I think pursuing shit like code and khan academy is super awesome, it keeps your brain active when you don't have something like school to fill the gap. For me artistic expression helps me more on the emotional side even though right now that's just colored pencil sketches as working on getting a nice handstyle and lettering down for graffiti, it's just a nice way to fill time productively that isn't as mentally involved as learning to code or learning more about a scientific field. On contributing slmething about my life to pubski, I start a bead making class at the local community art organization in December, it's nothing complicated, I've watched videos in it and t seems to be mostly about smooth hand movement but it's going to be a great introduction into the kind glass work I want to do and will give me a bit of experience so I'm not completely green when I approach the few glass workers I know by association about some sort of apprenticeship. What I'm saying is I'm ma stoked on it.hopefully it'll be the first step in pursuing what I'm trying to do with myself. Edit: to add the disclaimer that I've been drinking whiskey with some friends which leaves me prone to rambling.
