I find myself so busy, I even forget to take a much needed nap when I get home. I was actually excited today when I found out we had a delayed opening. Not because I could go into work later - oh the traffic - but because I would be able to get more done in the classroom! Yay! Scrub the walls - I wish the kids would stop shaking their prints and hands - fix a few broken things, mix new chemistry, look up some information the classes might like, search for prices on classroom chairs, work on the budget, and decorate the room. Tomorrow I have to clean all the dust off the enlargers, again. I wish I could get one of those allergy dust collection machines. They are so expensive!
I found out over the weekend that another photo of mine will be in an art show. I will have two in Continuum, a national juried exhibit at Montclair State through Studio Montclair and now I will have one in Paper In Particular, national show at Columbia College in Missouri. So exciting. I would like some students to go to the one in Montclair in the spring. Not in a conceited way, but because I think it is important for them to see what other people are doing and to realize that many teachers are also working artists - time permitting, of course. I had two girls try to go to see something of mine in Chelsea last year and I was so happy. It just made my day!
I also have to get some student work ready for a show this week. One student who I really wanted to include cannot go in now because I just know I can't get the print in time. This really breaks my heart, but I know I have a couple of others to use. And, we will be getting a nice Epson printer for the digital stuff. The kids' work will look so good! I can't wait!
