If you didn't catch this from my last post, I am not pursuing a career in fine arts. I am however a woman, and I am pursuing a career possibly in art history, or possibly architecture which is its own type of art. So, obviously, the education and advancement of women in arts, especially in canada, is very important to me. Like broke and living on the street versus have a well-cared for life doing what I love important.
Yea, that's big.

Painting I did in High School... not significant or terribly impressive, just representing right now how I feel about the future. Slightly nervous? Like going to school without any clothes on? That sort of feeling. 
The class today was about women artists and their education... I don't really think that females have a particularly difficult time getting educated in fine arts nowadays... In fact I think that its almost reversed in that it is more difficult for men because of stereotyping in the society. That being said, being educated and being successful are two completely different things and, as I am sure is the norm with most students at this time, there is the constant thought running through my mind of:

What happens after school, what do I do when I graduate, What if no one hires me, What do I want to do, What can I do, What if I just get stuck working at Mcdonalds for the rest of my life?? Stress dude. 

It sounds silly and over-exagerative, but this literally is all I think about. So yes, it is sort of a big deal. A little bit at least.
