of course just because a requirement has been waived or is no longer required doesn't mean that one shouldn't try and meet the requirement. it just means that the pressure comes off... it means i don't have to. i'm not forced to. i work better from love than from feeling forced.
there are some things slaves won't do.
some things slaves can't do.
happy artists...
things are required to feel freer...
it is funny. i do get a sense, at times, that there's that thing you do when you are talking to two year olds 'here are your three options and you can choose any of those three options that you like' and 'you can do anything you like in your degree -- so long as you pick a concentration' and then you look at the concentration requirements and you see 2 calculus classes... but you actually can make up your own concentration if you want so you actually can do whatever you want you just need them not to look like a disorderly stack of random papers... but that's on you...
and it just makes me *want* to *voluntarily* meet the requirements of a more stringent programme. because it provides more freedom than i perhaps think is good for me. which is good. better to feel like i choose a more moderate position for myself. maybe an environment set up to get arts people complying as much as arts people will comply...
hey if people actually are / seem happy enough to be producing happy arts stuff... one could so significantly worse... i can't imagine much better. truly.
