Summer's ending

School starts back up again this upcoming week, and I start taking classes I'm nervous about.

If I struggle through a science class, but end up doing well, I'm dedicated and hardworking.
If the same is true in an art class, I'm untalented.
Art is viewed as natural talent, not as skill that must be taught.
This complaint has been made over and over again, so I won't talk about it much more, but I'll add that it's on my mind because I'm scared of doing poorly in my art classes this quarter. What if I'm not good at design? What if it's just not for me?

I moved into my apartment at the beginning of September. As of yesterday, all three of my roommates are here, too. I wish I could decorate it as I want to, but I don't have the money, or, ultimately, the say. It's not just my apartment, after all.

I have a radio show now. I'm officially a college radio DJ. The station's programming department has asked me to extend my show for another hour for various reasons, and, while I'm worried about giving up too much sleep to the station and pulling two hours of music every week, I also have to admit that the hour seemed to fly by last week, in spite of my running out of music to play and mispronouncing a basic French word.

Have a nice week!
