Diane’s World

Why do I listen to songs that make me upset?I have a playlist on my computer called “Songs that bring back bad memories”.And I listen to it… A LOT.Do I think it will make me feel any better?Death Cab for Cutie’s “Tiny Vessels” is a major heart breaker for me. Not only because it’s a sad song, but the unfortunate memories I have attached to it. Some days I catch myself listening to this song on repeat… talk about depressing.

Anyways.

Sorry I haven’t posted much - I didn’t have much of an opportunity to over thanksgiving break.

But I had an ok break. I went to Minnesota with my roommate, Laura.

For the most part it was a low-key break. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s so hard to be away from Dordt… I had a hard time getting my mind off of all the art that I have to get finished in the next week.

However, the highlight was getting to spend a day with my old art professor, Professor Van Geest. She is the woman I give most credit to for turning me into an art major.

Her daughter, Julia, made me a painting!:

and…

I’ve been painting and sculpting. My hands are absolutely nasty.

However I have no art I feel like showing.

All I have to say is stay tuned - Sunday I should have a post with a million different things. And by a million, I mean a couple pieces of sculpture, a painting and what ever else I have the momentum to make this weekend.

Life is currently a roller coaster… my emotions have been purely in the extremes. I wonder why.

Sorry so boring, expect better later.
