Soooo hi
Hello! Long time no journal.
Um. ... well thats mostly because there isn't a whole lot going on. I've had a wonderful boyfriend, Matt, for a year now. He lives in California, but he's hoping to get stationed in Dover, DE with the Air Force. We'll see how that works out...
We got a new dog last summer, and she's a TICK MAGNET... She had one today and one was crawling on me yesterday. Twice. I kept batting at it when I saw it like a dummy so its wandering somewhere in the house now. Awesome right? ... Doesn't help my tick phobia one bit!
School's been... well irritating, but I earned an associates in Art and Design in December. With honors! Yay. Now I'm right back again working on an associates in Graphic Design. Lots of similar classes so I figured it's almost 2 for 1 haha.
Actually I did a lot last summer, cousins got married and Matt was here for a while. I started a picasa site, which is Googles form of photobucket or webshots. Yaaaaay Google! http://picasaweb.google.com/ardillacheeks
Right now it's technically spring break. Yaaaaay break. School... not so much fun. The teachers are... yeah. You THINK they're good teachers, they're nice, but ahhhh they drive me insane. I have 3 classes, and one of the teachers teaches 2 of those, so only 2 teachers this semester. I have issues with both. The one that teachers 2 of the classes won't let me go to the Adobe Photoshop World Conference thingie that Kate invited me to (Kate being Matt's sister, and already a Graphic Designer) and ... I don't know she's... ... she's not dumb but... not really a teacher or something. I can't put my finger on it. On two separate occasions she's neglected to use the word "multiply" when it would have been better. That bothered me more than it should have. For example, on one of our project sheets she was explaining how to do a character count and she said "Times"... but since it was in Typography class my mind went right to Times New Roman font and I got confused. Then I was studying for our test and she said "X" and I was like "X? Like algebra?" ... just say multiply! >_> Yes I know thats just a mild and irrational irritation, but I've also seen her use "Two" as "Too" and cite Wikipedia. So. Yeah. The other teacher... she kinda teaches, but not really. She isn't too helpful. She says the best way to reach her is by email and that anything emailed to her will go to her cell phone so she's sure to get it. However, 4 times between Nikki (my new friend in the graphic design program) and I the teacher has failed to respond. However, she did respond to my one email... the day our one project was due. Why even bother to respond? I was already AT school, and she knew that. Grrr. Overall tho things seem to be going well.
And now... I'm going to shower! Maybe I'll update this a little more often, but no promises!
