Started Fall Semester, today. I am finally attending full-time. Digital Art, art history, advanced printmaking, and intro to painting. I am so looking forward to this. I cut my hours back at work to part-time. I can do this because I moved over the summer into my friends living room. It's a big house and a really big living room. It's about half the size of my previous apartment, which was a two story townhouse.

Only issue so far is that I don't have blinds or curtains for my front window. It's going to make it difficult to have Ataxia over for another private figure drawing session.

Speaking of which, really miss her. I've only seen her once this summer. With the move, numerous computer problems, changes to my schedule, and cell phone problems, I've barely communicated with her or any of my friends, really.

Shit, this this first update this summer, actually. It's been a month, I think.

My roommate isn't cool with smoking the dope, so I haven't even smoked a little, which was about all I was smoking anyway. Going through the dopamine adjustments of not smoking has had it's ups and downs, too.

I also spent the summer sharing print studio time (evenings and weekends) with a slightly older adjunct faculty member. She's pretty damn cool. I developed a crush, but I managed to keep it too myself, resisting all urges to compliment her, to basically do all the things I usually can't help myself from doing when I find someone I like. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I never really felt any indication that she liked me. We did have a really good day in Raleigh and some great times in the studio. But now she is my intro to painting instructor, so....common sense says it's time for bed.

Maybe, I'll get to see Ataxia again soon. I hear they want her to be the model again for the figure study group. Unfortunately, I have a class that night, but I am sure I can figure something out. Seeing and drawing her naked was great, but it's her friendship I miss the most.
