Diane’s World

This song makes me happy.

The video to it makes me even happier.

Packing makes me unhappy.

Very unhappy.

And yes, this means that I’m graduated.

Am I ok?

I kind of go through stages.

A third of the time I’m excited to start a new part of life, to see my nephews and family, to go to Germany.

A third of the time I pretend that nothing is different - I’m in denial.

And a third of the time I break down into uncontrollable tears. This third stage is very unpredictable, unstable and irrational. I think the funniest breakdown was when I started crying when it was time to pack my teddy bear away:

Don’t laugh at me. I’ve slept with this thing since valentine’s day of my Junior year of highschool. I’m going to miss it.

On top of this, I kind of wish I could entertain the idea of going to graduation or my senior show… or some kind of closure. I don’t feel… done. It’s like I’m being prematurely ripped from something I haven’t become bored with yet.

But I’m going to get over it. I promised myself that much.

I have some pictures from the last week.

In drawing class we had free time, and Naomi and I were feeling like our usual goofball selves. So we decided to make tuna fish sandwiches.

If that’s not random enough, we kept on commenting on how the sandwich would be so much better if the bread was toasted.

What do we do?

Yes, that is the kiln.

WE tried the top first, but then we realized that we were possibly getting fumes. Then Nic discovered this neat method:

OH boy.

Yes…. tasty.

I made a new friend, and my new friend made me a painting

He is a neat guy. His name is Josh.

I’ve been making lots of art exchanges recently, but I’ve also stopped documenting them. David Lammers (an engineering and art major who works a lot with metal) switched one of my ceramic hearts for a neat turtle. I’ll post pictures of that in a year when I finally retrieve my stuff from Sioux Center. (WAA!)

Besides all that, I’ve been saying a lot of goodbyes.

I’m sick of saying goodbye. No more. If you still haven’t said goodbye, stay away from me, ok? (haha… just kidding… I think?)

On a much happier note… even though it still doesn’t feel like christmas time for me, I am going to share something I shared last year - it’s the neatest thing in the whole world. Well, at least it makes me smile

Well that was a boring post. I’m going to shut up before it gets worse… or before I go through another crying fit

I’ll post soon! Have a wonderful weekend, everybody.
