California is still crazy. And cold. And foggy.
I think that once I return, my time here will seem like it was just a dream.
And last weekend was a dream within a dream.
I hope that it's one of those dreams that stays with you and inspires you to do things and look at the world in a different way. I hope it isn't one of those dreams that just fades slowly away.
I don't think I can accuretly discribe my experiences here. It means the world to me that the most important person in my life had the chance to see this place and get a glimpse of what it has done for me.
Less than a week left. Time to get back into the school mindset. Time to get some work done. Time to shake things up. Be productive, be creative. Come on Amber, do it.
I've always been a person to make lists. They help me see things in a more organized perspective, to get all the chaos out of my head and make it more concrete.
THINGS I WANT TO DO THIS SCHOOL YEAR:
-Create a halfway decent tv piolit for my senior research.
-Dabble a bit in VJing (Find a DJ to colaborate with,performance at the Bandersnatch?)
-Have a kick ass radio show (title: Punks and Paddies - have book reviews/news stuff/things people should be pissed off about)
-Create a subversive culture at Denison (subversive public art, zine? write into the Bullsheet more often, stickering, counter recruitment? check out Guerilla Girls type stuff)
-Aviod any and all possible drama with roomates
-Be more assertive/less passive (hopefully this will not make the previous goal difficult)
-Continue writing letters by hand
-Stay in touch with Ohio artists (visit Rian and her family, possible work with Danielle?)
-Maintain a decent GPA (honors program?)
-Do something exciting for spring break
-Spend a lot of time with Noah
-Continue being vegitarian
-Shop conciously (organic, thrift stores, local merchants, don't spend a lot of money, FUCKING DIY stop being lazy!)
-Make my car into an art car?
I guess I've got a lot on my plate. I do this every school year. It's more of a begining than New Years ever is. Hopefully I'll actually do this stuff. You guys should keep on me about it. I need people who push me, who challange me, who don't let me settle or be lazy. Hopefully that's a favor I can return.
