I have made an important decision this semester: I dropped one of my painting studios. As much as I hate to quit something, I believe there comes a time when you have to admit defeat and do the best thing for yourself. I was enrolled in 2 separate advanced watercolors, plus the non-traditional figure, plus I work 40 hour weeks to support myself. This was one of the crazier ideas I have had in a long time, and I realized it completely half-way through the semester. I felt my work was already beginning to suffer under the time restraints, which isn’t worth the extra 3 hour credit. I am tremendously relieved, and even feel better physically! From now on, I will not sign up for more than 2 studio classes at a time.
