I did something this weekend that I have not done in what seems like forever. I got out and took some photos. I also went to an art festival that was pretty amazing. At the end of the day, I realized how I have been so incredibly bombarded with school work since I started this
online MBA program. One of the costs of that program is little to no free time to do the things I like to do. Since we have two weeks between classes right now, I plan on taking full advantage of the opportunity.
Via Colori is a street-art festival in Houston. The festival showcases more than 175 artists who create original masterpieces on the street in a pastel medium. A good time was had by all. And I got some great pictures.
Being in downtown Houston, I was able to get some good pictures of a few of the buildings down there. I was raised in Houston, but never had the opportunity to go downtown for the purpose of taking pictures.
Finally, my friend’s band, The Flying Fish Sailors played a set at the Via Colori Festival. The band plays Celtic/Folk music and has developed a large cult following over the years. I also got some great photos of that event.
Today is the final day of my 4-day weekend that I usually take after every class. This one was the most productive one that I’ve had in a while. I know that in a handful of days I will get back into the rat race with
International Business. I think that with the workload of the last couple of classes I have lost my “balance” in some respects. I think it’s important to maintain a balance between school and other outside activities. You can’t cheat one for the benefit of the other. So I’ll be working on that more in the future.
