lantairvleaChewy's doing much better. Although she was still limping yesterday it was nothing like Monday. She's getting three bute tablets a day until she's walking sound again. We had to rinse out her foot again yesterday and now we have the styrafoam pad off. She was standing fine on it this morning when I fed them, so I'm looking forward to a sound and happy little haflinger in the next week or so.
Because Chewy was out I used Dakota for my Monday morning lesson and Ruby for the afternoon one. Chris said he could get used to having Ruby worked without him doing it *grin.* Tuesday lesson cancled, and I don't have any today.
I'm glad I managed to get everyone re-scheduled, though I don't think I'll be able to take any more until after school's out.
My heavens, five semesters left, I can't wait. I need to call ASU and get another appointment in with an advisor so I can be sure that I only have 21 classes left. I would like to avoid summer school at all cost and, ultimately, I would like to avoid having another 5-class semester. I'm not looking too forward to this coming semester.
I'm actually a bit frightened at the prospect of finally diving into the Art Ed major. I have no idea what to expect. The Equine classes at SCC became familiar and comforting. I knew the teachers, I knew half the students in the program. Now I've finished that and it's time to move on. It was nice getting back into art last semester, but I really don't know what to expect of these art ed classes.
And in the end I'm still not entirely sure of what I'll do once I get the BA finished. I might end up teaching at a high school or something, but ultimately I'd like to teach privately. I would have no idea what to charge, but that's what I would like to do. Teach art privately along with riding lessons. Working at a school would be the "steady paycheck," but I would rather teach those actively seeking the knowledge, that and I do much better one-on-one rather that with a group.
Anyway, that is still two years away, we'll see where it goes.
And it's funny, I know a lot of people who are pretty well-known in the (furry) art community, yet I'm an unknown. Sometimes it feels like although my skill continues to grow, I get left further and further behind. Logically I know it doesn't really matter, but that pesky emotional thing won't leave me alone, thus I get frustrated.
I need to promote myself better. I need to do more, but I'm still clueless as to what. I only have so much time to devote to trying to advertise myself and, really, I shouldn't worry about it until after I'm through with school. Once I'm "done" with my education, that's when I need to start stressing about it. That thought brings no comfort.
Anyway, no FC this year, but I will be at Leprecon in Mesa, AZ this year come May. During Spring Break I think I'll go through and select some things to frame and put up for sale in the art show. I have a couple good, large pieces, but not as many as I'd like. Just the same, we'll see how it goes. Local cons, build the base, and then maybe I can start going to bigger ones again.
Enough rabble, time to eat breakfast and work on some art
