My life is really full.

I would say- I don't know how I got so lucky. 

But I do.

I believe in things. and when I feel moved.... I act on it. 

We all are. 

And you notice.. I say PART superhero.

only part. 

____________________

The other part of me is FREAKING OUT. distraught. worried. 

doubtful. lazy. nervous. 

however that part is really important. 

without it - we would have no empathy. understanding. need for love. 

we wouldn't be looking for amazing things that matter. 

LIKE THIS:

LIVE ART.

Hear me out on this. I talk about it all the time.

But this is the most important project I have been a part of.

and right now- our short documentary film is up for a big vote.

it is about our every day moments in class. 

that is where the magic happens. 

The show is amazing. ( this year LIVE ART 2013 will be on DEC 22. ) 

but living inside of it... with these kids.

Full.

Difficult is the only guarantee.

time: almost midnight.

ew. I knew this would be a tough little series of deadlines.

but I always think when a project is over that I will - catch up. 

ha. never. 

but really who wants to catch up. 

probably someone lame.

because if you are going somewhere... you can't stop.

__________

I don't usually post things "in progress" before I have the final picture to post with it. 

But I also don't usually eat so many thin mints. 

__________

so . in honor of my second all-nighter in a row. I want to show you what my roommate found me with. 

                                            *mid-construction of a lion puppet for a dance production.

stay tuned. final images will be on here sooner or later. but I have a long night ahead. of ... 

finishing this guy. and 32190312 other things.

hes not done. hes just here. and I thought someone should know. 

__________

And.

while I am walking through the day sleep deprived. I am reminded even more how blessed I am. 

by my support.

my opportunities.

and my challenges. 

people are so good to me. 

and my life is not boring.

__________

I'm gonna go make coffee. 

I know. the thought at this late hour makes me ill too.
