Its the end of my first year at MICA. I’m surprised at how much I’ve learned. I feel weird about the things that have happened whilst here. I learned new skills, created new work, but I also got stepped on and used. I basically feel like I’ve experienced a taste of what the real world would be like. Something I find kind of weird is how much I miss people. The other day at a festival I saw someone I had known earlier in the year, and suddenly felt really sad about how we don’t talk anymore. I miss him a lot, but I think that I have already ruined that opportunity to be friends. I feel like a lot of us here have ruined opportunities like that. It really makes me realize how much I wish I would’ve paid more attention to what I was doing/saying earlier on in the year, but alas, without those missteps I wouldn’t have learned what I know today. Also, Sculpture and painting are NEVER going to be my thing.
I hope I can manage to make something of myself here. Though I would hate to become a “My friends in the Summer” Photographer. Here’s Hoping.
