Wow, that posting every day thing lasted all of...less than a day. Clearly I am excellent at keeping my own promises. So I will make up for yesterday with an uber long post about today.
- I actually might get paid for doing a bit of light graphic design for my mom's work. Long story short, they brought in a graphic designer to redesign their logo and their folios they hand out to clients, but they got about 95% of the way done and then had to scrap basically the whole thing. So my mom had me take a look at what they were deciding on dealing with and help them out. The boss for her company said if I help out enough that they'll pay me. As a broke college student, I really approve of this plan.
- Mom and I also visited the Art Institute today and saw a Roy Lichtenstein exhibit. He is amazeballs, basically. As an art history enthusiast, I really appreciated the whole gallery showing, especially how tongue-in-cheek Lichtenstien's humor was when it comes to his work. I was annoyed, however, that one of the commentators on the audio guide had a tendency to say "visual guide" and he really needed to not say it every two sentences.
- I got to grab DQ with my friends from home as a last send-off-get-together before everyone starts heading back to school. We basically sat in the middle of a park and talked about random things including our fears of snakes, bugs, and accompanying stories. One of my friends looked at me, later on, and said "being in college sucks." And I know what she means. We can't see eachother during the year (or barely can), and we barely see eachother during the summer either. It's going to be even weirder with me going off to Australia in the spring and one of my friends going off to Germany for a year starting in January.
