(45) this is that fresh feeling
In my Issues in Arts & Technology Business and Digital Arts (god what a mouthful) class, we are assigned to create a company. So far, we've had to write out our mission statement as well as a 30 second 'elevator speech' trying to pitch our company. Today he made us list out our personal strengths and weaknesses and list them out to our partners. I mean, I know where he's coming from with that, but it was still very awkward. I lied on mine, of course, telling them I was organized, punctual, etc. when we all know I'm the worst kind of procrastinator alive and that I'm almost always late no matter what the event.
On the whole, though, the class seems interesting. I have thought about going into the business side of ATEC, but I just wasn't exactly sure what avenues were available for me..hopefully this will help me out ...somehow. My group came up with our company type(advertising) AND mission statement(oh hey, even the elevator speech) in class today during the five minute break. Though I should probably be concerned about our lack of devotion, I was more impressed by the fact that our statement and speeches were so damn snazzy.
While all this was going on, my stomach decided to rebel and growl ominously. It's funny how when I'm at home relaxing, starving, my stomach never growls or anything. Yet, when I'm in class, semi-hungry(after eating, mind you) and surrounded by people, it roars and growls and makes all sorts of weird noises that earns stares in my general direction. I'm not very good at playing it off either(hey, it was HIM), since I sort of clutch my midsection willingpleading it to stop. I embarrass myself so much.
I have finally started getting along further in Neverhwere by Neil Gaiman. When I say 'along further,' I mean I've actually gotten past the first chapter. I really can't believe how long it's taken me to actually pick up the damn book and read it. I can't even say it's because it's not interesting because it really is, I just don't have the same bookworm mentality that I used to have, I suppose. It's really bothersome. I suppose I just haven't found that convenient time period during the day....I probably sleep through it.
And Happy 21st to everman. J, you are awesome in so many ways. Despite how things have been lately, you're still one of the closest people to me in the world and I treasure that. Have a great day. :)
