Art Modeling Conclusion

I feel as though I have overlooked mentioning a very important aspect of my employment history, that being art modeling.

Let me just say, hands down, that art modeling is probably one of the most excruciatingly painful student jobs on campus. (though it is the highest paying and most skill-less and mindless)

At 8am, two days a week, just imagine yourself sitting in an awkward position for an hour straight.

Leaning on the elbows might be the most painful pose. Somehow all of the blood leaves that joint and you can actually feel something in that funny bone.

Or maybe even worse, sitting cross-legged. Not sure if it's the blood rushing back or it's the fact that your poor ankles are pressed onto a hard wooden surface without moving. Basically, I just need to inhale Calcium and D3.

But maybe the most terrible feeling is the realization, after an hour of some horrid pose, that no one was actually drawing you in the first place. That might be the worst. Because you've been maintaining a certain pose that artists have instructed you to keep, and then they just left you out in the cold. Your efforts have been in vain, perhaps?

I am employed, and I was able to catch up on the morning news, read a few short stories, study for my quizzes, and take care of applications, so I wouldn't say that it was boring.

I also enjoyed studying the people studying me and seeing their finished product. Am I really that awkward looking in real life? Is my face really that unattractively long?

And to those whose final product never even really looked like me, I assume you were drawing my kindred spirit or my cousin?

Anyways, I hear art modeling in the nude is a pretty high-paying job.

Screw grad school, I've found my future career. And even lifelong, because the demand for the detail in wrinkles is pretty high.
