having an art show

well, today, the art teachers at spartan high cancelleed the individual senior art shows
i am extremely miffed

well, beyond miffed, i was trying to make a joke there, because i dont know what else to do, i want to be apathetic and cry at the same time

they decided to have one large art show with three pieces of each artit's work in it
if there are about six 3-d senior art students
and there are seven 2-d senior art students

(6 x 3) + (7 x 3) = 39

thats about 39 piececs crowded into the one tiny gallery at spartan high meant to hold about 24 pieces
who is going to be able to focus on any one artist?

now, the reasoning behind this cancellation is perfectly understandable-- nobody has finished enough pieces to hold their own individual show
i can accept that, it makes sense enough
there is, however, one small issue with that
i have enough pieces to have my own show
i worked hard all year towards the goal of my senior show
i worried more about that than i worried about the ap exam

you see, the show was a final way to prove to my mother that i deserved to go to art school, to prove that art is what i really love,
an art show with MY name on it, with all MY work in it i think would make her proud

it would be more than winning a prize,
it would be more than getting good grades
it would be more than being responsible, having a job
i would have finally accomplished something that i could be proud of with my family
