Watching the Hourglass

Time’s going too fast for my liking. I’m going to make this short in an attempt to catch up with everything else that’s going on. Bullet time:

Drawing: We had one class this week due to Veteran’s day. I managed to salvage most of the drawing by doing some research on pastel techniques. Nesad Library saves the day again! I’m not sure what we’re doing next week, but Thanksgiving is fast approaching.

Printmaking: We went over our prints. I’m still being skeptical about my print. Randal and Perla are telling me it’s great. When I look at it I still feel its flawed because it didn’t satisfy the person who commissioned it. I think I just need some emotional distance or something.

Sociology: I did worse on my second test. I passed, so no alarm bells, but I’ll have to study harder on the next test. Each of us also has to pick a case, identify three sociological concepts in it, and write a paper about it. My case is next week.

Western Art 1: I was twenty minutes late to our museum trip. Wednesday screwed me up and I forgot to leave my Sociology class fifteen minutes early. If I had been by myself, it would have been very bad. However, there were a bunch of us who were late due to classes and registration times. I’ve a paper due next Thursday. I’ve written a rough draft by hand and have to type it out and edit.

Imaging: We moved from Texture to Scale. The point of the project is to take something out of scale. I did three: Huge chess pieces behind a city, babies playing with a bathtub with a ship with tiny people on it, and a gingerbread house hidden in with the rest of a neighborhood. I thought the last one was the worse, but Matt told me it was my best. Something has got to be wrong with the way I’m looking at things.

Roommate Situation: I’ve got a girl and a guy that want to rent the room. The guy is from MIT and is willing to pay more for the room, but I already gave the girl, who is out of the country, contact information and she’s supposively filling out the paperwork. I don’t know if that’s the truth or if she told me that to keep me from renting to the guy from MIT Maybe I should contact the realty company and ask if they spoke to her. It was so hard for me to contact them that I’m surprised she got through to them so quick…
