at midterm

So now that I'm at midterm, I have a lot that I want to do in the second half of the semester. What surprises the most about where I am at, at this point, is that I've ended up doing what I'm really interested in. Before the semester started, I hoped that I would be able to get into creative writing, because that's something I've always wanted to try but never really had the reason/opportunity to. But I didn't think that was actually going to happen. Now however, I'm in the midst of a really exciting process of combining my reactions thoughts (reactions) to master works to contemporary images. Or the reverse- combining my personal thoughts and contemporary thought to "older" images. I'm also working on a film, that is a little beyond description right now. But its has a lot to do with connect and disconnect, and my experience with trying to pinpoint my identity in Italy. That encompasses also the issue of overlapping histories, that I address in my creative writing/image pairings.

Basically, its all very exciting !
