i LOVE UDel! gorgeous campus (complemented by the gorgeous weather), amazing fashion program, so many opportunities (especially abroad!), and amazing people there. i learned a lot about the department and major, in addition to the standard stuff they told us at the info session. OMG for the tour we were split into small groups, and my guide was this adorable guy andrew, who is a freshman fashion merchandising major! he showed us the parts of the school more related to the fashion majorts and we went to see the same woman i had met with right before the tour that's high up in the dept. (it was funny my parents and i were like "haha yea we're back!") it's a really nice school, the campus is easily walkable, and it makes up most of the town it's in but doesn't feel like an isolated college - it feels big in it's small-town-ness and small in it's big-college-ness, both of which i really like, if that made any sense whatsoever. and the hillel is great, a really nice facility. so now it's tied for top choice with drexel, because they both are such amazing schools.
it was a LONG day. got up early to go (and did end up getting that bagel on the way ^_^) and read in the car. i finished Interview with a Vampire and really loved it. aaron has some book witht the the next two books in the series so i'm gonna borrow it from eventually lol. and i started reading Marked and like it so far; read about a third. i have little post it tabs inside it (i ran out of one color and almost of a second, and i used both colors to mark different things...lol) and took some notes on a pad of big post its. i don't know how i'm going to relate this to dracula...i may end up reading a different book to relate....but then again, that's the point of the essay/assigment/project, to find a way to put the two into conversation.
i have no plans for this weekend. i feel lame as hell. i'll probably end up starting to teach my sister how to follow a fashion/fabric pattern to make a dog bed tomorrow night, since my parents are going out. brian won't be home till late (he went down to DC i believe, to visit GW while going for a bar mitzvah...or something along those lines), so i won't be able to see him. i was texting him in the car this morning, and we had a pretty long conversation. but when i asked if he'd be home tomorrow night, he said he wouldn't and i was like "oh" and kind of ended the conversation i guess. i eventually asked my mom if i could invite him over sunday and she said yes, so i texted him. he hasn't responded to it. :( so i have no plans for this weekend. gosh. *headdesk* maybe i'll just do productive things. maybe.
i finished chapter 4 of my story. i had to end it there though. it was becoming way too much like twilight, and i couldn't avoid it. it kind of was too close to a fanfic from the beginning, not an original idea. and i'm so frustrated by it that i just had to stop. i don't think it's that good an ending, but i didn't know what else to do. next post will be the chapter.
so yea. i'm feeling like a creative failure right now...maybe i'll go draw or design a bit...or sleep, since it's after 12:30.
