What can I say? Life sucks and then we move on.
To wrap it up, I am not coming back to IWU next semester to study, I will come at the end of April (hopefully) for graduation and hang outs with graduating people.
Until then, I will be in London for a few months until I get my passport done at the Russian embassy. Then I will be in Prague getting other things done. That is all really.
It sucks because I had so many plans for next semester. It sucks because a little thing like this can put a hold on my studies, on life in general. But at the same time, nothing bad ever happens without some good. And in my case, there was some good in this as well.
When you are robbed of your most important possessions, you start to think how really important material things are in life. Do you really need all these things? Are you really that strongly attached to them? And I mean, all the money and files and passport yeah, you can't really live without them. But at the same time I feel like this is a sort of clean slate. And that is also important. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in life, you forget things like how important your art really is. Because when I ran into the robbed flat, the first thing I thought of was "Did they take my art books? Are they damaged in any way?" and I was so relieved to find them just fine, that I forgot about anything else.
As for other good things, I also learned how to be more competent, since Zig always says I'm completely useless in everything. It's strange but I don't really want to go back to painting. Maybe it's good I'm having such a long break from it after all. I was talking to someone about how everyone seems to be using words now. A lot of people in my art program here are doing stuff with words, and me included now! I write stories about dead people! I still havent figured out how I am going to present this. I have to get some advice from Bernard. Ah, Bernard dearest. My new mentor after Miles. Miles is still awesome, I just hope he is around when I finally make it back to IWU.
Well some pictures to sum it all up?
Picture taken with Pat's iphone. This is the door that let in those motherfuckers. But we took the picture for an art project I was asked to participate in. Ha. If only that artist knew what she was asking...
With new computer comes the new desktop picture. Obviously, Alice Glass.
From Yvan Rodic's blog, I think this one is from New York. I just find it really funny.
Haha. Still from Y.R.'s blog. I wouldn't be surprised if it was those Hackney hipsters who broke into our flat. Though they wouldn't have enough strength to kick in our door.
Oh yeah, we have no door until Tuesday. We have a metal sheet that we balance on the broken door frame. And we have to babysit our flat, so that someone is always in it. At night I don't sleep, I'm a guard dog. Woof. Got my Swiss knife ready in case anyone unwelcome shows up. Beware.
