I love the focus of everyone in the room, for 5, 10, 20 minutes at a time everyone is just there, observing and drawing. I do it only for me, it is not for a class and it is not a skill I am in desperate need of improving. I make work, some good some bad, and I enjoy the act of making and the grounding it gives me. I like the vulnerability of the space, there is no hiding the work you’re making.
As an architecture student I do not trust the art students who do not come to the open figure drawing sessions, like what are you scared of?

Unable to keep up with text massage conversations consistently with my schedule, I am looking to develop a correspondence through postcards. My dear long term-long distance friends who I’ve wrote to, have proven to be poor pen palls. As of now I am considering opening it up to estranged best friends and random instagram followers, I believe this is my new frontier for social connection. This was only intensified by the Cruising Utopia chapter on the New York Correspondence School.

I have been making monthly playlists for the past 4 and a half years, I do not skip months. They have been the most consistent tracking of my life over this time. There are a few rules, no full albums can be added and no songs can be repeated from past playlists. They range from 10 to 30 songs. I can tell how I was doing based on the number of songs and how congealed the musical narrative is. At this point they are habit, I make them to listen to during each month but I also make them to look back on. Producing a nostalgia for each month of each year. There are no overarching themes and these playlists decentralize my music taste, the yearly review lacks month to month consistency.
