gosh..i don’t know where time goes…..was it really march the last time i posted??!! it only seems that it’s been weeks….i always have the best intentions in blogging, but procrastination obviously gets the best of me…..”yes, i really must update my blog….but i’ll do it after lunch…” lunch becomes tomorrow, tomorrow becomes next week, and then all of a sudden it’s been 5 months!
I wish i had 5 months worth of updates to give you, but mostly i’ve been reading my textbooks and doing coursework….but i guess that in this time i’ve decided to stick with the social sciences as i do quite enjoy them, even if i don’t like writing all the essays…so instead of going into teaching, i’m going to do a psychology degree….and then when i’m finished, I’m going to combine it with my art studies and perhaps do a masters degree in art therapy…long term planning here…..i always seem to be doing long term planning…i wonder if it’s not just another way of procrastinating….and probably when the time gets nearer, i will have new ideas and new goals, and so i will change directions again find some new thing….the funny thing is that when i first started university clear back in 1989, i started out doing a psychology degree….but then i was impatient and didn’t really want to spend 10 more years in school……but how long have i been in higher education now?? off and on for 18 years near enough…had i just stuck with psychology in the first place, i’d be working as one by now…but i suppose i wouldn’t have all my life experiences and i wouldn’t have studied art in the first place, so i’d probably be doing some other branch of psych in the first place..
i haven’t even had time to do artwork lately…..which is ok i suppose, since i’ve not been feeling very artistic…but i suppose that’s probably to do with the fact that i don’t have time…so it’s neither here nor there…but i’m nearly done with this course…2 more months, 2 more essays…and then i’ve got some free time to wind down before i start my next set of courses…
I have, however, bought myself a new 100mm f2.8 macro lens, and i am in love with it! now i just need a holiday so that i can go out and use it! (i always seem to need a holiday!)
anyways, i’ve opened a flickr account a while back and so if you want to see some of my new photos, you can do so by clicking on the photo below.

Wow, you sound so busy. Psychology is a fascinating subject… yeah, you’re right! Maybe if you had stuck with it, you’d be working by now, but you probably learned a lot more from taking a long way to psychology.
Anyway, good for you for studying hard and everything!
Yay! An update. hehe Funny that you are switching into psychology. I am switching out of it myself. *shrug* I’m so completely in flux about what to do next. YIKES! The funnier part is that at one point I contemplated photography but then wondered what I could do with it. *blink* You might have more ideas on that than I would. hehe In any case, it’s great to see that you are still alive and well, albeit busy and with your nose in a book… or an essay.
I wish you the best of success in finding a path that calls to you.

Tracy I undertand you have no time . Going from goal to goal is good , you dont risk to be bored and you give sense to your life .
The idea of art and psychotherapy is a good one . I encourage you .
Love

*yay* for new lenses! i’ll have to visit you on flickr…though i rarely post there. when will there eer be enough time to take photos and to actually post them!?
Tracy, I can’t believe I found you clicking from blog to blog. It’s Lizzie from DA. (I call myself Liz here.) You haven’t updated your gallery there either. I’m going to add you to my blogroll, I hope you don’t mind. And, remember that story I told you about (inspired by your Magritte bird)? I’ve put it on hold but I’m going to finish that. I hope I can still use your work when I do post it on my other wordpress blog (http://soul5spiral.wordspress.com/) Take care, Tracy!

Even though this post is almost 3 week old it was so good to catch up with what you are doing. Remember … there is a reason and a season to everything. I think you are on the exact path you are supposed to be. I love the flickr site and when I have more time I will check out all the pics. The pic here is beautiful. Love the composition and the color of green it is. But then again… I love all your work. I too have not had much time for my photography and I miss it so much. It really is an extended piece of who I am. Maybe that is why I feel the way I do right now. Hummmm. Good luck with the rest of your course. {{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}}}} I miss you sis and love you even more.
You must be very close to the end of the term now. I hope it has gone well for you.
That’s an interesting photo. I never see the potential for pictures like that. I guess that is the difference between an artist and an amateur photographer.
Hi, long time no visit.
Love the photo.
Just stopping by to say hi. Thanks for commenting in my pulse.
I hope you are well Tracy .
Love

Glad to have the news , Tracy . All is right ( except for the flu ) .
Fortunatly in a few weeks you will get some respite .
New from my family ? Not excellent : my daughter in law Marina is not so good and even Janine my wife had surgery for brest cancer last October , but I don’ t speak much of that in my blog . People have worries enough on their own .
Love
