Entry #1

A Big Day

Today was a really big day personally, but also in my art career. Heres the Top three crazy things that happened.

Honestly I still cant beilive this all happened in one day. When I woke up I was pretty uninspired and actually was about to skip Mauy Thai and be lazy, but at the last minute got dressed. When I went to class I was not super excited becuase we were doing knees which Im ok at but not great. I was training with the nice lady tho, but shes very short so I keep messing up holding the pads and I feel bad. She even offered me her old white shirt becuase id been a loser for so long I needed a new one. The whole experience of beng a young girl white shirt for almos two years was really fiddicul mentally and I almost quit. I just couldnt stand seeing guys get leveed up so quick with no form just becuase they were born strong. They also treat me like a baby becuase im relatovly weak and the youmgest person there, which makes sense when im sparring buts still condensiding. Overall very hard, but to my suprise i got leveled up!!! I am so excited to be a yellow shirt (level 2) becuase people will take me seroiusly and I can spar and maybe compete. Anyway that was a major event but not all.

The next crazy thing that happened was I decided to skip the scholastic art ceremony (national artawards thingy) to go speak at a gallery show a piece of mine was in. The theme of the show was wood Burls, which are like tumorous lumps that grow on trees and cant be harvested for art/woodworkng until the tree falls down. Anyway the curator saw my piece in anther show and we hit it off so he invited me to show it in his burl show. IT was really cool beucase all these ecologists/carpentders/forestry guys and artists were there and that like my dream job. BUt back to today I went to the curational panel and he spoke about my piece and was so nice. It was really shocking to hear how he described it but it was very flattering. He asked me to talk to the crowd and I was a little nervous but I think it went well. After words I wanted to talk to people but was too nervous so just chatted to a few people about my school. The main takeaway is it made me realise my art career is on the ups and people are beggining to watch me.

after that I managed to make it to the after-reception for the art awards, and I ended up meeting up with some friends which was nice. I also saw someone from middle school (i switched schools) and it was a little akward but sweet.Next I went home and chilled by watching tv with mom. We watched a movie (day after tommorow or somthing?) about climate change apocoloyse. Kinda cool but whatever.

OK so final crazy thing is I was volunteering for an art gallery tonight for their annual art auction, and it was pretty boring at first, but somtehing cool happened. The lady whos in charge of the gallery I know pretty well becuase I was an artsts for this event for them, and she asked me if she could speak about me and the work ive done for her gallery speak to patrons. It was really cool cuase she made e sound pretty awesome and descries how I was the onl highschooler to do the show and how when their windows got shot I helped pant murals on the plywood ect. It was a powerful momnet for me becuase suddently all these people where clapping for me and its like all the work I spent months doing was being recongized. After word a bunch of poeple even came up to me and said they say my piece and stuff so that was cool. While iwas cleaning up trash/glasses I also heard somene talking about me which was nice.A bad indugence of mine is that I love attention so this was pretty nice, especially becuase arts something i especially like attention for. I know its kinda egotistical and selfsih but these moments really made me happy. Im a little worried though becuase I dont know how im going to live up to the hype now, people keep asking me whats next. Im not sure, but i just know im not done yet.
