The following section is another note to Jon. it was such a busy 2 weeks, and they just all ran together.
I won't bother telling you about the absolutely boring weekend I had, the only break in the boredom was saturday night for a couple of hours I got a chance to meet a few new people at a friends game night that she was throwing a few floors down, in her dorm room...I almost forgot and consequently, was an hour or so late, I was watching "Save The Last Dance" in french, I know I know its pathetic, but in my defence, I was trying to brush up on my language comprehension. Ohh, tomorrow night the TA I work with is supposed to be bringing me some Korean movies! I'm so super excited!
And today, I had an exciting class on gothic revival architecture pertaining to residential and churches, it went by much quicker than normal! yea! we got out rather early. I like the class but I'm slightly worried that I'm missing something, not sure what though. oh, well I'm sure I'll figure it out soon, I've got a test in 2 weeks.
I've been putting off my Drawings for fashion class all weekend and they are due wednesday so I sould start now, because I'm sure I'll have to do them more than once to get them right.
-----------------------------------------
Goodness Jon, the beginning of the week was so boring and the middle was so busy I could barely think and some of that seeped into my normally smooth and easy end of the week.
For one thing, don’t ever try to render fashion illustrations for 2-3 hour straight, the night before they are due, with Prismacolor markers loaded with alcohol based binders in them. I was up really late drawing and then rendering with markers, in a dorm room where ventilation is not exceptional, on top of the fact that all the lights are out except one and that particular track light is pointed away from my desk for some reason. The next day wasn’t too bad, I brought in the 6 fabric swatches that I went halfway across the city to get, and then we got to draw the patterns in the fabric and color them in with our markers and colored pencils. Then after we all got back from lunch we were showed some great illustrations tacked up on mat boards with the fabrics that they used and then told that we were going to do the exact same thing. 5 complete designs using our 6 fabrics, 3 swatches per outfit with all of the fabrics being used in the designs and then we were supposed to make our own board to display them on along with little pieces of fabric on the side, to show what we are using in the designs. I was a bit overwhelmed, but if I keep on track, I should be able to get it done before Wednesday.
Just to let you know, the end of the week wasn't super smooth, like I thought it would be. lets just say, I had two RA interviews and was waylaid in between and after both of them, partly my own fault, I must admit. plus I had to go in on a Sunday, and don't get me started on the fact that I should have been doing homework and instead I was stuck sitting next to a guy at school in the computer lab making sure he didn't have a breakdown finishing his project, that is due tomorrow at 9am.
Why is it I seem to get sucked into helping other people instead of just breaking away and getting my own stuff done? I guess its because I can't leave until I'm satisfied that they have everything under control, mentally as well as with the problem too. I don't know. It was a crazy day.
