This week was a busy week. The start of my new schedule. I am relying more and more on coffee. Coffee is my dear friend. Patrick too. Here is what my schedule looks like:
7am- Getting off of work. Sleepy. Go straight to bed.
9am- Wake up. Jump in shower and dress. Give myself a pep talk. Chug coffee.
10am- Internship at art gallery. Happiness. Progress
1pm- Leave gallery. Go home for lunch. Exercise for 1 hour
2-4pm- A nice nap. Bliss
5-7pm- Coffee. School. Clase de español.
7-8pm- Dinner
8-10pm Nap. Bliss.
11-7am Coffee. Work :(
Yep. That's pretty much how its going. This schedule is Monday-Thursday. I still have the gallery on Fridays, but I don't have to worry about school or work so that makes me happy. This will be date night since I will be shooting weddings some Saturdays.
On a very happy note, I was accepted into the Santa Barbara Artwalk. This means that I will be able to sell my photography every Sunday where all the Arts and Crafts artists line up along the beach to sell work. My work had to be reviewed by 10 people on an artist panel and they had to vote to approve my spot in the show. They enthusiastically voted yes and told me that my work is beautiful. That was good for my spirit.
Now I am just working on getting my display booth in order. Matte boards. Plastic Bags. Cash register. Paper. Receipts. New work. Prices. Print sizes. Revenue goals. Much to do, but very excited to be doing it. I am hoping this will fund my way back to school and also, inspire me to shoot more for the sake of my art.
Even with my busy schedule, it is easier to stay positive about it because I am working towards all of my goals. I am a firm believer that people can accomplish anything as long as you stay positive, focused, and determined. Remind yourself what you want out of life and the decisions you make and the schedules you take on become easier to accommodate with those things in mind.
Life is good.
