I hate Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Okay so, I go in for my painting crit this morning, and
a) he forgot my critique...I had to hunt him down
b) he told me AGAIN how much he hated the first three paintings...but he's not repeating himself...
c) he told me how much he loved the second set of three...especially the ones without goddess forms in them....
d) he forgot that my Islamic painting was sitting there...which he was super excited about when I painted it...
e)  he went on and on about how great my painting of Sarasvati is...
f)  he didn't realize that the ones without figures in them were goddess paintings....even though I told him that before and while I painted them....
g) he really likes the direction I'm taking my paintings in...aka sans goddesses...
h) then he asked me what I learned this semester, I told him a lot about playing with the paint and working with transparency
i) he also asked me what I wanted to do with my senior project...I told him I wanted to continue to work with this theme...he started rambling about how I should really consider how I'm painting the goddesses because my earlier paintings conceptually suck...he also suggested that I keep a journal of info on said goddesses while I read about them...which I already do and I told him so....

And then after all that he decided to give me my grade.  But before we go there, let's do a brief check of my progress this semester--
--I was supposed to have 5 completed paintings, I had 7
--I only missed two days of class...and made it up outside of class later
--I came in as often as possible to work on my paintings outside of class (which was a little strained with the amount of hw I've had, but I still came in a lot...of course not often enough for Paul...)
--I followed almost every suggestion Paul gave me
---I found a ton of pictures for reference
---I added texture
---I added weird colors
---I ended up doing landscapes
---I thought a great deal about what I was trying to portray
--I kept a painting journal, which was in the syllabus, even though he never asked about it (until the final critique) or checked it
--I gave a killer presentation on Mondrian with a complete life history and about 30 slides of his work, covering everything on the syllabus that I was supposed to cover
--I kept my work area clean
--I turned everything in on time
--I went to every art opening and lecture, except one, and that one was because I had another class, and it was an important class -- I even asked the teacher if I could miss some of it, and I got to hear the visiting artist talk the next morning anyway

Somehow, I accidentally painted a witch's cauldron.  I was trying to paint a little ceramic bowl.  Go figure.

I feel like Persephone.  I get to spend most of the year hanging out with my friends in the "underworld" (aka school), and then my mom is sad.  But then I go home, and she's all happy cause I'm home.  And because everything is growing crazy, I have to do yard work on my days off from work.  Which totally sucks.  Luckily Jackie, being the freak she is. likes to do yard work and helps me.  Cyndy helps, too, but she's not as enthusiastic about it as Jackie.

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"
