Dearest Eric,
I hope you're getting enough rest as of recently!! I know you mentioned some time ago that you're constantly busy to the point of it feeling suffocating... I really hope it doesn't last for long and remember to take breaks as much as you can, especially to breathe in some fresh air <3
I had such a stressful printmaking class, which is usually just the average wednesday experience for me at this point... but I finished 1/3 tasks for the class!! It took a while but I finally printed 4 good prints of my work! it took a little longer than I really expected it to, but now I can move my focus onto the other two printing techniques (aquatint and another intaglio technique)
A funny story about this is that it wasn't supposed to be turned like this - if you look at the pic upside down you'll see the heart shaped pizza is prettier(?)
even originally I thought of making the sketch 'flexible' so that it can be looked at from any angle and seems correct, and it paid off! Because last week, I made the awful accident of placing the metal plate upside down, and got this print. However! the biggest issue was that I only had three papers to print that day, I messed up the first one completely so it wouldn't be accepted by the professor 100% - and now I messed up the second print too! I had the option of just printing it with the heart up, but then having to rush 3 more prints next week; or risk by printing everything "upside down"
I think you can tell what I chose LMAO
but!! good thing is the assistant actually thought the work would be horizontal, and the prof doesn't remember how it was either - and a win is a win if you ask me~ this is why I'm associated with foxes a lot of the time LMAO sometimes I do use my brain and get to slip out of sticky situations. :>
other than that today was the first time I wasn't the last person out the door!! :D both my classmates and people from photography (who we have printmaking with) simply clean up a little bit, pack their things and leave the rest to whoever is naive enough to clean after everyone else - and it's always me lmao... I don't feel too bad because people are recognizing that I am always cleaning up until the end, and often one of my classmates stays behind to clean with me! I also do get tired even if I don't show it to anyone at uni :')
today too I wasn't really the first to leave, in fact I was near the last few people - but I let myself leave while others cleaned for once.. I kinda felt bad T-T
there are these marble/stone pieces in various sizes (from a normal plate for food to 50cm long) that we spread color on - and usually at the end of the day a few people go and carry them a back to our professors office. and I've been doing it alone for two weeks now... •3•
my friends were actually pretty mad that none of the guys from our class were helping me, and actually a girl from photography came over to help and ended up having back pain!! those blocks are really heavy even for me, I almost got scolded by the assistant for not asking for help - but the guys are so inefficient, only help if they're asked to and often only do a piece or two before leaving to pack their stuff and leave. so at the end of the day, I find it easier to solve the entire job myself and make the best out of it - view it as a workout!
anywayzzz I also got rained on LMAO I finished up with uni just when a thunderstorm started - and I had to wait for my bus completely out in the rain ;-; for some reason it was so late!!! so late that the first wave of rain literally stopped by the time it arrived!
but then when I was about to step out on my stop - I realized it's pouring down even stronger than in front of my uni... not only was it raining heavily, but the wind was s o strong that I was glad I wasn't using an umbrella because it would've done absolutely nothing. at one point i stopped trying to keep my pants from getting wet and just accepted it was that kind of day, but honestly I really like rain! I surely don't like the fact my backpack was soaked, but I actually prefer rainy weather! plus it brings out the waviness of my hair
I should be getting ready for bed- 아 맞다!!!! 나의 phantasy pt3 앨범이 왔어요 😶 내일 아침에 우체국에서 가져올게요~ 에릭 포카가 지이이ㄴ짜 너무 원해용 ㅠ🙇🏻♀️
(좀.. 한국어 하고싶어요 ㅠㅠ 내가 실수하면서.. 미안해요 ㅠ 아직도 잘못했지만... exposure therapy해야해요 :,D)
but yeah!!! I'll leave you a song recommendation and go! I hope you have a good day, have lots of fun and rest~
Dance, Baby! - boy pablo
