Slow Life

I've been without a car in San Antonio for just over two weeks now. Well, again. Been riding the bus and walking a lot. Which has its benefits. All the walking helps me think some and my body feels better. I've been working late, so I have been sleeping at school on some occasions. I'm pretty comfortable in my little studio space. It's nice having all my things and tools around me Once I figure out how I can do laundry at school, I'll be set.

This school living has been providing me the kind of graduate school experience that I had wanted. I'm always in my studio, around my work, and most importantly, around other minds to tap. I have a small studio in the sculpture department, (a good 20 minute walk away), and had rarely spent time there due to its isolation and air quality. I now have a small space in the painting department, well-ventilated, cooled and heated, and with lots of company. Nice to have sounding boards to bounce ideas off of, and to actually be inside the art department. I may have to fight to keep a space in the art building. I hope not.

I've been trying to figure out a way to have some official "office hours" that will be posted. I would have an open office for consultations or coffee breaks. Since I am TA'ing a class, I would actually like to talk to some of the students outside of class time and see what they are doing and why they are making their work.
