my main job (art gallery assistant) I work 9 hours per day on average, some days more (like on opening nights, the day goes on till 1 am), Monday to Friday. That makes a 45 hour week. I also sing in bars, currently every Friday and Saturday night, and that's about 3 to 4 hours each night, so add on 8 hours. Come April I expect to be doing that about 5 nights a week until September. I am currently taking my masters and though I have finished classes, I am trying to write my dissertation now, so I put some hours a week towards that. I also work as an artist so the rest of my free time goes towards my art work.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
