New Beginning

It's been some time since I've actively participated in the blogging world. At one time the popularity of LiveJournal was thrilling, and keeping track of my high school buddies was a great excuse. LiveJournal was always a load of crap though, we all knew it, and now we've got MySpace and Facebook to do that for us, and they don't need constant attention! My little working knowledge of this system is owed entirely to the genius of the one and only J. Farber and his Intro to Web Design course that I took...a million years ago.

I'm running a small business called Soul of a Starving Artist. I make jewelry, and for the most part it pays for itself, though not much more. I am a Metals major, at SUNY New Paltz, but I'm stuck in the foundation requirement BS that apparently everyone has to go through. It hurts, let me tell you, to know that I'm paying good money for professors who haven't graduated, and don't want to be there. This is not the standard of education my prep school pampered brain is used to. My farmer's daughter work ethic isn't happy either. What am I supposed to do with my time if I don't have anything to study? This is currently my biggest gripe.

I have a great passion for art, and I am utterly impatient when something is holding me back from accomplishing my goals. I am stubborn as a mule, or my father (we are two of a kind in many ways.)

I am generally a happy person.

Cheers!
