Oh school, how I loath thee

The difference in between my homework for my art degree versus my homework for nursing school is a vast region of wanting to do and having to do. Granted I absolutely love learning about the human body and diseases fascinate me but I get so sick of having to study all the time. :) When I would do "homework" for painting class all it would be is me taking something I am already good at and just having fun until I had something to turn in. I always feel kind of silly telling people that I have a degree in painting. Yes, it was a fluff major although it is harder than most people give it credit for. Forcing your brain to come up with 12 paintings a semester that are all bigger than 3' by 3' is harder than it sounds. I'm glad I did it though. If I hadn't gone through with it I always would have wondered if I should have gone for that whole artist lifestyle. Now I know that I would go crazy if I had to paint for money, it was bad enough having to paint for a grade. Painting is something I'll do only for my pleasure and sanity. Ha ha, besides I still can still say that I am not only a published artist but one that sells their work. So really by some standard I made it in the art world. Right now the whole reason this is even on my brain is that I am supposed to be studying for a Microbiology test and I would much rather be jamming out to some good music and letting my mind wander in paint. Alright alright no more procrastination, I won't get those A's I am so fond of if I keep day dreaming about painting pretty pictures. I think of it this way, when I am nurse I can combine the two degrees and draw really cool pictures on kid's casts. All of the kiddies will think I am awesome and I will be able to tell their parents that they owe me $15,000 for the one of a kind piece of art encasing their child's leg. Great plan. Note to all of you other artist out there reading this, I have patented that idea so you can't steal it. Neener Neener
