I love how you kept me talking on the phone this morning.... ; )
Yesterday was fun.
Learned a little DOS in my computer class. It was interesting, slightly rushed during the last 5 minutes of class.
Went to Beginning Design. Homework for that class is have 54 sketches of 6 design principles (9 for each principle) and 18 collage piece examples of the same 6 design principles (3 for each principle) as well as the definitions for 3 chapters. All of this was assigned yesterday and is due tomorrow. It isn't hard, it's just time consuming.
Tachii then came to the campus and suprised me with a snack and smoothie from Sonic. Cheese sticks and Strawberry-banana goodness! ^_^ It was delicious!!! We walked around the campus and then we went to get my negatives. I also had to print some notes for my ethics class, had trouble opening the lab door. It was my first time going in there. :P Tachii then took some pretty awesome pictures of branches from sitting on the campus. It was really cool. Hope to get those up soon. Soon after I had to go to photography class.
Photography wants all 4 rolls of our negatives developed and contact sheets printed out by tomorrow. I had 2 of my rolls developed and had to buy paper for the contact sheets. It turns out that after I tried to make my test strip for the contact sheets my teacher asks: "Is that fiber paper?" I respond, "I don't know." She tells me that I bought the paper for people who are in Photography II. It's a higher grade of paper that brings out the blacks in black and white photography. I can't use this paper because it requires an extra step to set the picture and also has a different exposure time when developing. I borrowed a few RC paper sheets (the ones I need for the class) for work today.
Ethics was interesting too. Learned more jargon and more effective ways to argue. Talked about relativism and he said this awesome line:
"Morality is like ice cream. It's a matter of taste and one can't be proven better one way or another."
I thought that was interesting.
The weather is amazing over here. Cool and lifting. Perfect temperature for taking a walk and pictures, as we did yesterday! :D

Hope you enjoy!!! (No sound required)
Hanayama
I've ordered another set of 4 puzzles from the Hanayama series. ( Go to www.castpuzzle.net for more information on Hanayama Cast Puzzles ) I have all of the American puzzles and am now collecting the ones that are in Japan only. There have been 2 new puzzles added to the Hanayama series, one of them I have ordered and received already.
Here are the ones I received in the mail last week:
CAST KEYRING (Lvl. 2)
CAST O'GEAR (Lvl. 3)
CAST VORTEX (Lvl. 5) *NEW*
"Subject: Crest
The three pieces each have a spiral (vortex) body and two protrusions. When assembled together, each piece is unified into a flat object. In order to undo this complex entanglement it will be necessary to unbind them three dimensionally. The motivation behind this idea is the statue of Asura. Asura is an ancient Indian god and also a protector of Buddhism. The figure with the three faces and six arms conjured up the concept of Trinity.

CAST NUTCASE (Lvl. 6, Was originally undefinded level of difficulty when it came out)
The 2nd New puzzle that has been added to the series is not out to buy from the retailer that I shop from. Here's what it looks like:
CAST EQUA (Lvl.5) *NEW*
"The Pretender"
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity
Boy, the wheel is spinning me
It's never ending, never ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well

We're temporary, temporary

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrorin' your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees
So who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
