But at the end of the day, what exactly was I stressed about? Where the Art History class is in terms of the Expressionism unit? When I should bring in my sewing machine to show students how to sew? What's for dinner? What's my schedule today? Where is the Bone and Marrow's LP release show going to be when this album's done? When am I going to sit down and work on another pysanka egg? Or start that self portrait I've been having dreams about? It's been so warm and sunny out, which is probably my biggest distraction right now too. Should I do the right thing and prep for tomorrow or enjoy the moment now?
Those are all good things to be stressed about, and maybe (in some weird way) I should be grateful for the stress. When there finally comes a day that I'm not stressed in some way, I'm worried that may mean I'm not growing or doing anything significant. Stress must be a sign that I'm doing everything I should be doing.
Is it a coincidence that we should be talking about this painting the next few days in class? I can't wait to see Munch's "The Scream"next Friday at the Neue Gallery with an old friend.
So, What's happening?
My students work is currently on exhibit until next week, with the reception scheduled for this Friday, April 29 from 6-8 at the Middletown Arts Center in Middletown NJ.
My last Pysanky Class of the season will be in Wall Twp at the Arts Project Room this Saturday
Daimon and I (Bone & Marrow) will be playing 3 big shows this May- Caldwell University on Saturday May 7 at 2pm. May 14 with Remember Jones for their album release show. Last but not least, the anticipated album release of No More Pain, at Brighton Bar at 7pm on May 18.
There is most definitely a discernible difference between good stress and bad stress :)
