New Semester just started on Monday...and it's in full swing already. They kept telling us last semester was getting us ready for the "good stuff" and now I to completely believe them. It's only really day 2 of classes for me and I just have to say...My little mind is kinda blown. I'm a little in shock at all the things that we are going to get to do, see and experience in the next 3 months.
I have a virtual restoration project that I'm starting on tonight, research and fiddling and on Friday I get to really take a good look at my full restoration project for the semester. We each get our own painting to work on and I have one that...well...I'm humbled and a little scared for the first time since I've been here. It's kind of a big deal painting...with big deal far reaching applications. It will go on display immediately after I'm done with it...hung...in public...after I've redone it!!! Holy shit...this is real now...
Deep breaths right? So this is me, only a few hours of finding out what I'm going to be working on. A bit...well you decide for yourselves. I can't post any photos of my work until much later but I'm excited and terrified in this moment. I'm sure it will wear off when I finally get to touch it...whoooo hooo...I'm an art restorer!
I think I'll need more than luck...back to the books for me.
If you do half as well on the restoration project as you did painting the butterflies in your stomach... you ought to do well.
