Descarte

As for today's reading, I really enjoyed the personal nature of it. It was interesting to sort of imagine him sitting next to me telling me these stories and experiences. Some of the topics he touches on I would agree with. The whole initial first part about good sense and how people have it, or don't and how they just need to use it more. This is what separates us from animals, so don't be an animal and use your good sense brain. I also agree with him when he talks about researching history and it seeming like traveling. There are people that become so focused and engulfed in their work, that they loose touch with their friends, family and the world in general. Their sense of time and priorities become blurry and unfocused and it's important to keep a nice balance. This actually makes me think about my studio work actually. Being here all day Monday-Monday, practically 10 to 20 hours a day. It's ridiculous and tough to know what's going on around the community and the world without loosing focus on design and projects that need to be finished the next class period. Friends outside of art school just don't understand sometimes...ha
