I'll Probably Get Some Carpet Burns

So...come to find out I'm at the Harvard of Korean Art Universities. Also, many of the students study for two or three years at institutions just to get into the school. On top of that, the semesters are different, so everyone is in the second semester of their school year. This means that when I ended up nabbing a studio space with the seniors at Hognik, I actually nabbed a space with the graduating seniors. Although I'm a junior, I wasn't technically an art major until this year. I took a few art classes my freshman year that inspired me to not give up on art. When I transfered back to USU I had missed the deadline for applying to the art program, but pretended to be an art major by taking a few more classes until I got accepted into the program in the spring. To summarize, I'm sort of behind. Sort of really behind, especially when you add in me late bloomer tendencies! And here I am attempting to paint amongst the graduating seniors! haha, yet again I find the greatest way to get ahead in life is to be the greatest Poser who ever lived (see also: heather peng) and ride along on the wings of champions (actually it's more like clamping onto someone's foot as they drag you across the carpet-like you do to big people when you are a little kid-or to Morgan at the Last Chance Dance in high school until he says to the guy that your with to, "get your date off me."). I've tried to run with the philosophy that to get better at life, hang out with people cooler than you. Yeah you feel like an idiot most of the time, but you might make it.
