Vibram Five Fingers

New pair of shoes, testing them out to see if they are at all practical for outdoor work. These are last season's size 40 women's Vibram FiveFinger Sprint in taupe. Today is the first day of my last semester ever of senior thesis as an undergraduate at MICA. I'm sleep-deprived from working the graveyard shift from midnight to 6 AM, but somehow my heart is racing with excitement and I am petrified and thrilled.

Studio!

W00t! I got my senior studio assignment, which is in MICA's "studio center" on North Avenue, quite a disapointment compared to being in the station last semester because of my independent study. But you know what? I'm happy to be in a building with massive amounts of space and people who are not fibers majors. People leave lockers, tables, stools in their studios at the end of the year, so I found an awesome table, except for how it was covered in paint. But, an hour or two of belt sanding and I had a table ready for re-finishing. I also re-arranged ad-infinitum, I must have moved the table seven times, but I just want everything in order for starting to work. My bedroom is much emptier, but I still have to put up my curtains, put my books up on shelves, etc. It It's truly strange to think that I don't know where I'll be living or what I'll be doing after MICA. I know I want to get my WFR, work outdoors, so do I plan for that or do I go the optimistic route and try straight for grad school? And do I do my WFR this January or do I wait to work for a place this summer who will pay for it? Oy.
