Mentor Meeting 3/28

I met with Jocelyn today 7th and all was as normal. I don't require that much help from her; my project is well laid-out and I know what I'm doing. So we mainly say hello and she asks if everything is going well and I respond in the affirmative. She said something about how Ms. Gergely said something about me not getting enough peer feedback. /Engage bitch mode/. None of my peers have remotely enough expertise in my area of interest to provide any feedback for me above the level of "that's pretty." (Or "that's ugly", I guess.) Nor does Ms. Gergely herself. So I don't know what kind of feedback we're talking about here but I am doing just fine without it. /disengage bitch mode/.

It's been one hell of a Monday, is all I have to say.

Right, so. I am also in the process of developing my idea about this art show. I am thinking of having it in the black box theater in Kulp (that's the school auditorium, for my rapt international audience who doesn't know what I'm talking about). And I am thinking of getting my cherished boyfriend James to play his cello, which he does marvelously, which is a double whammy of a good idea because he isn't having a formal senior recital (even though he should, imho) but this would still provide him a venue to mess around and do some improv or something and be heard doing it. And it would attract a whole other cohort of people. And also Jocelyn said she would make hors d'oeuvres. And I am thinking of, well, not charging admission per se, but having a "suggested donation" at the door, so that even if the attendees don't purchase our pieces (which they should) we will still soak them for some $ to save Japan. That's the most important part of this whole thing. We are donating all of our proceeds, that is 100%, to the Japanese tsunami/earthquake relief effort.

Still have to contact whoever's in charge of Kulp and see how much they are going to charge us to have the black box for an evening. And the deadline for the first WISE grant is passed and knowing Ms. Gergely she won't believe that I just had this idea today and will only believe that I am pulling my usual bullshit and desiring special treatment which I don't deserve. So if we need a grant and we missed the window, I will just have to get my partner in art, Jenny, who is a darling puffball of sweetness and light and can be resisted not even by the most powerful lords of the Sith, to talk her 'round.

Like I said, Mondays.
