When I found out I was going to have to take two more classes in order to graduate I was less than enthused. Most of you know how I feel about TJC. Luckily I was able to take easy classes like Drawing (at night) and Fundamentals of Art (online).
Those of you who’ve been in night school will understand when I say that night classes are populated by no less than 80% wacko’s. ESPECIALLY art classes, and I would know because almost my entire art degree was completed through night classes. I don’t know what that says about me, but that’s for another post.
In my current drawing class we have an incredible cast of oddities. Most of them immature, awkward and self-centered, able to put even Scary Gary from my design classes to shame! But really, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am WAY TOO entertained by them all. I mean, where else can I hear someone call a prop cow skull a “dinosaur head” or meet someone who thinks the Catholic Sign of the Cross is a secret handshake? I’ll probably never meet another person who has claimed to lose 300 lbs in one year or “stab a boar with his luckily upturned dagger as it lunged toward him”.
Once my time at TJC is over, I’ll probably never overhear two people discuss how cool squirrels are for 20+ minutes. These people are one in a million. Crazy and hilarious.
All I have to say to this is thank you. Thank you TJC, for providing me with a glimpse inside the mind of 19-year-old, East Texas Art Students.
I’ll never forget it.
