I'm back!
Sorry I didn't get to post for the past few days, I have so much to catch up on... I think I have to start with Wednesday night! So English went fine, I didn't knit, I was sleepy. After class, I went to Morgan's room and hung out with her until about 1 in the morning because I didn't have class the next day. Her friend Will came in for a while, a seriously, he is one of the funniest kids I've ever met. Max, Morgan's roommate, said you can only take so much of him, because he's this crazy hyper kid who's just always saying ridiculous stuff. But I think it's funny, and it's nice to have some one to make me laugh just because every once in a while!
So Thursday I think I got up at around 12 and then I showered and got stuff together to do laundry with Max. (p.s. this isn't the same Max I mentioned in a previous entry. ) I wandered down to her room and we went and did laundry. It was fun, I mean, it was laundry, but I was knitting and we were talking and I realized that she's super cool and I like hanging out with her. She's funny too, but not in the way Will is, just like we can make each other laugh, yea? So then me her and Caitlyn went to Target at around 4:30 and that was good fun, because it was target and because I got off campus (silent victories!) and because I enjoy both Max and Caitlyn. I got 2 things: food and soaps. Oh, and leggings so I can wear skirts when it's a bit cold out. They would have been awesome, but they're too long a bit, which makes me sad, so I'll have to come up with a way to fix that... And I got tea and it had five different kinds and it's super tasty and it makes me happy to try all the kinds! Then what did I do Thursday night? I can't remember. Oh I guess I just stayed in Caitlyn's room and watched Grey's Anatomy because she's obsessed with that show and owns the previous seasons. And I knitted a whole bunch.
Friday, now to the good part! I'm summarizing all of this quite a bit because I can't really remember the details from Thursday, but Friday was yesterday, so I should be okay. So I had Photography and we had our first critique. I put up 10 pictures out of maybe 20 that I printed and first we looked at some slides of really really old pictures (which we do sometimes) and then we just sorta went around and talked about what we liked in people's pictures. It was really informal and all together not extremely helpful I think, but it was find for me because my teacher loved me work! He said I have very good printing skills and that I did a really good job editing out which photos were actually worth putting up. And my photos are so neat! I dunno, there was more to it because I was so excited yesterday, but that's all I can remember. Some other people had some nice work though, but mostly I liked a few pictures but not all of them. I enjoy mine though, and I'm not saying I'm better than any one else at all. But it seemed like almost everyone came in knowing what they were doing, when really, some of the kids prints were too dark or not so interesting which reassures me that I am good at this stuff and choosing this major was an excellent idea! The fact that my professor really liked my work, like A LOT, really made me feel better and excited and all that jazz because I can do it and I can do it well! I was taught well though, Kirstyn and Sean were excellent teachers, and I know that's why I can print so well so easily. The picture part is just my own style, and I like it! Unfortunately, I can’t post the pictures right now because Caitlyn’s not around and I use her digital camera to take the pictures I post. So sorry about that! I’ll post them as soon as I can.
So then I had Art History and it was Greek Art and I was sleepy. Nothing important to say about that… Then me and Courtney went to K and M, the photo supply store in China Town in Manhattan, to get paper because he said we should start printing on 11 by 14 inch paper so hat we can see more detail. The problem with that is that it's twice as expensive to use an 11 by 14 sheet than an 8 by 10! So we both got some and I got some more 8 by 10 as well as some clear sheets to hold my prints, but we both decided that just for the critiques, we're going to use 8 by 10, and for then portfolio at the end of the semester once we've chosen which prints are the AMAZING ones, we'll re-print them on 11 by 14. I'll have to ask him about that and I hope he doesn't make me do 11 by 14 because no one can really afford that! Photography is just about the most expensive major. Just to reiterate, the way my class works is we print any we deem interesting by looking at the contact sheet. We print them well enough, but don't worry about getting them exactly perfect, because they're just work prints. Then we weed out through our own selection and through the critiques the ones that are actually interesting. Then I presume, at the end of the semester we weed through those to find the ultimate pictures, the very best ones we have. So, I don't want to print a work print on 11 by 14 paper that costs a dollar a sheet!
So then, we came home, and I forgot to say I got another package from Grama! It had all sorts of good stuff, and for dinner, I ate trail mix and Chili! YAY! I was supposed to meet Adah, but I couldn't reach her at all! I feel bad, but it wasn't my fault. And then I knit some more in Caitlyn's room watching Grey's Anatomy. Then at about 10 I went down to Will's room because he and Morgan were watching Indiana Jones and I finished my scarf! Almost anyways, I couldn't remember how to bind off! I know it's so easy, but I can't remember! It was fun again. I enjoy Morgan and Will.
So then I came back to my room at about 1 again I think, only to be getting ready for bed and find that my sweet mates friend wandered into their room, was super drunk, and needed to throw up. I was pissed. One of them let him into the bathroom to throw up in the toilet, which is fair so he didn't throw up in their room, but christ! I was in there and I wanted to go to sleep peacefully! And then I was disgusted! I was so mad, and I'm still pretty mad. I hate that kid, actually, I'm not really comfortable with a couple of their friends, and when they're in their room, I DON'T HAVE A LOCK! The bathroom doors don't have locks! And it's really really uncomfortable. I just don't have the nerve to say something to them, but I think that this time I do because that is NOT okay with me. Some creepy friend of there's who I'm not comfortable with coming to their room drunk and then throwing up in what's also MY bathroom with complete and total access to my room! It's not okay and I was really freaked out so I ran downstairs to Morgan's room and Will, Max, Morgan, and Michele were in there so I stayed for a while and then Michele came back up with me to stay in my room for the night because my room mate went home for the weekend. Blah. I know I need to confront them, but I don't feel like I should have to because drinking is just so damn irresponsible and disgusting and they should know to respect my space and how to keep better company. God. Don't worry about it though, anyone. I'll handle it.
So then I woke up at 1 in the afternoon, haha. And Now I have to do my homework after I take a shower, but I'm super mad now because I was thinking about that guy, and I DON'T WANT TO DO MY HOMEWORK! I DON'T WANT TO! AHHHHHHHH!!!!
Oh and I forgot to say that Naomi called me last night and we talked and it was nice and I miss her and she reminded me that her Birthday is this month and I though it was next month and now I really wont have time to get her a present! But it was good to hear from her =)
