hot stuff

it is crunch time of summer. it is less than three weeks now that school begins and now my mind revolves around nothing but a bunch of lists and requirements and lack of time.

yesterday i decided that i was going to be the head honcho art curator at a national museum. since i discovered this, i have plunged head first into career reports from princeton review and the government about my newly decided upon career - one that, unless you are a curator a large museum, in true macalester style, pays an average of $30,000. and you gotta have a masters. and if you want to be a big shot, a doctorate. so what the hell. any job is hard to get into.

so i continue to plunge, evaluating internships and the schools that offer doctorates in art history/arts education/museology (i'll be going to socal, florida, or new york, apparently) and now again reworking my major/minor macalester plans.

decided i had to be an art major in order to achieve: it's impossible. can i be an art minor? should i do it in studio or history? i'm further along on the studio track, but would art history look better? and if so, does that mean i should take the 8:30am MWF art history 1 class next semester and therefore be totally screwed over in both sleep deprivation and staying until the very end to take my last final?

it's 10:41am and i've already taken to advil at work.

this planning, this stress, however, gives me focus. and none of it's really real yet.

give me back the stress of planning the road trip, please.
