Smith Hall #2

Well, I was wrong. I did not get most of it done last night, so once again I am in here for the long haul. Ooh fun. At least Jason is here tonight so I'm not by myself. Right now I'm just waiting on fixative to dry.

Smith Hall

Tonight I am spending most of the night in Smith Hall working on a drawing project that is due on Thursday. I really don't want to be here, but hey, that's what I get for putting it off until the last minute right? I hope to get most of it done tonight so that I won't really have to come back tomorrow night.

Yay

I am very happy because my 3d project (kites) was supposed to be due on Wednesday, but now it isn't due until Monday! This makes me very happy because now I have another weekend to work on it. Very good. I also helped Brittany print out a bunch of her envelopes to mail out letters. It took forever to figure out, but once I did, it was easy. Cool.

Library

Tonight I am in the library working on several different things, but basically I am bored out of my mind. I have no idea how long I will be here.

CRU on a Wednesday

Tonight I had to help Brittany with printing some envelopes because she has to mail out a bunch of letters in order to get support to go to Daytona over the summer. I am excited about her going there over the summer for a number of obvious reasons. First of all I will be able to go and see her because she will be in Florida, and secondly because she will be able to really get out there and make an impact for God. After printing the envelopes, we went to an orchestra concert which was pretty enjoyable. It went a little later than it was supposed to, so we were late to CRU which was on Wed. instead of Thurs. this week. After CRU we went to latenight where I had some good conversations with my friend Aaron. After packin' up there, we decided to go to Husson's pizza where the girls got some pizza. That was pretty much it. I am happy that I got to spend a lot of time with Brittany tho, because I am really going to miss her when we leave for summer break.

I hate the internet

I find it very frustrating that I rarely find the images on the internet that I am looking for. Today I was just trying to find some simple popular science covers and it was almost impossible. OK OK. I know I should have a hard copy of the magazine and I am pretty sure I do, but I didn't have it in class so it just wasn't working out. Oh well. I will have it next time.

This weekend

I had an amazing weekend. A group of friends of mine and I went to a weekend retreat thing at Liberty Uni. where we got to go to a concert that had Family Force Five, Thousand Foot Crutch, Building 429, and Toby Mac. I am not normally a concert person, but this was pretty good. I had some really good conversations with Brittany too. Some deep ones. I like those.

Friday the 13th

So, today is Friday the 13th. I am not superstitious or anything, but I thought I should make note of it. I know the history behind it, and I suppose it is a day we should remember, but I do not think people should be afraid of this day. I say that because I know that some people are terrified of it, and it saddens me.

Project 10

Here's my self portrait:

Easter

Of course the title of this post is to be called "Easter." I mean what else could I call it? I guess I could call it the day of my Savior's ultimate victory over sin, but hey, who would read all that? I had a good morning. I really liked how my pastor decided not to do the traditional easter messege, but instead talked about a lot of other things instead. They all related to death which makes sense. Other than that I really didn't do much other than working on my self portrait project. I finished it tho.

Assessment Day

I am a little perturbed that the assessment day was designed for early birds. I did not get out of bed until 11am and by then most of the events were already over. I only got to take one survey which means I will have very little chance at winning anything. Bah!

April Fools day!

Yay, today is April Fool's day! Or is it? Mwhahahah! I love it. Today I pranked several people. I told a couple of people that I was engaged to Brittany and they fell for it! LOL. Ahh. I'm happy now.

Stapling- revisited

The video portion of the stapling project went over well. Everybody laughed when they heard the ridiculous noise that the staples made at high speed. I think the project as a whole went over well. I hope I get an A. I really did put a lot of work into it.

Tues 27th

Well I brought my stapling project to class today, but I didn't present because she said that she would rather wait until I have the video portion done. I decided to show them at the end of class anyways. They seemed to like it.

Spring Break is over :(

Well, I'm back in my dorm now, and I have to say, I will definitely miss that side of my family because I know I probably won't see them for a while. I really do need to send them a thank you card. My Aunt Kris sent me back with a whole box of food and beverages because she knows I'm poor. Sweet.

Sat - Spring Break

Ok I think I have the stapling project to a point that I am happy with. I am a little upset because I forgot that I was supposed to be recording this from the very beginning, but I forgot so I only started half way, and then my battery on the camera died and I forgot the charger. It all went bad. At least I got some footage.

Thur - Spring Break

So today and last night I was working on my stapling project a lot and it really is taking a long time. I hope I can finish it. I don't want to stay up too late working on it because My grandparents are trying to sleep, otherwise I would just stay up all night and get in as much work as I can. I will just have to get as much as I can done tomorrow and Sat. because Sun. I will not be able to work on it. It's due Tues., so maybe I can work on it Monday too. We'll see.

Tuesday

Today is mine and Brittany's anniversary!!! Two months. This makes me happy. I should probably call Brittany. Anyways, I have to work on my drawing project. I think it should be pretty cool. My Grandpap has some wood and staplers that he said I could use for the project. It's a good thing I came here this week or this project may not have gotten done back home. I should be able to get tit done here tho. We'll see.

Sunday

So I am here now at my grandparents house and I have to say that I couldn't be happier. I am really excited about getting to spend time with them on my own schedule. I won't have to worry about my family telling me what we're doing and when, I can just do stuff with them when I can.

Spring Break starts NOW

Today i had to pack all of my stuff and get ready to go to my Grandparent's house for Spring break. I am excited about going to their house for spring break. I never get to see this part of my family. It will be a long drive, about 5 hours long, but I should be good for it because I will have my laptop and some cartoons to watch.

Huh?

Well, thats strange. I just uploaded those images and if you look at the first one, the colors are all wrong. They aren't inverted, but they are all wrong. How do you explain that? Well here's what its supposed to look like:

Oh

I forgot to put the jpgs of project 9 up, so here they are.

Finals.

Well, I have to say that I am glad that all of my classes are done until after spring break now. I was gettin pretty messed up in my sleep schedule for a while there. It was bad. I do not like staying up until 5 in the morning to study for a test. Eh. Well, off to mount some of my pieces to that stupid matboard that cost me out the rear to buy.

CRU... again...... and Wii

Well CRU was good again tonight. I enoyed a nice evening with my GF before spring break so I'm happy. OH! I FINALLY got to play the Wii. It was amazing. I want one now.

Matboard

I went to Michael's today to get some matboard to mount Project 9 and it was RIDICULOUSLY expensive. I was not happy. I am not looking forward to this particular part of being a graphic designer. I feel like my future looks like a very financially poor one. It makes me sad. Oh well, I'll get over it.

Project 9: an update

Well, I'm not really sure I like this project. I guess its the abstract thing. I never did like abstract. It seems like this project is more aboout the matting process than the actual artwork. I don't know. I guess that makes sense. I have no idea when I'm going to be able to get to the store, get matboard, and mount these things. I have no car. And they're due the day after we get back, so it's really pushing dates for me. I don't know. I guess I'll ask Jimmy if he can take me.

3/12/07

Eck. I don't know what to write about today. I hate mondays. They are evil. I'm just glad I don't have my art history class anymore or I would REALLY hate today. I want to go back to bed.

Sunday

Hmm. I have come to the conclusion that I usually don't post on Sundays. heh. no post on Sundays. thats funny. In case all you readers don't understand why that's funny to me, it's a reference to Harry Potter. Anyways. I had to miss Church today, which was mind of dissapointing, because I HAD to sleep in. I think I stayed up until 7 or 8 in the morning working on a sculpture for my 3d class. My head still hurts from doing that. It was not a pleasurable experience.

Warehouse

It's looking like I will be spending the majority of my night in the art warehouse. I have this project for 3d that is due on monday and let's just say that I am not at a "finished" point. I'm not looking forward to it but it shouldn't be too bad.

Project 8

Today I finished my Project 8. I am a little dissapointed that I had to make it so dark, but it's not permanent so I am going to go back kand change it so it's not so dark.

Project 8: soon to be done.

I am unsure about how I am going to end up finishing this piece. It just seems off. I don't know. I'll figure it out. Whatever the case, I'm glad I chose a rhino. I just like rhinos. I wanted to do it as a miniature in the lab scene, but the focus was just too off. See:

Tuesday

I cant believe it's already almost March. I feel somewhat dead right now. Not sure why. Hope to feel better. I'll keep you updated.

http://www.morguefile.com

Well I have no idea what I am going to post about. I know! I found this pretty sweet image archive site that is free and has lots of good images. It is http://www.morguefile.com. You should go and try it out. Be sure to click on the archive link. I am going to add this site to my list of websites.

The dubious Thursday

Tonight we did figure drawing and I went to CRU afterwards, but all in all, it was a fairly simple night. I liked the figure drawing class because I think I did well. I can not be sure because I find it hard to judge my own work, but I think it was above average. I have not shown my girlfriend yet, but I will eventually. She likes it when I show her what I do, and I like being appreciated. I also saw her get angry with her family tonight, but that is another story. I think her family should chill out sometimes. Oh well.

Dinner, very good

Tonight I took my girlfriend out to dinner at Jim's spaghetti house. I had never been before, and found that it was very good. Very tasty. I liked it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who like spaghetti. Good.

Project 7

I HAVE DONE IT!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Well, I finished the project at least. It seems once again that I have gotten lackadaisical with this blog and have yet again forgotten to regularly post. That being said, HERE! (In a booming voice) "I GIVE YOU... the BLOG!!!"

DOH!

Well, I didn't really get much of anything done today. It was very disappointing. I feel that it was a waste of a day.

Robot

Today I hope to be able to work on my 3d project that is due on monday. We shall see how it goes. I really don't like the fact that I have spent close to $50 on this project. I don't know, maybe it just seems that way. It may not actually be. Anyways I will post again later tonight to see if i got any work done.

Today was kind of nerve racking, but thats another story and a litte too complicated to put on here. If you must know, I had to deal with an unpleasantry with my girlfriend that I had not been looking forward to. We are still together tho, so once agian all is well.

Ouch

Tonight I went to the movies with Brittany and watched a very odd movie called "Don't Tell." I didn't really like it. But actually before the movies I was so sick, I didn't get out of bed. It was bad. I didn't even go to my classes today. I feel a little better now tho.

Here is my project 6

Well here are my images from project 6.

Weekend retreat

Well the reason i didnt post much over the weekend is simple. I was in Gattlingburg Tenn. with no access to a computer. I do have to say that it was an amazing weekend. I quite enjoyed it. I am a little upset right now that I have to drop one of my classes tho. I didn't want to have to, but it is necessary to be able to keep a 3.6 GPA this semester. Which reminds me that I have to email somebody.

Blah

I cant seem to get these projects done fast enough. Its kind of frustrating. Thats all I have to say.

Classes

Well I'm very happy that my drawing class was canceled last night, and I was even more excited when I found out that my morning classes were canceled today! Woot! Now I can go to lunch at a normal time.

Oh and about yesterday...

Yesterday was Brittany's birthday which is why I did not post yesterday. I had no time (it being the Superbowl as well). It was a very busy day, but it was good. I am very happy that I am dating Brittany. She's amazing.

High

I feel like I am high after spraying one of my drawing with a fixative. I doubt I am because I wasnt exposed to it very long, but it is an interesting thought. (I don't get high.) I am a little worried that working on the projects for this class in an overlapping way might overload me. I really would like to finish one before i start on the next one. Oh well.

Project 5

Well here it is. This project was about adjusting image sizes and I decided to do my motif on old automobile ads.

Hmmm

So.. Today is my dad's birthday and tomorrow is my girlfriend's birthday. Well, this should be an interesting weekend. Weird, the wind is blowing so hard it is whistling outside my window. It's kind of amusing. Oh crap. I need to post my project images.

Project 4

So this is a post on a recent project that I did in one of my classes. Break out.

Persecution

So, tonight i went through some troubles. it was a long night for me. After spending a fairly decent evening with my girlfriend I come back to my dorm only to be hounded about my beliefs in God. Now, I love these people, but it is really frustrating to talk to people about things they can't seems to apply common sense towards. I hate all this "what about evolution" crap and "science proves it", well guess what, science proves creation too! Its called creation science, and if you're gonna argue your points on evolution do your homework first and actually look at the other side of the freaking arguement. I have done my research. I know about evolution. For Pete's sake you HAVE to learn it in highschool, but NOBODY ever looks at the science behind creation. And when they do, they just take what they hear from other evolutionists and say something like "Oh thats just a load of crap" Well, same to you evolutionists! You want a valid arguement do the research yourself and make your own judgements.

AHHHHHH!

OK, back to the blog. Well apparently I lreally let this one out of my hands. I managed to not only have not been posting on here everyday like i should have been, but now i seem to have missed assignment due dates and I am not sure if I can still submit such assignment. It scares me to think that I am not doing so good in the ONE class that I thought I would be really good at. I dont hate the class. I want it to work. I just seem to run out of time to submit the assignments at the end of clss and then POOF I cant do it anymore. Its very frustrating.

So. . .my very first blog. . .what to do

So I've never done this before. I hate journals so I'm hoping that this will be easier than a journal. I have a myspace, but I only use it for messaging and keeping in touch with old friends, so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to use this. Hmmm. My outlet to the world I suppose. This is where all of you interesting people get to pick my brain. Please feel free to message me or leave a comment. After all, I do need inspiration for what I should be talking about... Mwah!
