was not the case. I may not have had school but I still had work, which seemed to take up just as much time and energy ( if not more energy). I've also just been feeling sick and run down which I'm sure is related to a sinusitis condition that seems to have lead to a couple other health concerns. A dental x-ray has revealed a possible (probable) infection around one of my teeth so there will be a root canal in my future. Yay. But that will clear up the infection. I'm hoping once the infection clears up that maybe my digestive tract can return to normal, since I believe that bacteria from the infection is causing heart burn and indigestion. But that's my own theory. It could be unrelated, it could be caused from stress and anxiety. Either way, I'm going to discuss with my doctor about what could be going on there.
I'm excited for Fall.
Health-wise, I'm starting to make moves to get my self back on track. Along with the doctors appts, i'm also making an effort to eat healthier, which is a little easier to do in the fall than summer. Even with all the changes happening at work right now, it should start to quiet down and the season winds down.
But the really exciting thing is that I've gotten myself back into making art again. I haven't really done much all summer (which is another reason why i've been so depressed.) Starting this week was my printmaking class at Fleisher. The first class was tues, we jumped into linoleum blocks. I thought this a good oportunity to re-do the dead bird I had worked on a while back. So far, i'm pretty pleased with how it is turning out.
The other exciting this is that I applied to a show at the Icebox Project Space/Crane Building and got in! The show is called 20/92 and will feature one minute video clips projected on the wall. The video I submitted is a clip from the waves I used in my thesis.

So far I feel good bout where fall is taking me. Now, if only the weather will catchup.
