HEY!
So... I lied. I'll probably have a couple of posts before I leave because ironically, I have so much more time than usual! But that's only because I don't have next week’s homework to worry about because THERE ISN'T ANY! YAY! So yesterday went awesomely. Film was fun because all we did for 3 hours was watch everyone's final projects and eat cookies and candy and stuff. I brought in cookies and so did my teacher. I wish I could have baked them, but we all know the story with that... So yea, all of the projects were really fun to watch and all very different and really enjoyable. I mean, I can't complain when I'm watching an hour's worth of short independent films and discussing them!
Then I came back to my room, and Caitlyn and I were supposed to go to the gym, but we decided we'd go later so that we could get work done that needed to be done then. She had to write a 12-page short story as her final paper for one of her classes, and it took her a while, but she'd finished it, so before I did my work I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was also procrastinating my work... So then, I had a little over an hour until English class and a paper due that I hadn't even started. We had to do another argumentative essay, so I'd already decided I was going to argue the other side of my first paper: that photography IS exploitative. I cranked that baby out in an hour, went down to print it, and arrived late but in time to hear that it was actually due Wednesday after all, which doesn't matter because it was a no-pressure or stress essay, I really just wrote it for the fun because we could either re-write our last paper or write a new one, and we all know which would have been the easier way out. So I told him I didn't have a chance to read over it and asked him if I should look it over and turn it into him then, but he said, oh no, that's okay, I'll read over it for you. Haha. Man, but it was our last class because we're not having class Wednesday, which is SAD because I think he was my favorite teacher. I liked what he had to say and he was hilarious and really interesting and knew a lot of things most people don't know. But he's not teaching our class next semester, so we're going to have to have a REAL English class, which is going to be a drag...
And then today I got to sleep sleep sleep in because we didn't have class for LCD, we just had to come in for a review for an hour, and mine was at 12:45. So I got up at 10 and finished my drawing final and took a shower and went to the Pratt store to get spray fixatives to fix my pencil and charcoal drawings (so they don't smudge. He said we had to do it.) and then I went to LCD and stayed for an hour with three other people. He liked my work as a whole and he really really liked my last painting on transparencies. He said I really pulled it all together on that one. (Imagine if I had put 100% of my effort into it? Haha. I put maybe 80% but he doesn’t need to know that) He collected 11 of my peices to hang up at the beginning of next semester! Like my drawing teacher... I think my drawing teacher has maybe 6 or 7 so far and that might be it considering my not-as-good work the second half of the semester as the work got harder. Both LCD and Drawing went that way... But my LCD teacher also gave me this book the other week that he wants me to read and I need advice because I don't want to read it because I don't like how he tries to push his agenda on me and our class, it's really almost like he's telling us about a religion but it's not actually a religion so he can get away with it, you know? But yea, she Video, English and LCD are DONE!
And then tomorrow is Drawing. THAT'S going to be a drag... While he calls us out individually for our reviews, we're going to be drawing the same set-up with a model for the WHOLE DAY! I am NOT excited in the least. But I know I'm passing, so whatever, I just have to DO it, not do it super spectacularly.
And of course, photography YAY I’m excited to get back to some printing. And Art History BOO I'm not excited to study and take that final. Michele and I have been studying almost everyday for a few days, but I realized yesterday that I’m really just not paying attention and therefore not taking anything in or retaining it. So last night I made sure I was paying attention, and I have the Early Gothic Chapter DOWN! But I can’t say the same for the other 11 chapters… But it’s okay because I have tons and tons of time for studying and we’re still going to do plenty more and I have Thursday off and no next week homework to worry about and my teacher is having a review session for an hour and a half after my drawing class tomorrow (not that we’re really sure what he’s going to do or if it’ll help any…) So… I’m not worried about it. Which is precisely why I probably should be because it’s causing me to not try very hard to remember anything, which will screw me over in the end. You follow? Point is, I need to start seriously studying because I need to pass the final. Just a D will let me pass the class.
So what else? Hum… well I guess incase you didn’t notice, me and Michele and me and Caitlyn are cool again. I mean, we never weren’t, but remember I felt attacked by them? Well, we spent some time not seeing each other much and then started hanging out again and it’s been just fine =)
Yep… So again, I reiterate what I’ve been saying which I got here… I can’t wait to come home and I can’t wait to see everyone I’M SO EXCITED!!! YAY!!!
