I have been up since 4 am. I have completed my weight lifting routine. I am waiting for the sun to rise so I can bike up Knox Mnt. Am I insane? No, sadly just a victim of clock sabatoge. SOmeone messed with my bedroom alarm clock. It said 6 at 4. I arrived down in Zen Studio to find the clock said 4. I was sure someone had messed with the studio colck and put it ahead 2h and proceeded to do my workout. Afterward, I wondered why it was still so dark at 7 am. I got on my computer to facebook until the sun came up and discovered my time quandry. C&#8217;est la vie.<br \/>I don&#8217;t like biking up Knox in the dark because of dangers. The coyotes are super bold in the dark and will bark at me from beside he road; not to mention the 2 legged creeps that can occasssionally be found in a dark park.<br \/>I guess I&#8217;ll be pooped later today.<br \/>I must get groceries as soon as I drop Pip at preschool. Then I must start right back on my thesis: dig up my research ethics sheet, call my supervisor to set up a meeting.<br \/>The big reason I decided to go for my MFA was because I was so desperately tired of putting my art\/creative writing on hold. I felt doing my MFA (a visual art thesis) would alow me to embrace my art once again. But the truth was that I had to put my creatuve self on hold even longer. I had to take lame research based classes all year and wouldn&#8217;t have time to jump into creating until a whole year at the earliest. So, actually fininshing the MA by the end of this fall will allow me to jump into my painiting\/writing much sooner. That&#8217;s all I want: to paint and to write and to make money doing it.<br \/>So that is what I shall do. As soon as my Thesis is complete, I will jump into being a full time artist. I am so excited about this. I will continue to educate myself in both fields through international workshops, and making local art\/writing connections.<br \/>I will make a hair appointment today to get some low lights. Can one ever be too blonde? The answer is yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pip and I at Doe-Doe Park last Thursday (we named the park after our dog).It is 5 am.
