Gas Shortage anyone??

Hey I was just wondering is any one else experienceing a gas shortage???

I had to drive through 3 towns looking for gas today. I arrived at one gas station just as they ran out. The woman in front of me had filled up her truck and some gas cans. I asked for a little gas to help me get to the next town to hunt for more. I was on fumes. She was really nice and gave me some. Thank heavens for human kindness. In all I think I went through 3 towns and 11 gas stations before I found gas. When I did find it I could only get premium. I was just wondering if y'all are going through the same thing.

Re: Email Kabba about replacing Danielle Boutet

I am copying the relevant portions of a response I have had from Bonnie Schock regarding Danielle's resignation. Once I speak with Kabba this afternoon, I'll post again. Please feel free to forward to other MFAIA students. Cheers to you all. April

From Bonnie: "Thank you for your message regarding student concerns and questions surrounding Danielle’s departure as the MFAIA Program Director. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner; I’ve been busy with non-Goddard work this weekend.

I understand that Kabba’s announcement of Danielle’s departure may be a source of some anxiety for students, and I appreciate you coming to me to voice those concerns on behalf of students. I imagine that your scheduled conversation with Kabba this afternoon will help to answer some of your questions. As Kabba noted in his announcement, initial meetings are still underway and no decisions have yet been made with regard to leadership transition. This will be a considered process, and it is still very early as the news of Danielle’s departure is recent. So, what I can tell you is not particularly substantive, but may provide you with a sense of the current status. Kabba, Danielle, Pam Kinniburgh (of Human Resources) and I have spoken to discuss the immediate needs of the program. A meeting is currently being set up with Kabba, myself and the full MFAIA faculty. Due to pressing demands on Kabba’s time associated with this weekend’s Board of Directors m!
eeting,
the faculty will meet with him no sooner than mid-late this week. We will be in touch with students with additional information on the shape and timeline of the process, including student involvement, as soon as possible. I look forward to continuing to work with all in the MFAIA community during the coming leadership transition and beyond."

Danielle Boutet?

Did you guys see that Danielle Boutet resigned?!
I wonder if its related to all of the sour faces we saw after all of the faculty meetings...

She Lives!!



Hi Everyone,

The invitation to join got lost in my spam mail and I just came across it. I am sooo glad to be here!
Here are pics of two sculptures I completed for this packet: "Stargazer 1-9-5-6" and "Capricorn Fertility Goddess".While doing Packet 1, had a panic attack...so much to do...so little time. Just have Packet 2 to do before I head off into Practicum Land. Let the Force be with me! Head to Tampa tomorrow to do a program with a non-profit and networking through Monday. Will check back in then.

No drawings this time but it does have my beefy practicum proposal and a new story a long with discussion of a few books.

Hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to see the rest of Chelsea's bags!
