rain rain rain

southern california is soggy.
classes are really picking up speed now as we actually start to do things. academic things. i don't think any of them will be too bad. none of them seem really hard and the work load is basically non-existent for a couple of them (i mean there's reading, but who does that?)
my favorite so far is probably pottery- i had taken a couple of classes at the community center a couple of years ago and it's funny what comes back to you. it's certainly easier to pick up when you have a little background.
i just love the dirt- clay is clean dirt, it washes out of your clothes and has a chalky smell.
i have it at the end of a really long day and it's nice just to be able to not think and squish dirt into something useful and hopefully, eventually, graceful.
the utilitarian part of pottery as an art form is so cool to me.
i love that it's creating something real and useful but potentially beautiful.
