Volleyball and what not

(Xanga # 4)
This weekend is turning out to be great!! After an extremely busy week (monday night I didnt get to bed until 6:30 AM), this weekend is going swell.
Last night I had the reception to my Senior Art Show, and so I had to give a speech about my art and whatnot. I wasnt nervous until I started speaking, and then I started sweating like mad........it was the lights, I swear Nobody asked any questions, which was kind of disturbing, but then again it was mainly college kids there. Versluis gave me a complement by saying something to the tune of "Mark has a very creative side..." which felt good:) Josh deGroot and Philip Van Dyken also spoke, and I was really impressed with Josh's inspirations for his art. I lived with James Klaver his freshmen year, a guy who toucehd a lot of people with his life before passing away from leukemia. I have a lot of respect for both of these guys.
On the side I sold 2 ceramics pieces, which feels good to know that somebody likes your work. I dont create art to sell it, and its nice to hear that people like it, but its a different kind of feeling to see that someone likes it enough to pay money for it, because nowadays we value money so much.
After the show we went to Blue Bunny in Le Mars, I got a Chocolate Raspberry as well as a HUGE banana split(which I split with Jay and Jake). The split was 9 scoops, and we didnt finish. It was a lot of fun being there, everyone was in a crazy mood and we laughed a lot.
We watched Million Dollar Baby (after experiencing the Maurice slide), which was a good movie but really sad. That movie touches on pretty much the hugest fear in my life, which I won't tell because it would spoil the movie, but if you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about. But laughter was very much present after the movie.
Today I had a volleyball tournament to coach at, which went well. We didnt do very well, but it was the first time all of our players have been there at once, and we were doing some major adjusting. Its tough to get up so early in the morning, but I like coaching.
Well thats all for today, I need to either sleep or do homework, or possibly both. Which could get messy considering I have to do either printmaking or ceramics homework
