WEEK 5

Monday was President's Day and I decided I needed a day off! I didn't do much but it felt good to just relax all day.

Tuesday in Printmaking I completed the assignment for a 2 plate print. I plan, well at least I hope, to do more prints since I really like how they turned out.

After class i went home to get started on my presentation for Art of Research. My presentation went well but I expected that it would. Afterwards I came home and took a nap. When I woke up I didn't do much but thats par for the course at this point in the term. Since I didn't sleep the day away I decided to give Lizee call. It had been a while since we hung out and the last couple times she has hit me up for dinner, I was you guessed it. Sleeping! Anyways I called her up. When she got her we decided on going to Gus's in South Pas. Frank had told me about this spot so I had been wanting to go here.

After checking out their website we headed on over. I have to say their site is really well done. After getting to the place their decor was equally impressive. As for the food. It was excellent. I can't wait to go back.

Thursday was pretty much a wasted day. Marian Bantjes was at school giving a lecture and I decided to check it out. She spoke a couple terms back and while it wasn't the same I can't say that it was worth my time.

Inside joke

Friday came quick since I missed class on Monday. Modernism was rough getting through it. I kept nodding off and sitting about 4 feet from the teacher wasn't good. She eventually called me out but not in a mean way. I need to go to sleep earlier. Even if I am done with work I still can't go to sleep right away. There was a graphics internship meeting so I wasn't able to go home before my packaging class. I got some good information from the meeting. Hopefully an internship is in my future.

Packaging class was more of the usual. The paper lecture that Dan gave was really good. Class ended early which gave me time to go meet up with the Art Center Airsoft Club. I found out about them through a general school email. I set up to meet with them and get an interview. Was pretty interesting. After that I came home and relaxed before passing out.

Saturday I woke up pretty late. I headed over to Blick trying to find a portfolio. I didn't have any luck. I think I just may make one out of cardboard. Then I headed over to South Campus and Printmaking to pick up my print and clean up my drawer a bit. While I was there Frank and Eric were heading to get some food so we all went to La Estrella on Fair Oaks. We picked up the food and headed back to campus. I ate and talked to some people before heading out to take pics for Art of Research.

I went down to China Town. Traffic was crazy over there because of something going on. I couldn't really tell, but all the streets were blocked off causing me to figure out how to get where I needed to go. After driving around forever I got to my spot and took my pics. On the way home I stopped off at Printmaking again. Gloria was in Archetype and I talked to her for a little while. I still need to finish my business cards I started last term. Going to need those for Y Conference. Before I knew it was almost 5 and the day was gone. I headed home to relax and watch the UFC fights.

The fights were decent. Jori came over for some help with a project he was working on. Hopefully our chat helped him out. There were a couple more fights left when he took off. I was supposed to go to a party afterwards but I just couldn't make it out.

Sunday I worked on Com Design 3 all day.

Random Photos of the Week

Only at an art school would you find this. Someone's laptop gets stolen and they claim to know who it is. So instead of taking it back, which is what I would do, they design a poster and put them up all over school. The poke your nose threat takes the cake.
