What ELSE am I doing besides 7A, you ask?

          In addition to 7A, I am also taking Intermediate Painting and Art History: Pre-Columbian Art of South America.  My other classes are going fairly well.  I really enjoy painting, but it is extremely time consuming.  I spend the majority of my studying time in the painting studio.  I am currently conceptualizing a non-objective painting and avoiding a photorealist painting, but I have to complete both in the next few weeks.  This schedule is making me slightly insane.  I barely have time to eat.  I think I have lost about 5 lbs this quarter simply because I lack the time.
Sort of the direction I want my painting to go in.
          Pre-Columbian Art of South America is alright.  I do enjoy learning about the iconography of the ancient peoples of Peru.  However, my professor kind of confuses me.  S/he goes on and on about how we should respect these ancient people and not "talk down" about their ways of life, but then s/he goes on to describe the artifacts with words like "cute."  I'm pretty sure s/he was bashing on religion  in class today.  Basically, I like the material, but I'm not sure about my professor.
Nasca Lines: just one subject we learned about.
