you don't need to compromise

first class down. the jewelry prof was a younger woman who was very vivacious and cute. and she's been doing jewelry/metals for 10 years, so hopefully that'll translate into some worthwhile classtime. i'm actually already stoked about my first project, for which i need to do some research before wednesday. i believe our first project is a pierced brooch of some design, with lots of miscellaneous samples. we need things for inspiration. i'm going to be researching various things that i'm interested in right now including traditional ancient celtic/medieval metalworking, oriental art (specifically relating to the myth of the rising phoenix), and more organic art. i saw THE MOST awesome tree on the way over here (i'm at the sherrod library) that would make for some amazing jewelry inspiration. i'm going to see if dustin will lemme borrow his camera so i can take some pictures tomorrow. i'll post those up. damn i need a digital camera.

so today has been good. class got out a little earlier than usual because it was only the first day and no one had goggles or tweezers or other supplies. the department also provides a lot of the metalworking tools for us to share with a partner, so that's nice. who said there wouldn't be perks with going to a state university? despite the fact that i had to haul ass about a half mile across campus because the parking situation here is so ridiculous. they are in desperate need of a parking garage.

and hot damn, i look way cute today. i haven't felt cute in forever. it's a good hair day, my bra coordinates with my panties which both coordinate with my crocheted sweater which, coincidentally, matches my car. and the combination of turquoise and pink always rocks. i so look like an art student. haha.

so today's been good so far, despite the fact that i have to work today. though it shouldn't be too long, and maybe i can even get a little more time in if philosophy is cut short. after my other obligations, i need to go by lowes or somewhere to find some good saftey goggles- not those godawful lab goggles that make your face sweat. i'll probably head to kingsport too so that i can check for tweezers at hobby lobby and visit dustin.

and there's a hottie in my metals class. that always helps.
