feeling optimistic

I'm feeling better about my situation now. I'm working on applications and portfolios for 10 shows and calls to artists. They are all this year. So that means I could potentially make some money and also have something to occupy my time. I'm also looking into The Edmond Fine Arts Institute for possible jobs next week. If that has no results I'm thinking of looking at some local framing shops for openings. Things are looking up. I just need to stay focused and on track.
