Deep Breaths

Okay. So the last few weeks have been a bit crazy and stressful for me as I plan to attend the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) in the fall. Now many who know me know that I love to perform. I have been a drummer for eight years, and I have been singing and dancing basically since I was able. The reason this makes applying for ACAD a bit tricky is because I had never really been a visual artist until just over a year ago. This gave me very little to chose from when it came to showing them my work. In order to fix that problem I decided it would be smart to just create all new stuff (in the short amount of time of about a month). I have always been pretty good at handling stress, deadlines, and pressure. I have had a bit of practice ;)

What all of this leads up to is that I have finally finished! All of the newly conceived and achieved artworks have been completed, documented, and sent off to the magicians of ACAD to decide whether I am fit for their school or not. The relief is astounding, and I feel like celebrating. I am currently enjoying what I feel to be a well deserved cocktail, and I am going to see an improv show. For those of you who have never seen an improv show, DO IT! They are always hilarious, and just generally put you in a good mood.


Wish me luck with ACAD, and I will talk to you again soon.
