this week

i spent this week relaxing and detoxing myself from all the stress from last week. my stiff joints, face war ;P, and sleepless nights have subsided. i'm preparing for another battle in about 3 weeks for my last test and end of semester warfare. this week has gotten me back to normal sleeping habits. i've been waking up at a decent hour at 9am and going to bed at midnight. no more going to bed at 2am and waking up at 11am for me, i kinda enjoyed it. unfortunately someone pointed out that going to bed late causes pimples hence my face war. :P we'll see if it's true. i'm the experiment.

skool notes
last night for class, we had a "social" gathering at my prof's home. it was supposed to be a mood booster from the conflict that happend last week. long story short (well, i'll try) there's a woman who's ~64 and is very difficult to get along with. she has caused a lot of personality conflicts in our class this semester. tension has been built up between my classmates and her because of the exhibit we have been planning. the tension was brought by the not-so-lovely emails the older woman has sent to the class. a lot of the students felt that her tone was very condescending and they were upset. so basically last week there was a harsh discussion (aka. a fight trying to remain professional) and of course, nothing was settled. the older woman did not admit fault, while everyone else was admitting to it on their part. it was sad to see that the older woman does not realize fault in her personality. she has a lot of walls built up because she feels that she's the one w/ the most experience (aka. she has a master's and ph.d. already) and we're inadequate because we have little experience. which is a sad thought. is it because she's older and set in her ways? that's what i have come to the conclusion. since i'm in charge of the exhibit i've been stepping around toes because she is on my committee. it has been a great test of patience working with her and trying to have a loving heart on my end. unfortunately, other students don't feel compelled to do so. i feel like a lot of people have given up on her, even our professor.

personally i think artists have interesting sensitive egos and it can get it in the way of trying to get along with others. i try to stay balanced and maybe, i'm not so sensitive. :P

oh boy, here comes the emails again...
