Now that I got some sleep...and some of my conciousness back.
I really regret how horrendously crazy I've behaved this week.
(I mean...wtf was up with my last few posts..)
(I mean...wtf was up with my last few posts..)
Normally, i'm quite reserved and quiet. Don't laugh. But people have been coming up to me and telling me how i've been acting...
I think this week...just really brought out the weird in me....
I just got back from the city for class. I woke at 2pm and was almost late for a class, so I couldn't really write about my Studio class like I said I would.
I did however, go back to the dark places of my mind, and unwillingly remembered what I did/said while I lived at 55 West 13th street and at the studio.
Its fascinating,trust me.
Again, I apologize for the giggling, singing bad 90's songs, and mumbling.
enjoy.
Things were normal for a bit...then I noticed my colleagues started to crack.
My other classmate, Fatima..she was having so many issues with rendering..It was fun to watch her..
Then..I started to lose it...
really..
really..
badly.
I ran out of food that I brought from home...(I wanted to save money and not buy food)
LUCKILY..other classes were having their final crits...and they always have food set up for them..
(everybody whose not even in their class takes their food...I feel bad..kinda..)
It was at night when food became an issue. I didn't want to leave my computer...and since it was late I didn't want to go far to get food.. So I was just going to starve til I couldn't take it.
I guess the girl sitting next to me saw/heard me mumbling to myself about food because this happened...
I suppose I was overeacted a bit...but I didn't care at the time. That cookie was freakin amazing..
She must have thought I was so pathetic...because she then asks me..
thats the sad part...I didn't even know her name..
Taking a shower became an issue for me, I'm the kind of girl that needs to take a shower everyday...I didn't want to bother my friend with my bathing needs, because she was busy too.
| She was just messing with me but...yea.. |
Luckily her roomate came by to save me...before I made anyone sick
It was glorious. I felt like I could accomplish anything after that.
I can't believe some of the things I said...
this is what I apparently said, the night before the review..
I wish I could have googled my sanity that night.
In the end, it was all worth it though. Everything went better than I expected.
I was tired, weirder than usual, but satisfied.
At the time, I was so happy to hear my professor say that..that I felt a urge to cry and hug him..
I don't want to know what he must have thought about me.
POOR CRYSTAL!
ReplyDeleteHilarious post. LOVE the drawings.
Sleep deprivation, lack of food, and extreme mental duress are what they do to torture people in POW camps...
ReplyDeleteAnd, your parents are paying Parsons a fortune - so that you can do this to yourself.
This is what parents put all young university students through. And we expect you to go through all this - with a smile on your face - and turn out flawless work - despite the fact that you are young, inexperienced and have very few coping skills in place.
And you think YOU need to Google Earth to find your sanity??
Heck, I think you're doing an awesome job to function as well as you are doing.
I think if I were dealing with all that you are dealing with, I would count myself happy to just be able to sit in the corner and rock back and forth. (Of course, I would still be productive too... As I would be chewing on my left shoelace and manically counting and recounting my eraser collection. That's productive in some sort of odd way, right?)
Keep up the good work. Don't quit. You are amazing. You just need to learn to believe that you are.
You really made me cry today. I was feeling out of it but reading this made me feel so much better. Thank you so much. I wish I could express my gratitude in a stronger way than words.
ReplyDeleteSorry to make you cry. < hands Kleenex to help dry tears >
ReplyDeleteNow, put on your dancing shoes and go out and kick some butt... (Just make sure it's not your own.)
