A time for being busy, and a time for relaxing
It’s the end of week 3, and autumn has already wiped its feet at the door and invited itself in to stay a while. I find myself watching great misty clouds shift around in the sky and conceal mountains; and everywhere I look the leaves losing their chlorophyll stipple yellow orange and red spots on a backdrop of evergreen trees. I guess it was 85 degrees today in Fullerton. But I’m not jealous. Fall here is actually quite stunning.
I’m also really excited about all the things I’ve got in the mix. My classwork is starting to pick up, and I have lots of reading and an essay and a project all due next week. But that doesn’t mean I can’t find time to skateboard with my friends. We started an unofficial skate club, and we take any sunny day as an opportunity to shred. I have also been busy starting an official art club at school called “Colourators”. We want to help facilitate more student art to happen and be displayed on campus. I’ve also signed up to be on the Campus Land Use Committee and the Arts Annex Remodel Committee. I have also had a lot of creative energy recently, which has been really terrific.
Well, gotta do some homework! Peace!

One response so far
Hey–
I don’t know if you get these emailed, but hi! I got here by searching the evergreen website for ‘art club’, and indeed it seems you are starting one. Methinks we should join forces, if indeed you need any help.
I think more art events/outlets on campus would be awesome. I also think that perhaps if there are like, at least 5 people a week, we could get studio space for informal meetings (I’d think community folks would even pay $5-$10 if necessary for a model) for general drawing, and more specifically figure drawing. The fact that you have to join a class for figure drawing to just… practice figure drawing seems wrong to me. Another outlet is to somehow coordinate some art stuff in the future and/or collaborate on stuff with the literary magazine, Slightly West.
Anyway, um, if you could use any of my help/ideas, let me know.
