I Live!

Copyright Jennifer Rose PhillipSo the MRI was fun on Monday. My neurologist wanted a contrast dye for one of the scans which was new to me and sadly I did not glow blue :/ Thankfully it didn't take too long and this time I remembered not to jump right out of the machine and didn't faint. And I didn't have to wear one of those ass-less gowns thankfully for the scan. I know why the gowns have no back but a part of me thinks its also so the staff has something to laugh at. But trust me when you are as high as as kite from morphine you don't really care if your butt is on show (and in a ward of 6 women I was not the only one in that state ;p).
So anyway lol lots of drawing to do this weekend of which this is one. A highland coo dressed up with Xmas decorations. hmm might have broken into the farm house and had a fight with the tree? Looks like the tree lost.
And I also am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I would think that at my age it would be easy to figure out. Yeah no, not the case. Yes art is my life and I would probably go completely insane if I had to stop but I never want art to feel like a chore. It doesn't now at college but I am not sure if further education artwise is something I want to do. I love that I am drawing everyday and am actually learning but not sure what direction I will go with it. I would love to do illustration work but not sure if I could just try to expand on what I know myself or try to get into college or uni.
On the other hand try to get into archeology. Something I've wanted to do for..it seems like forever. I need to see what qualifications I need to apply and if I have to go back to school, which I might have to. I could combine the art with the archeology which I think would be a great combination and help solve the problem I am having.
Decisions decisions.

We don't ever have the open at the back gowns here. We are just lucky I guess!!! It is always a bit unnerving to have radioactive things injected into oneself- was yours radioactive and blue???
Oh combining art and archaeology sounds fabulous, and I have seen people doing that on TV!!!
I would say that the tree definitely lost! Great idea for a Christmas card!!
Good luck with that big life question! I don't think age helps much. I know lots of folks that still ponder their life direction. Get rest and drink fluids and in general be good to yourself! I have always wondered where that expression 'sick as a dog' came from and I guess I should give it a Google! :-)
Don't do to much to fast. Give yourself time to get better.
Sometimes you sound like me wondering what to do with my life. I know just how you feel.
Dont you just hate those "assless gowns",forever holding the back together so no one can see your butt lol.
I love the cow with the decorations,something a little different for Xmas methinks....and as for what you want to do with your life,follow your dreams,life is too short as to not give it a shot.
Oh how I do hate those gowns and I the MRI scan too. I have to imagine myself somewhere nice when I do that scan or I get claustrophobic.
I am sorry that you have caught a bug.Hope you take rest. As for the life question I am sure you will figure it out in the end. It is hard sometimes. Archeology and art combination sounds very fasinating.
Glad to hear you are on the mend and I hope you are feeling much better soon! i still don't know what I want to be when I grow up :-) Education is a life long journey, whatever form it takes. Your ideas sound exciting!
Reality checks suck, don't they? Hate decisions, just remember, you never know what will come your way and if you don't do it now, you may do it later. So says lady oracle being deliberately vague.
Glad you are feeling better & good luck with your decision, or should I wish you wisdom?
I went to university and took a class from nearly every department - biology, astronomy, history, art, english, anthropology, geology, philosophy... All of them inform my art now. You could train as an illustrator and an archaeologist. Those skills combined would make for an interesting career and always allow you to create.
Either way, enjoy all of the possibilities and jump in when you are ready. Life is an adventure!
Mmmmmm - art and archaeology sounds like a fun combination! :) Hope you are well on the mend :D
cindy very lucky to not have those gowns :) wasn't radioactive, at least thats what i was told. if I turn into the Hulk I was lied to :p i've seen people on tv too doing that and it just makes me want to do it more :)
teresa- thanks :) i should google that expression too. have the net and i don't use it lol
toni- good to know omeone else feels the same :) its frustrating trying to figure it all out
vic- yeah life is too short, confusing but short. I've seen people wear 2 gowns, one on the front, one on the back lol
shashi- i have to image I'm somewhere else too, they are way to small of a space :/
ann- thank you :) life long journey is right, just need to figure out which journey :)
ingrid- lol very vague ;) wisdom would be nice, the more the better (yes I'm being greedy :p)
michelle- taking all those classes sounds like a good idea. expensive one but still a good one :)
alison- thank you i feel much better today :)
Sorry you have been feeling rough, having had a horrible icky feeling bug for a week...I am beginning to wonder if it is just going round and round.
Life choice decisions are always difficult...and other people cannot help you much apart from trying to sort out what your real feeling are. Perhaps Mr Fuzzy might be able to help there as he knows you best :-)
Hope you're feeling much better now. Being sick is such a downer and so boring.
Good luck figuring out what to do with your life. I'm reaching the last stage of mine and still don't know-LOL!
Love the start of the cow- now that's grabbing the holiday season by the horns ;)
thanks chrissy :) what ever it is, it def keeps going around everywhere :/ lol he actually isn't any help :p
thanks linda, back to being sick tho :/ lol good title for it :D
Hi Jennifer!
I'm catching this post a little late... but I guess better late than never! :D
I hope you're feeling better by now, being sick stinks. :/
As for the life thing... I'm just finishing up college (for something completely unrelated to art) and now thinking to myself that I really should have stayed in uni for art. That said, I'm young enough that going back is a very viable option and, like Vic said: "...life is too short as to not give it a shot." Too true. ;)
