Blog #7: Trying to make the midnight cut!

Hey everyone! Spent the day, for the most part, in the studio again. Helped a bunch of classmates learn how to use photoshop to give themselves a general layout of where they want everything on their image, all of us are getting to be really close (Seeing eachother (we have 12 in our studio) close to 9 hours a day helps that, of course). Some day next week we're all going to order a pizza to the studio, eat it AWAY FROM OUR DRAWINGS, do work on our projects, and hang out.. that should be fun! Also got a nice compliment from a professor today, he said he was "amazed at how quickly and precisely I work" -- it always feels good to get acknowledged!

Tomorrow I have drawing (my least favorite class so far, the stuff we're working on makes me want to bang my head against the desk-- we're drawing the letters of our name in "perfect" font, on a huge piece of paper. You have no idea how complex a normal-looking N can be.) After that I have math; and I was delighted to find out that this will probably be my easiest class. We spent the entire hour and a half on tuesday going over 2 "limit" problems, which I learned the first week of my junior year in high school. Granted, it's only the beginning, but I don't have the "brightest crayons in the box" in my class.

Tomorrow is the first football game! Classes end at 3:15, and the bus leaves at 4! C-A-N-E-S CANES!

Also, bridgey, this is for you:
Don't cheat!!

Love you guys so much and miss you all so much!

  4. Angel -- I am SOOOOO proud of you. Always have been!!! I love that you are able and willing to lend a hand to your classmates, and that you are coming together as a close group. How fantastic! I am so thrilled that a professor recognized you and your talent -- you are obviously making a great impression (as we all knew you would!!!) I LOVE the diagram -- how creative and hysterical.

  8. Hey Norman,
    Hope you enjoyed your first "Canes" game. Sounds like things are going great for you. We are enjoying keeping up with your progress (kind of makes me feel like I'm back in college, but without all the pesky work). Take care!
    Love, Aunt Bonnie

  9. OK -- don't you know that I have been tethered to the computer awaiting your next blog??? Love you so much and hope you had a great time at the game. I mailed your raquetball racket and racing suit to you today. I couldn't find your goggles so I'll pick up a pair for you from sports authority as soon as I can. You should have this package by next Thursday. You may want to open it as soon as it arrives -- Grandma will be very hungry!!! Love you so very much.

  11. I have this blog entry and all the responses memorized...I have read them so many times.

    Are you at TWILIGHT ZONE University where it is STILL Wednesday??????

    Anyhow, had another fun day at he pool today - our last day of the week swim before school starts. Managed to get in an outside Brownie meeting and not get hit by the "cane" and went out to dinner with some friends.

    Interesting, when the hurricane was on its way to NJ, all the birds started fleeing. All except for those good old DUCKS. They are not scared off by a storm.

    Hope your weekend is starting out fun and that your week wrapped up well. Oh, that is right, it is STILL WEDNESDAY for you.

    Love ya. AB
