I am ready to NOT have a cold any more...

[vandy]

It is day 9 of the cold from hell.... Ick... Day 2 was the worst. Days 3 & 4 were still pretty icky. And now it just keeps hanging on... :-P Today I finally resumed exercise. More specifically I resumed the couch to 5k running program, from which I have been on hiatus during the frikkin' cold. I had to take a couple coughing breaks and blow my nose a lot, but I did the program, didn't throw up, and didn't kill the dog. And I feel better about having done *something*.

In other news, I am looking at MFA programs in Sculpture and Glass again. I am also looking at certificate programs in welding and machine shop stuff (that would be a technical term, "machine shop stuff"...). I am not sure if I am going to pursue either option, but I am thinking about them.

Next week is the Glass Art Society conference, here in Portland. The glass blowing demonstraitions are all being held at the shop where I am taking classes, so everyone is running around crazily painting, cleaning, building ramps and moving shelves. I am looking forward to the various activities and demos. So who else will be there?

Ooh, tell me more about the Glass Art Society conference... where do I go and when?

It is this Thursday - Saturday. Here is a link: http://www.glassart.org/portland.html
Sadly, to go you have to join the Glass Arts Society. Which isn't *that* expensive, but is still a membership fee, plus a hefty fee for the conference (I think it was $200 something for the whole thing, or their are day rates).

Oh, so a lot of the galleries in town are having special shows related to the conference, which may be worth going to even if you don't go to the conference. I think their are links from the site... but I am too lazy to go look. :-)
