Okay so this has been awhile in coming...

(This is the post that I mention didn't get posted... well apparently it got half posted... so now it is complete. It's not that great anyway...)

Hey everybody! (Or at least my one reader haha... hey Jeremy! *waves*... on that note post a comment if you read my blog... the mystery is killing me.)

So this post I've been putting off for awhile and I'm not quite sure why... I guess I don't have anything SuP3R ExCItiN9 to write about other than school and the people I'm forced... *clears throat* I mean the people I hang out with. (No I joke, I joke, some of them are genuinely cool) School is going great, it's pretty much everything I ever dreamed as far as the actual course goes... the classmates do unfortunately leave a bit to be desired. We have an unusually large class (31 peeps from every corner of the globe you can name and some I've never heard of) but the problem is that most of them are fresh outta high school and still have that "high school mentality" that I was so eager to cast off years ago. ("If you can get away without doing the work, why not?" Why Not? $17000 that's why not bitch.) But besides that shortfall the content is incredible, I have 8 classes this term (6 terms in the 48 week class)

Art History 01 - The history of art from the prehistoric to the postmodern. We have to profs, one teaches the philosophy aspect (it seems great thinkers like plato and aristotle thought a lot about art) and the other (Jay) teaches the art history aspect. Very cool class, I love it and all it is is lectures and exams.

Lens Based Media 01 - Just what the name says, we're studying photography this term at least... we had this project where we had to go around and find the 26 letters of the alphabet and create well composed photos with them...

Here's my "M"













Here's my "V"













Communication Design 01 - Uhh... I couldn't tell you exactly what this class is... It's teaching us to design things to communicate specific ideas sorta... or that's the ultra-compressed explanation... The real one took 30 minutes. Our first project was the most annoying thing I've ever done. We has to arrange 4 black squares within a frame in 6 different ways to communicate different things such as "order" "bold" "increase" "congestion" "playful" and "tension". I'd show you my work that took fucking 4 hours to draw 4 billion fucking black boxes (I was cursing as I worked) but I'm having some problems with my internet connection since my roommates are fuckers who sit around and download movies 24/7 leaving me with 0.5kb/s download speeds and worse. (Not joking) I need to get out of here.

The other courses are 2D design 01(perspective drawing), Life drawing 01 (drawing nudes and objects from life, learning to "see"), Sequential media 01(telling stories with sequenced media), Digital Design 01(Adobe photoshop class), and Acting (Hooray!!!)

Anyway I'll try to upload some pictures but my roommates are internet hogs from HELL!! I'm MOVING OUT! AHHHHH!!!
