And I feel like I just got home

First off, I want to let you know that I found this cover, and am posting it because it reminded me of my mother.

So, since I last posted.. Thursday I had a class called 2-D Design (Which will now be referred to as ‘design class’) which is one of my favorites out of all of them. Our assignment for this week was that we were given a sheet of shapes (long.. rods/sticks? squares, circles and triangles) and with that, we had to create a design that showed a good use of scale, balance and proportion. The only other problem was that we were only allowed to use what shapes were on the sheet, and we has to make one with an off-white background with shapes that were grey, white and black (We didn’t have to use all the shapes, just all the colours), and then we had to replicate it in colour in a manner that would change how it was seen. So, after much rearranging of shapes, this is what my final piece came out as (sorry my camera is picky with lighting):

It was received pretty well, so I’m glad about that. I also cut the mat for it (the black frame) which is something we learned how to do a few weeks ago. Design class is a lot of fun in general, because while we’re doing in-class work, we listen to music on youtube and dance and it is generally a fun time.

Friday I had graphics class, and what we’re working on now is photo manipulation.. On pictures of people in the class (and the teacher) and it is a LOT of fun, and there was a lot of laughing in class. I also had to work on Friday, and due to some staff complications I ended up having to close, which means I didn’t get home until 2 in the morning. I wasn’t scheduled to work on Saturday (I mostly just work 2 shifts a week, and usually it’s Friday and Saturday night.. This week I’d worked Sunday and had Saturday off) but they called me at 5 and asked if I could come in to close because they were short staffed.

Today I didn’t do much.. I bought groceries, I went for a walk because it was really nice out, and I hung out with Addison and Kaytlyn for awhile.. and I procrastinated on writing my essay that’s due on Tuesday! (It’s half done now..!) All in all, an exciting week. Actually, that was kind of a boring week because it was just schoolhomeworkworkwork because I didn’t do anything social at all. Alas, there is always next week!
