The Count Down Begins

8 days. a week from tomorrow. holy crap

So I had a couple going away parties in Maine this weekend. It was fantastic! Friday night, me and some of my really close friends from Maine and Boston had a late night canoeing , rope swinging, and sitting 'round a camp fire session. It was a good way for me to say good bye to maine but I think my Boston friends were so pleased to be out of the city and able to enjoy my back yard. The next afternoon, a lot of my family came to celebrate my trip but also to welcome Robbie and Jasmin home from England. It's hard to get the Dugals together these days but we had a really nice turn out. We had all kinds of food to munch on and decorations everywhere. For a while I was a bit overwhelmed by all the people in my house but I had to muster up the confidence to not shy away in the corner (since it was my going away party after all!)

That night, my friend Patricia from Boston came to see me and we drove in torrential rains to Portland. Gib was hosting a welcome home party for Jasmin and Robbie. Everyone from high school made an appearance! It was incredible! I got to see people I haven't seen in ages like Tina, Ian, Nick, Joe, Jared...man..it was crazy! We had a really awesome time catching up and chillin like we used to.

It's been a long weekend. Yesterday after I got home i crashed and I slept in pretty late today. I have a few more days left at home. I'm not really sure what to do with myself. I feel like I have so much to work on but at the same time, I don't really know what to do. Thursday I'm going to Boston for the weekend. I have orientation on Friday and Saturday and one last going away party with my MassArt friends. (which reminds me, i have to pick up my prints from mass art..and maybe make a few while i'm there) I'll be coming back on sunday and then just have Monday to get my shit together before I leave on tuesday. I'm going to start packing on wednesday before I go to Boston just in case I need to buy anything while i'm there I can.

I'm taking it one day at a time right now.

I think I'm going to go explore the rapids with my sketch book. I need to re train my hand how to draw what i see.
