USING THE FRONT DOOR IS COOL!
today is the first day of the rest of my life i think. my junior portfolio review is today...and if i pass it than i can get a BFA [bachelor of fine arts] instead of just a BA [bachelor of arts]. if i don't pass though, then i may as well think of another major to persue. or just drop out. from what i've been told, because i've gotten A's and B's in all the classes work that is being submitted then i should be ok. but all i can think about are all the minor details that are wrong, ie: one piece isn't inset perfectly in the middle, all my boards aren't exactly 16x20, is the spray glue a strong enough bond to keep the boards together or are they going to fall apart in the professors hands, etc. of course, i don't find out these results until wednesday....so i'll probably be freaking out until then. i've just spent so much time and money and effort into putting this all together that i really hope everything goes ok. it's the worst because you have no idea how the 5 professors are percieving your work. i just dropped off the portfolio in the room, opened up the box and made sure the paperwork was by it, and thats it. i don't get to defend my design choices and decessions or anything. it's all just out on a drafting tables with 39 other peoples portfolios. and i know i just need to stop stressing about it because there's nothing left i can do now. i tried my best and hopefully they'll see that.
i did find out yesterday that i have an 86.5% in drawing techniques right now.....which is the happiest 86% i've ever recieved. man, i was going to be happy with a 70% in that class....but i've got a B and i've never been so proud of myself. i still have 5 more things that will be graded, but i'm so pumped. 2 more renderings and then i hope to god i never have to touch another prismacolor marker again.
it's crunch time too....one week of classes left and then finals and then semester number 5 will be over. i've got to be focused big time...three major projects, a paper, and a comprehensive final. on december 15 at 3:56, i plan on starting to drink myself into an alcohol induced coma. this way i can be doing my 2 favorite things at once: being drunk and sleeping. i mean, seriously though, i have a lot of sleep to catch up on from not sleeping at all this semester. the week after finals, i don't have a damn thing planned and it's the best feeling ever.
some of you may know, i had a little incident with a random a couple weeks back and this resulted in my amazing light up/sound making sword being stolen. although it wasn't exactly stolen because i knew who had it and where it was. just the process of getting it back wasn't going to really be in my favor. well, the sloots continue to amaze me and on wednesday, they got trashed, walked to his place, and demanded for it back. god i love them and it's so good to have it back. it's probably one of my all time favorite toys ever.
rewind a few weeks: thanksgiving was a good time. i enjoyed eating lots of food and seeing the family and i had a surprisingly good time working at regal. i think, had i been there any longer, i i probably would have wanted to shoot myself. i achieved one of my life goals while working. i saw a real life bearded woman. i think thats the only way to explain it because there was no clear definition of a man trying to be a woman or vice versa. the woman had on bright pink lipstick, a pink hat and a pink scarf. she clearly had the body of a woman as well as feminine facial features. and then she had a beard. it wasn't like she tried keeping it contained or anything though. it was all long and grey and scragaly and clearly it was facial hair. the thing that gets me, wouldn't you atleast attempt to trim it or something? seriously, it was like 4 or 5 inches long. like, she could have taken a steak knife and hold the hair away from her face and cut it that way. even if she was blind, she would have been able to take care of it. it just didn't make sense. also, the best thing ever happened to me while working. i was in box, and i had just sold an old woman a ticket to a movie and as she was leaving, i said "have a nice day" like to say to everyone. she took about 2 steps forward, and then leaned back, slids her hand under the window slot, and goes "no, you have a nice day" and walks away. she slid me one of the red and white peppermint candy things. it was hilarious because i had no idea what was going on while it was happening. and people just dont do shit like that. i can imagine her as the woman who gives out those pencils where the erasers fall out for halloween.
CHIIIIIIIIIIIING! :)
