the spirit.

Time is going by too quickly if you ask me. I tried desperately to go to sleep early tonight since I've been feeling under the weather for about... oh 3 weeks (COUGH!) and a thousand thoughts were going through my mind, mostly all related to fun dental things. Did I sort through all of my papers for my rotation tomorrow? did I finish all of my journal entries? do I have all of my things in the car that I need for tomorrow? should I have stayed up later to study? will I remember everything from oral path today? can I make it through another week of clinic with another 5 quizzes next week plus tutoring others? and so on... and so on... and so on... 

I have been so wrapped up lately in everything surrounding school and attempting to excel in the field, that I've completely neglected my life. I've neglected friends. (Sorry friends, I promise to be fun again.) I've neglected my fun little art blog. And I've neglected writing. (HA. I should clarify, I've neglected writing about art, I've written TONS of papers, some of which were friggin' unnecessary to write.) Needless to say, I kinda lost the spirit. My spirit. That made me sad.

So instead of going to bed depressed, I decided to get up and write a little damnit. And craft a little, damnit! Because why not? As much as I love school right now, I need to distance myself both mentally and physically. So I'm going to aim to make one night a week my craft night.

Tonight's project? 
Modifying a glitter painting I did a while back with a cast of my teeth from Perio Lab.  OK. I said I would try to distance myself. I'M TRYING, OK?! Back off mang. It's a work in progress. I'm not sure where it's going, but it's better than going nowhere.
















In the meantime, enjoy this note from my dad to the tooth fairy from when I was a kid. I'm not sure which tooth was my lucky tooth. We may never know.
