i cant believe i only have a few more days of this class. im going to miss quite a few of my friends from this class, but i am excited for when mom gets here tomorrow.
we are working on creating a portfolio now, and im waiting to meet with claire. we are going over what i have, what i should add, what i should take out. so far i have like.. 7 really strong images that goes with the theme and mood of the portfolio. im going to make a few more portfolios for other things, but this is my main one. im happy with it. but i do not like writing artist statements. they always sound slightly pretensious, and as much as i like to be pretensious, its for fun, not something serious like an artist statement. hmmm. we will see.
in january will be the huge exhibition of everyone's work. we might even make a book. we will have to see but its all very exciting. things are going better. i think everyone is really tired, but really wanting to make these last few days amazing... so mostly good.
we had a free weekend so julz, garrett and i decided to go to elba. it was a five hour journey from siena, about 22 euro one way, but we finally arrived around 3ish. we spent about two hours trying to find a hotel, gave up and went swimming instead. the beach was all pebbles and garrett found pebbles that looked like birds. he was thrilled.
we got dinner after that, super tasty. and headed back into the main town part and basically just walked around until 1am when we checked for the earilest ferry out of elba (530am) and went back to the pebble beach and i slept on my damp town with my dress, my nightgown and shorts on, and garretts shorts on my shoulders. it was pretty awesome. sleeping on a beach sounds romantic and fun.. but its really not that exciting. more like cold and irrating. hahahaha.
but we got on the ferry and went back home. got some really good night pictures of the ferry dock which i added to my portfolio. i really wish i had reservations somewhere (saw the coolest little hotel on the beach!) and had a few days to spend and maybe not in the town we were at and i wish dad was there! since that was one of the places we were going to go. but it was a good trip minus the shitty parts. hahaha.
we have been cooking dinner lots at our house. usually luke, dean and/or corrina come join us too and everyone brings something and its really nice. i really enjoy it. its like a really mellow hangout time. we spent most nights either hanging at each others house, or in the campo.
the other night we found a democratic party thing which had a live band that did bad covers of american music, like rage against the machine, nirvana and foo fighters. we left soon after for the campo.
mom gets here tomorrow and i still cant figure out how to use my stupid phone card!
hopefully i can post pics soon, but we will see.
love jordan.
