Death Year

So, seems like 2009 is the big year in which a lot of American icons/celebrities have died, such as Michael Jackson, Senator Edward Kennedy, and more. And the most recent of the deaths aside from Edward Kennedy's, was DJ AM's death, which was today. He was found dead in NY today, and his death might have possibly been caused by drug overdose, but the facts aren't set in stone yet. And as we know, DJ AM almost died a while back when in that plane crash with Travis Barker, in which they both escaped.

So, 2009 is a sad year in American history, since a lot of important people have passed away. May they all rest in peace.

(RIP DJ AM March 30, 1973-August 28, 2009)

Home

So I'm officially back home from being away for 4 weeks. And it feels nice to be home, but at the same time, not, since I miss MassArt right now, but I know I'll get over it soon. I still have to unpack a few things and such but I feel good about being home.

Yesterday, the first thing I did when I got home was eat brunch with my mom at a restaurant thats close to us. But thats when I realized that I forgot my dirty clothes in my dorm room so, my mom was nice enough to drive me all the way back to MassArt. So that was a good way to spend time with my mom. After that, I went and hung out with my friends downtown, and it was fun. It was a good way to spend my afternoon/evening. And today, I'm going to a friend's house for a cookout for his birthday with his family and another friend of our's. Its gonna be fun, since his family is chill and they cook really good food...yum.

Yesterday, before I got home, MassArt had a gallery of all the student's work who participated in the Summer Studios. I had a drawing up, my altered book on display, and some of my photography, as well as a screening of some of my films and my peer's films that were made in the film class and animation class. It went really well. This kid in my photo class even offered to buy one of my pieces. I didn't know what to do so I just told him maybe and never got back to him. Wish I did. But it made me feel good, although, it was hard to tell if he was actually joking or not. But either way, it was convincing and made me feel pretty awesome.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back...sort of. Kinda missed this place.

12:03 am

So its 12:03 in the morning. That means its Saturday morning, and in a couple of hours, I'm not going to be living here at MassArt anymore. Summer Studios is now done. Well...not completely since we still have a gallery to show and all that...but it definitely feels like it. These 4 weeks have been this really interesting experience for me, both educationally and socially. Living in the dorms have allowed me to meet new faces and become friends with them, and taking the classes has allowed me to grow in the areas of art that I need to improve on and on the areas in which I am more familiar...but there's growth in everything, right? Anyway, this experience has been pretty sweet for me, and I kind of don't want it to end at the moment. But I'll let it, because some good things come to an end. One thing I realized is that I enjoy this school a lot. And now, I want to go here a lot more than I wanted to before. So, time to get started on my app. MassArt: Roze is on her way. And thanks for a pretty awesome summer of '09.

So this is really it

I have like, one more real day here at Summer Studios. How depressing is THAT?! I've liked it here quite a bit. Fun classes, fun people...fun everything pretty much. I've enjoyed living on this side of the river quite a bit, and I don't feel like going back to Cambridge just yet. But I gotta. Anyway, its been mad fun. Enjoyed it a ton. But, its not quite over yet, so no need to get all sad just yet, right?

badum....
