I Want To Be A Painter

Current mood: bearmood — sad melancholy
I was browsing around Meininger Art Supply today for stuff I need for my class. I wish I money to buy paints and an easel and had a place where I could just get totally messy and not care if I dripped paint on me and on the floor. I mean, I have my craft room, but it has carpet and not a whole lot of room to fling paint around. There is also no room for an easel.

I wish I could take a leave of absence from school again. The class I'm currently taking involves putting a portfolio together. Unfortunately, that takes money. Lots of money. I don't happen to have any. I spent $70 alone yesterday and today (all I can spare at the moment). That only began to put a dent in what I need to spend. I asked for 5 days this week at work to make as much money as possible, but I guess since everyone is back from holiday vacations, it isn't to be. That totally sucks. I still need to buy or build a portfolio case, get some good paper, get ink for my printer and pay to have some of the pieces professionally printed. I really don't see how this is going to happen. What really sucks is we haven't begun anything. I was really looking forward to this class being at this time because we had the two week break to work on stuff. Well, the teacher missed the first two classes and then we were given the supply list in the third class. I could've worked on tweaking some of my work, but I worked alot over the break and didn't really have time. Oh, well. I'll have time this week since I won't be working as much. *sigh*

Well, I guess I'd better get to bed.
