Breathe In, Breathe Out.



In the last twenty four hours i have realized one thing. If you can manage to conquer your fear, you just might find yourself in a situation more pleasing than you ever imagined. Whether it means delivering a very important presentation, conducting an interview in a foreign language, or resolving conflict, a leap of faith will often be rewarded.

For example, the most pleasant two hours of Villa and Garden was the class which we had all been dreading for weeks. We presented a number of different types of creative projects displaying our knowledge of the principles we have studied this semester. This meant we had complete control over the course of the lecture and the level of enjoyment. Luckily, my colleagues decided to incorporate a number of wisely chosen spots for humor which made it easy to remain attentive. So i guess more important than actually being done, is the fact that something which seemed to be so dreadful ended up being rather fun... whoa. it feels weird to say that i had fun in that class.

Allora, cuesta mattina io conducted un'intervista con due of mio classmates. Siamo stati molto afraid, ma quando noi approached cuesto uomo, lui e stato molto simpatico. Ha parlato molto veloce ma abbiamo capito enough. Si chiama Sergio e abita a Firenze. 

Anyways, this morning i conducted an interview with two of my classmates. We were very afraid, but when we approached this man, he was very nice. He talked very fast, but we understood enough. His name is Sergio and He lives in Florence. 

As far as conflict is concerned, i prefer to have no part in it. That doesnt mean that i can prevent myself from being part of it. In fact, i have proven myself to be quite skilled at inserting myself into situations that are more than potentially disastrous. I am not going to go into detail but it is amazing what can happen when you are lucky enough to be dealing with mature people. You might just find that in the end you had nothing to fear.

whew, what a relief....

That doesn't mean that studio isn't going to crush my soul into a zillion little pieces.. Just kidding, im getting published bitches!
