PRIORITIES

so throughout all of this, i am actually going to school. the hardest thing has been to keep current on my journal--they want glue-ins and descriptive responses to all our cultural experiences. i'm quite behind. the conceptual art class is fun & interesting but when you can't come up with a concept, it's a bit hard. things should be okay, i guess, but i'm already getting an anxious feeling that the end is near & i don't want to do it all at the last minute. the issue is that i love people. i love relationships & meeting & talking & being with people, and i believe people are more valuable than art & so if ever i am having a great conversation or interaction with someone or many people, i prioritize that over any reading i have to do for art history. this may be good in the long run, but it's making me anxious when i think about deadlines.

and then of course there's soccer. last night i could have gotten a lot done on my journal, maybe while watching bednobs and broomsticks with the others. but no, i proposed that we go play soccer in the mud, as it had just rained. i had several supporters & soccer revealed itself as my number one priority. it was just as good as i'd hoped. and it was better than my idea to go buy the £9 ($18) DVD of the old Willy Wonka.

so my priorities in a nutshell: 1. soccer 2. people 3. homework 4. food 5. london stuff. i hope you're all thinking the harry potter quote when ron says, "she needs to sort her priorities!"
