My bed in my dorm is lofted and I've taken advantage of it not only by utilizing the space underneath as storage, but also by constructing a nook complete with rug, pillows, and lamp. It's basically so I can hide out from one of my roommates when I'm actually in my room.
Classes begin tomorrow. New professor, more supplies, new people to put up with. Not fun.
A girl fell threw the railings from the 5th floor today. SCAD is freaking out to say the least. They definitely don't want to be sued. As much as I feel sorry for her, it's her own damn fault for sitting up against the railing; SCAD construction isn't exactly known to be dependable.
SCAD has completely desensitized me along with every other member of the student body. Besides the girl who nearly died today, some guy did in fact die over the break; his car was hit by an 18 wheeler, and both times we were informed of the "tragic" information everyones' first reactions were, "His roommates get free tuition now" and "I wonder if SCAD is going to let her go to school for free now? What about her roommates?" [Actually for the girl it was, "Was she drunk?" and then the talk about money.] People around here could care less about others' well being and safety; we just want to know how to get out of paying for school. It's damn expensive.
I don't know how anyone around here is suppose to put emotion into their artwork when no one seems to understand what sympathy or empathy is. If you thought I was an unsympathetic bitch before...
