This is going to be a BUSY term.
Oct. 9th, 2008 09:53 pm...And this will probably be my last post for a while.
Character & Object Design is going to make Thursday The Best Day of the Week. Laryssa, Grace, Aurora, Jacob, David, and Lily are all in the class, and it's a large class: twenty-two students total. That it is an afternoon class is good, too, because we're not nodding off and everyone's energy level is relatively high, and we're all rather enthusiastic, it seems. TONS of laughter today, and it's just week one!
There is going to be an assignment every week for Character & Object Design, and I want to do well. I'd like to try for another A in one of Za's classes. :)
After class, Aurora suggested going out for art supplies and dinner. Grace, Jacob and I (and another student, whose name I've forgotten) stopped by Utrecht briefly. After saying goodbye to Jacob, us girls went to Baja Fresh. I got a grilled mahi mahi fish taco, and also enjoyed some of Aurora's leftover nachos. Stopped by Fred Meyer at Gateway for face wash, then drove home under a brooding, very rainy sky. Got home shortly past 7:00.
3D Modeling & Animation II, take two, will also keep me very busy. Thankfully, I've got a head start this time as Hades Laboratories is basically fully modeled already. Just needs some more outer details, and now I can really spruce up the hill that the facility sits atop. The trees will probably all be paint effects, but I'll be sure to ask questions frequently, whenever I have a question or need help. That's one of my academic weaknesses, not asking questions or asking for help.
HURRAY FOR HAVING MAYA AT HOME.
I still need to critique my peers' short stories for Creative Writing. Going to redraw my Anatomy & Movement assignments (anterior views of the torso and pelvis, posterior view of the torso).
Reread the first chapter of Watchmen in Powell's this morning before heading to class.
One more thing:
Bibliophilia is EXPENSIVE. I've bought a shit-ton of books from Powell's since starting college at AIPD... and not long ago, I learned how much I've spent on pleasure reading: $271.82. SWEET JESUS. After I buy Watchmen on Saturday while hanging out with Michael, NO MORE BOOKS FOR JILLIAN FOR A LONG TIME. No more hobby reads, anyway.
I buy more books than I have time to read. [/dolt]
That said, I picked up a slightly damaged copy of V for Vendetta today. Its price sticker was down to Amazon's price, so I just grabbed it. Augh! (But yay for V!)
Take care, my friends! <3 I'll probably take notes in a journal for anything interesting that happens in my absence and save it all for a future post. I think I might put my dA gallery into storage again....
