36 ideas in one day

The school year is off! Starting today I came up with 36 ideas for my Division 3 in two hours. My goal is 50 by noon tomorrow.

I'm taking a class at Umass, "Art, Community, and Cultural Diversity" which I'm pretty excited about. I think it will give me a good background in writing grants and presenting myself as a community artist and getting funding for my projects, as well as discussing how to responsibly engage with the communities I'm working with. I hope the fact that it's a "communications" course instead of an art course will be great, and challenging. I'm hoping that the emphasis on community involvement and real-life application that the professor said was key to the course really is key!

I'm settling into school and getting ready for an exciting year. My room is set up and I'll hopefully be moving into the art barn soon, and making the living room area of my house more live-able instead of junk-piled. Check back soon for more cohesive and content-filled posts. Right now I'm feeling too overpowered by the impressive amounts of balloons from the Republican National Convention.
