DONE DONE DONE DONE
I finally finished my finals. Which means I've endured a series of 70+ hour weeks of sketching, sanding, note taking, and resisting the urge to swan dive out of the fourth story windows. The last third of the semester is always the worst, the part where you've lost sight of the finish line but you're feeling the burden of the prior 2/3 workload. I'm happy to say that it all came out better than expected. I'm a ton closer with a lot of friends, I've made great connections by becoming close with a lot of my awesome teachers, and I'm happy with my work.
The best feeling ever is busting your ass for so long only to get a job offer for a full time design position based on my first year's work. Yes, a company developing flexible solar cells wanted me to help find applications for their technology. TOTALLY up my alley. There's no way to say yes to that though, because what happens if they go under and I am left jobless? Gotta finish school! Hopefully next year there will be an even better job offer! Our product design 1 class was one of the best the school ever had, so now we've got a reputation to uphold. It's a warm feeling but now I've gotta produce better work every semester, EEK! The heat is ON! Check out my various facebook photo albums for photo documentary of this year's shenanigans.
Today I was invited to guest critique a freshman form development course. This dude designed a clock that was exactly this: a cat's head.
Now, how original is that? To copy nature directly in every way. This was complete mirroring. There was no artistic venturing on the "catness" of the object. So, he was BS'ing his presentaiton just as the assistant director and another high level faculty came in to watch. Needless to say, his asshole was made much larger. It was PAINFUL to watch. I had to leave early, but apparently the kid argued with them for 10 minutes about his cat fancy project. lol. Some people.
This semester I had about six nights to screw around. Needless to say, I've got to let some angst out this winter break. There's a lot of polyester resin dust on my frontal lobe that needs to be supplanted by fine cocaine dust. And by cocaine dust I mean fun nights with my niggas. Plus, I'm turning 21 soon. In the words of Street Sharks, we shall become jawsome!
On another note, I have this neighbor who is a rich Filipino girl. She's really cute and all, blah blah blah, but that's not important. I'm saying this because sometimes it's just so horrible feeling to watch someone make poor choices. She's at the top of her field, extremely smart, but she has the WORST taste in guys. This super talented advertising guru came and presented to her class and he's apparently married and 30 years old. She's 20 and (was) a completely prude and sexually inexperienced person. Now shes throwing herself physically at him in a tacit attempt to get an IN in the industry. How pathetic. She doesn't know what she's getting herself into. I told her my viewpoint of her decision but she doesn't want to see the negative implications. He's got a bridal registry at the Macy's my friend works at!!! AHHHHH. Gross. Horrible.
USED GOODS!!!!
lol.
To end on a bright note,

Justin, don't do it man.
