I've been busy

so I've been busy,

I've been working on a new body of art, 7 pieces to be exact, it's taking forever. I am finally finished with all the sewing, and I can say that with confidence, yes, I am finished with all the sewing on those 7 pieces.

I'll post the work in progress images after I'm done writing, the pieces aren't done, I have a long way to go.

Also I've been applying for a teaching job. Printmaking, it's what I got my degree in. it's fortuitous, I've hit a big road block along the way. I need a copy of official transcripts. I thought that's fine. I'll get them easily. well... not so easy. I paid for them and waited a week, got a letter in the mail to call the school because they weren't going to release them till I did, so I called the next day, they won't release my transcripts till I pay off my student loan.  around 3800 bucks. well I haven't had a job since June and before that it was in 2001 that I had my last retail job. I have never been able to afford to pay them back. the school is holding my transcripts hostage and of course the other school that I'm applying to wants official transcripts. I have a set of unofficial ones. I am going to send them along. the dream job is just that a dream. I don't know how they expect people to get work if they can't get something that is required  for a job. I hope they overlook the unofficial. do you think they will? 

there always seems to be an obstacle with everything I do. continuously unlucky...

I think the last thing that happened to me was my head abscess. well it's closed now, it's not pretty, but the good thing that happened with that is that I got my diabetes meds and also hair is growing back. I had a bald spot there before. yay. hair. lol.
