Gearing Up


 My favorite mug from my last firing at Chico State! Sniff, sniff.


I have been working my way through the mountains of stuff I brought home from the school studio.  It is amazing just how much accumulated in four years.  I'm still having a hard time getting used to the idea that I actually graduated.  Last night, while making small talk, an acquaintance asked me if I was looking for a job.  After all, that's what you are supposed to do after graduating, right?  When I responded that no I wasn't looking for a job I think it kind of perplexed this person.  But then it occurred to me, hey, I am already working.  I have a DBA and a resale number and a shop on Etsy.  I am busy downloading applications for exhibitions.  I am gearing up to take photos of my recent work  to submit for the exhibitions and to put new work on my Etsy shop.  I am also researching grad schools and applying for assistantships.  So, I am actually pretty busy.  Who has time for a job!  Haha.  How much money I will actually be making is an entirely different story.  I look at it more as an investment that I will need patience while I await for delayed gratification.
