Say won't you Say

2 lives and one parallel course

It is no secret that my roomate corrie and I have a somewhat sad addiction everyweek day at 4pm and again at 5pm on WE channel for women, to reruns of my most favorite television show of all time perhaps, Felicity. We tape them if we miss them, but i'm not gonna lie I have skipped class to get home in plenty of time to watch 2 full hours of the show that taught me how to overanalyze, opened my eyes to my passion for Art, that having 2 guys that you want, is way more complicated than having none, and confirmed what I already knew, that New York is the most amazing city and sweaters are fabulous.

As they have gone back to Felicity's freshman year episodes and started all over again, which i'm super excited about, I am seeing more and more of felicity in myself! Not to flatter myself and say that she and I are the same person, b/c I adore her and she is beautiful and smart and of course, is only a character portrayed beautifully by the lovely Keri Russell....But, the character of felicity and I have had many similar situations. I watched the Todd MulKayhie(sp) episodes recently, and man...scary how much those relate to my life over the past 2 months.

She is now discovering her love of Art, and I am very much into my abundance of art classes and projects in full force, and looking now for my " direction" as David Hefner my Watercolor Studio teacher puts it. He says that I need an overall direction of where I am heading as an artist, that its time to get past the experimenting, trying out different things stage, which has been very helpful and productive for me.....I don't know how to achieve this so called direction though....i feel like many things in life, it cant be forced. I want it to naturally happen for me, and i've sorts been stuck in a rut with my Art lately. I'm having fun, and i still have a lot more studio classes to take to try and figure out my "direction". As an Art teacher, which is what i'm striving towards, I feel like I need to be well versed in all areas of art. I'm still learning and having a lot of fun in the process. It's amazing how much better my work is when I just let go a little bit, free up, and just let the art come to me without forcing it.

Felicity figures it all out in the end....well she actually goes back to her original major of Pre-med, hahaha but she finds direction, and I'm sure I will too.
