Today was rather satisfying, I think. I got lots done. Finished my woodshop project, got another one of my pieces displayed, attended a lecture, fell asleep at the lecture - all is well. I think the lecture wasn't necessary for me though, or any other freshmen. It was way ahead of us. I figured this out by looking around the room and seeing rapt faces on the older students and dazed confusion and sheer boredom on the faces of my fellow freshmen. I wish I could say I was inspired by the speaker, but unfortunately, his words were like a different language to me.
One thing that really ruined part of my day though was a review I got of the work I sent into Cooper Union. It was so incredibly harsh that I have to wonder, why is it that they even waitlisted me? When I think about all the work I sent in, they are, for the most part, pure crap. The work I do now seems a lot better though, so I figured the comments wouldn't affect me too much. Boy was I wrong. I ended up crying for the next hour. Thank goodness the lecture hall was kind of dark, because that would just be embarrassing.
I'm trying very hard to be in a good mood, can you tell? I haven't been very happy for the past couple of weeks. I strongly suspect it's just PMS, but still, it's very negative. Must try to be more positive. Glass half full...
