#//juri speaks #i don't have 4+ upper level art history research classes or a studio portfolio or mastery of a non-english research language #so. going to uh... keep looking i suppose #and you may be wondering ''juri aren't you about to graduate? why are you looking at other programs?'' #and the answer dear reader is bc i've realized i actually want to specialize in something i have not gotten experience in #bc the archives prof at my school sucked shit so i didn't get the certs and i talked myself out of a special collections practicum #bc i didn't have even the tiniest bit of experience in archives/special collections save for dropping out of a class a week in #anyway. current actual plan is 1) graduate; 2) full time job; 3) save money; and #4) take advantage of working at a university to take other classes for free #hopefully my boss will let me take the undergrad asl classes #and i can take grad library/archive classes at a different university i think #and who knows maybe i'll actually have my career figured out before i'm 40
