I realize it has been awhile since I last wrote. Blogging is the last thing on my mind these days. I am now down to three weeks until my show on March 19. I have a hard time sleeping at nights for all of the thoughts that run through my head, I am always tired, I am drained emotionally, mentally, physically and all those "ally"s and I am just looking forward to the day when the show is over and I can have a social life again. I realize that this makes me sound ungrateful for the opportunity to be showing at the University Gallery, and I do not mean it to, because I understand that this is a great thing. But when you are in your studio day in and day out...a studio with practically zero natural light and all flourescent...and you are drawing minute and obsessive little drawings, your eyes start to burn and you forget to eat and all you can think of is how many more drawings you need to do. You become so focused that sometimes you forget to enjoy the process and get lost in your work.

I am trying to write a philosophy paper...clearly its not going well or I would not be spending 10 minutes writing all of this down. But I needed to update my public on my life. I will be sending out showcards at the end of this week, so if you would like one, please send me your mailing address: lauren.k.mcconnaughey@biola.edu
