My Week

College has started! Here’s a bit of how my week has gone.

Monday Night: (But I switched it to Monday morning because the night class had about a thousand people in it and the morning only had 8 people) Typography Traditional. Seems like it could be an interesting class. All about type and we are apparently going to eventually make out own fonts?

Tuesday Afternoon: Illustrator I. This class should be great. I will be learning the ins and outs of Adobe Illustrator, a program I have not yet had any teaching in and don’t know much about.

Wednesday morning I had work from 5 to 9, then met Taylor Wilbur Concialdi at Chic-fil-a because I had barely seen her all break! We talked for a very long time about our lives and things to catch each other up and it was great. Thanks for the awesome conversation! I miss you Taylor!

Wednesday at 1 I had Design Fundamentals II, which will probably be interesting.

Wednesday night I went to JH ABS and I must say, I was impressed. Usually they are alll overrr the placeee, but they were actually really talkative (in a good way) and we had a great discussion about the Church. It was exciting, because they don’t usually have as good of a discussion as they did Wednesday.

Today (Thursday) I had Digital Photography for Designers from 8 am to noon, and I’m really excited about it. The instructor is awesome and seemed ridiculously knowledgeable about photography. She explained what the ISO means (as in, what the number actually means instead of just what it does in a camera. It was extremely interesting. I may post a blog about it later just because it was very interesting. But yeah, very excited about having a photo class.

Thursday night from 6 to 10 pm I have Photoshop II (aka Digital Imaging II) which I am excited about because I just found out that I have the professor from the Thursday morning class for this one too! Very exciting because they professor for Digital Imaging I was not very organized, and this professor seems to be. Also, she has an MFA in Photography. FTW!

Later!

Sine Wave

Today when I signed up for my classes, I wasn’t thinking and scheduled one on Thursday evening, which means I’ll have to miss most of Throwdown starting the week after camp, because the Art Institute starts on July 13. But I’m still excited to be starting classes soon!

Tomorrow I have an interview for a job at the Container Store that Taylor’s mom has helped me get. We’ll see how this plays out, because the job is from 5 to 10 am in the morning… and I’m definitely not a morning person. haha.

Random observation: I feel like a sine wave. Up, Down, Up, Down.

What a nerdy way to put things.

oh, and, 3.0! I heart sideways texting. Riley’s right. I’m more excited about being excited than anything else. haha.

Random things I’ve been pondering:

1. I think I focus better when someone is speaking when I have my eyes closed. I’m too much of a visual person to focus on what a person is saying when they are wearing clothing with weird patterns or have a weird body type or something. I’m always trying to figure out how a clothing pattern repeats or where lines on something would meet if they extended farther.

2. I very rarely do things accidentally. Like, I pay attention to how I dress so much (and how other people dress) that it’s more work for me to try to not think about what I’m going to wear than to just think about it.

3. I’m fairly certain I will never be able to play the guitar very well. There are too many places to put your fingers and they aren’t grouped visually or anything like on a piano.

Apparently I’m a visual freak. Well, welcome to my life.

ps – my trial version of Adobe Fireworks CS4 expired.
