One of my favorite memories of growing up
was returning to school after the summer and gain the supply list.
Paper, pencils, Elmers glue, scissors everything that goes well
structured desk. I never really worried about About the financial
impact outfitting me for a new school year had on the family that
will multiplied it by four times when the little kids all got into
school. This must've driven my parents crazy and I never knew.
I woke this morning from the Halo
effect from my first day in class 4.know how long. I woke it 3:30 AM
and before I could get back in the sleep my mind had shifted into
full gear about things I might be sketching in my art class and how I
might do these sketches are whatever. I must admit I'm a little
confused. I mean I know that I'm just auditing this class but
everything seems to point that I'd need to treat this like I was
really expecting a grade of the best possible grade I could get which
is not the case.
I had lunch today with Lori my friend
who is also beginning classes soon and we figured we'd better have
lunch together before we both got so busy there be no time. I
should've gone earlier in the day to get my school supplies that did
not. 230 are 3 o'clock I accompanied Lori to her bus stop and took
the train further north To the 21st Street station than to
the Blick Art shop. I was really hoping I had what I needed at the
apartment but the more I read the supply list the more I needed to
just get what I needed get home. I need the big tablet, and one of
those big carrying cases that art majors always seem to have.
Charcoals, pencils, erasers and a clipboard (again, I thought I had a
clipboard that was suffice but it's too small I find). The reason I
met the Blick shop is because the community college did not have the
supplies needed for the class which I thought was kind of strange.
Mr. Carley, the instructor, indicated that sometimes campus art store
will have the whole packet stuck together that you need for the
course. That would've made sense if Mr. Carley at action set down and
requested such packages be put together with the obviously did not.
Therefore I hoped the 21st St. store would have what I
needed. They had everything pretty much except for large clipboard
which I will have to wait until their order comes in means another
trip. I still have to get a few more things to fully integrate in the
class. I knew this was going to cost more than anticipated. Don't
know why I was shocked and surprised when I got my bill $60 plus! I
guess somewhere in my past that heard how expensive an art major was
but I didn't pay much attention, now I do. Luckily, I've kept my
credit card paid to zero which means I can absorb this unplanned for
cost readily but I wish I did not have to. Then I got to thinking why
am I being so literal in getting these materials when I'm just
auditing the class I mean does it even matter if I turn anything in?
I just need to sit there and enjoy the lecture and watch the other
folks squirm I assume. So to that end I maybe just about finished
with my expenditures for art this summer term. I kind of doubt will
be in autumn term.…
