curtains fall

Some studies for drapery, texture and printing I made in my first year of college.
This was a sickening and time consuming project, but once I got started it kept me going. We had to make many more studies but we fooled our professor and made him believe we only had a few. I think I worked a lot on these compositions, just because my colleagues were always willing to spend more time over tea then over the papers...

...and every time I get to talk about college I get this nostalgia and I think I'm too attached to the past. Somebody told me yesterday that maybe I should think more positive, see the bright side in everything. And that's a bit hard for me, because I'm too negative sometimes and a little more emotional but at the same time realistic. So I think that from now on, when I get a bad news I'll control my feelings and just analyse the situation, find a good part in everything. I need it. Sometimes I tell myself that maybe it's too late and I'm too old to change something in my personality or actions. But then again, when is it too late?
