Shit's gettin' real, yo!
13 years ago
Alright, so, first off, I feel I need to apologize for the lack of consistent updates, and above all, lack of commissions. Things have been getting really intense around here lately, and I've just been doing portfolio work/a few things to relax, and haven't really thought about commissions.
So, what's been going on, you ask?
Well, first off, in two weeks, there is a national Irish music competition, in which I am entered in four categories! Solo, Group, and two accompaniment categories. It's really intense, that's over 30 tunes that need to be memorized! Plus transitions and other parts! We always compose our own accompaniments and transitions, so I'm excited to see what comes up for the group competition.
Secondly, my two jobs. Our students are entering the group competition, as well as the under 12 solos and duet/trio competitions. It's exciting, but it requires a LOT of work. I'm really proud of how much progress each of them makes. What's more, as their (also) art teacher, they've been giving me a lot of work! It seems like the more work they know they're capable of doing, the more they want! It's kind of awesome!
I'm also applying for a third job/internship. This is why I'm working so hard on my portfolio: to land a job as a graphic artist at some company. While this is going to be really interesting, it's creating a lot of extra work for me, since I'm not an art major (I'm a neuroscience major). In my college, only art majors get help from the career center and the cool jobs, so I have to really fight to get my portfolio seen. Fortunately, the career center people really, really like my stuff so far, so I think I have a pretty decent chance.
With this year coming to a close, I also get to start writing up an experiment for my capstone project and whatnot. I get to use and abuse the PSYC 102 classes, which is going to be the best thing ever. Heheheheheh... I have to do a lot for this, though. Hypothesis, write up an experiment, produce the instructions and standardized tests/methods of scoring, then I actually have to DO it, then write my conclusion and stuff. It's so cool, I'm really excited, but it's a lot of work I have to do before I can even do the experiment, so.. We'll see!
I'm excited, and excited for the club activities as well. I'm starting to get a hang of fencing, and I'm one of the lead members of the school's Irish music club. Philosophy club is also a total blast, it's really small and intimate, so everyone gets to say something, and no one gets nervous because of crowds. I really like it!
So.. A little busy, but I'm going to try to start getting commissions done. There's a small lull in portfolio work, so I'm going to get to devote a little bit of time to getting commissions done.
