My Begining

I'm ready to start a revolution.

Who's with me?

After reading some people's postings on livejournal, I feel prompted to post my main revelation of this summer: LIFE AFTER COLLEGE IS NOT SCARRY.

Even as I write this, I realize that of course it is scarry in some aspects, because it is new, and change is always slightly scarry. But I guess my point is, it isn't something that should cripple you, that should make your senior year miserable because you don't know what you're going to do after college.

See, this summer I have been living and working with internationally renouned artists. People who are very sucessful in the field I have chosen. and through this experience I have learned that life after college is exciting. It's when you can take some time to find yourself, to focus on your craft, to travel around, to make the beginings and movements that can really start to shape your life. And who cares if you don't get into grad school. Many schools refuse to accept students right out of undergrad, it seems that the common consensous is that you should wait at least 5-7 years before going to grad school.

I'm so excited to go back to Denison, to finish up my time there by doing something creative and worthwhile, and then to really start something once I get out. I feel like I have so many possiblities, and instead of being stressed to pick one, I'm excited to begin to try them out one by one. Rachel wrote that she is scared that her future is a big blank. I'm very excited by the fact that mine is a big blank. It's a huge blank canvas, with limitless possiablities, and I can't wait to start my masterpiece.

It's 1:30am. I'm not tired. No one else here is awake. My booze is in Kate's refridgerator. I wish I had some weed, or a cigar, or a beer. Even more than that I just wish someone was around. I want a good conversation. I want to go on a night hike.
Most of all, I wish Noah were here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still very happy and having fun.
I just miss him.
A lot.

The highlight of last night:
Realizing at 1am that we were in a slightly sketchy all latino gay bar.

The low point of last night:
Seeing some guy getting the shit beat out of him while we were looking for our car.

If I had to describe my summer in one word, it would be...ridiculous.

So I posted a bunch of photos on my facebook album. Including a photo of some german ninjas I met at the bridge. They were doing a photo shoot and agreed to let me take their picture doing something awsome. I really like it here. It's a great place to spend a summer/few months running around. The artists are all really awsome, in a way that's difficult for me to discribe without becomming excited/nerdy. It is usually rather cold and foggy here, but the past like 6 days have been really sunny and beautiful. Cold though, but beautiful. I have other photos I still need to post, but our internet is really slow, and I don't have the patience for it. But they will come. Pictures of the people I live with and such.

A list of things I like to do at the Headlands:
1) Hike (I do it almost everyday)
2) Sit on the front porch and drink (I do it everyday)
3) Read (usually done while sitting on the porch and drinking)
4) Eat (Our chef is amazing. I am vegetarian and not missing meat at all. Also we have a lot of dinner parties on the weekends. which also include drinking)
5) Sleep (like a log...9 hours min. a night)
6) Draw (haven't done enough of this)
7) Leave (to go to the city/the nearest town/to visit family for the day)
8) Have philosophical conversations about the nature of art with amazing talented acomplished artists (usually done on the front porch, or at said dinner parties, and accompanied by drinking and smoking)

Things that I don't miss about the 'real world':
1) shaving (haven't done it since june 17th)
2) assholes (everyone here is awsome)
3) telephones (I have one, and use it as much as necessary, but I certainly don't miss having to deal with them on a daily basis. and cellphones don't work out here. There's a hill you have to hike up, aptly dubed Cell Phone Hill, in order to get any reception at all)
4) Television (haven't turned it on since I got here)
5) the internet (even as I'm typing this I'm planning on where I'm going to hike once I'm done.)

I miss you people that read this blog, and wish that you would write me letters. I'm slowly but surely trying to write letters to everyone.

I had other things I was going to write about, as a personal outlet, not so much an update. But they were depressing and about accidents, nightmares, and missing my boyfriend. And it's sunny and nice outside. So instead I think I will go for a walk.
