A Work In Progress

I really wish I was freaking out about my BFA review. I feel out of the loop being so excited and comfortable with review being next friday. I keep finding myself talking about my work, where it's headed and what I am aspiring to do and I just can't help but be happy and feeling fortunate with all that's unfolding in my life. The people around me and going up for review with me are so inspiring and I just can't wait to continue the rest of the year with them. Yesterday I heard two quotes that I am going to try and live by, especially this year! One came from my loyal partner in crime, Nicholas. He knows that, even though I am happy right now, I still struggle with being home from Vienna. "Kasper, I read a quote from Dr. Seuss today and thought of you. 'Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened.' "  Amen. Then my home, Ms. Bivens, told me she heard an inspiring quote in her master class from Kristin Brewer. "Love the journey." It's so true. I am always thinking ahead and often loose the joy in the very things that are happening right now. Whether I am happy or sad I want to love every moment because thank God I get to experience them. I get to learn, love and grow from everything and I don't want to loose sight in the beauty of that. So, after pondering and thinking through all of that, I don't feel bad for being excited about BFA review. I am going to love the journey and review just happens to be part of the process. Not to mention the fact that I am so blessed to even be offered the chance to show work to the great minds that make up an extremely credible program. Not many people get the opportunity to have an education like I have and for ALL of that, I am grateful. If anything, I'll "blame it on the boogie."
