There is a saying from some far-off land, that if hard work made one rich, then the donkey would own the farm. And to some degree, up to this point, I have been a donkey indeed, trudging along in a set of rules that were superseded decades ago. It is a different realm with changed throughways, of fulfillment and success on unexpected paths. There is a way to plug into this machine, to adjust and learn until success. But now that is just a tenuous theory, as I continue to fail to adjust.
Actually I am trying to adjust to the university environment and its expectations. I want to learn and grow. School is a temporary reprieve, and a chance to hatch new plans. It would be nice to be able to make a living as an artist.
This time, I want to leave school with a plan, a strategy, for success.
