the sun has been very excited as of late

You should be looking at the sky every night!, says the astronomy professor.

Myself, I am always worrying for post-graduation. It has become a low hum behind all my other thoughts. Lately I've been thinking it'd be nice to be a painter. I would like to be a painter. But how many people who want to be, get to be?

Why should art get compared to life? Really, I wish you'd stop dramatizing art. It's just art. It's just something people make. Why the pedestal? It lives in life--this is the distinction.

Yes, art is meant to communicate.

You'll see my stuff when I remember to take a picture. Perhaps I will do this tonight? Some sort of mixed media stuff here at the house, but it's a kind of ongoing thing that won't end until the quarter does. Or, maybe I should have been sending updated pictures for you? Anyway, would rather show you the class works.

We should talk writing, too.
