Thesis, Thesis, Thesis

I am so nervous about this semester! I first need to make some work for the thesis show and then write the thesis paper! Ugh, this is going to be hard but it will all be over around the end of March, which is actually pretty scary because we all didn't realize that the show was like half way through the semester and not at the end. Buuuuuuut, this means that after the show we have a month-ish where we don't have to do much of anything and focus on getting jobs!!!!! I am stuck right now on the theme of my thesis or should I say the thesis of my thesis. I should be meeting with the chair of my committee any day now and will be pointed in the right direction. Until then, I will start writing the portion about myself and my past because that is something I know somewhat about (haha, I don't have the best memory, it's kind of sad).

Unlike the my peers, I have never really had a strong theme or series in my work. I am always all over the place and always will be. For those of you who know me, I don't really like talking about the meaning of my work and most times do not think that I have an intended meaning in my work. My work has always been about process, materials, color, texture, and design. I guess I shouldn't try to force anything else and just write about exactly what I just said. I am an honest person and am not good at "BS-ing", so it might be in my best interest to be myself and write what I know. This will make it easier to defend my thesis. Oh yes, did I mention that we have a thesis defense. This is when you stand in front of your 3 committee members who try to attack you and question you to death about what you wrote. That is what I am most scared of. I not a great writer and I am an even worse speaker! I will get through it, I always do. I just want to get through it with the least amount of stress possible, which means no procrastinating and being completely ready for what is coming way before it gets here :-)

Wish Me Luck!
