I think that might be the difference between going to school at 18, and going to school as an actual adult.
I totally agree. I've noticed a few other differences as well. One of them is my great desire for feedback...on everything that I do for school. I was telling this story to Hec yesterday. We handed in our first poetry assignments for creative writing about two weeks ago. Right before we handed them in one of my classmates told me that she hoped she got a check-plus and no comments from the professor, because she was sick of working on the poem and didn't want the feedback. I'm the complete opposite of that (although I was still thrilled to get a check-plus). Even if I decide not to revise a particular assignment, I can use that feedback on other things that I do later. I'm a feedback whore, really.
vw, I feel much the same way you do about feedback. I like to know what worked in a piece and what didn't. I'm always disappointed when feedback focuses on the mechanical aspects of things and doesn't go into what the reader liked/didn't like about the piece.
ION, today is a painting day! No temp work this week, which is nice since it's all snowy here this morning.
Go you with the painting, Anne! I hope you're able to get lots done.
Me too. I'm going to get dressed at 8:15, and start painting at 8:30. I'm going to try to make myself hold to a normal workday. It might not be all painting, though. I'll also be checking in at the board from time to time; just like I would at work.
Anne, that sounds like a fabulous plan...even giving yourself breaks. It's easier to stick to a reasonable plan, I find.
Anne, you should post in the color that you are painting with.
So I should use spoiler font, then?
Heart-ma for your mom, Cashmere.
Happy Valentine's Day, Bitches.
