i just realized that i have not really been updating lately. i can't really promise anything with this one either because i'm currently sitting at a really awkward angle on my bed which is making it difficult to type. you might ask why i'm not moving... i'm comfortable, that's why.
it's week three of spring quarter.. i think. days are going by quickly and weeks are going by slowly, if that is even possible. actually come to think of it, i don't even remember getting up this morning so i guess that feels like a long time ago too. i've been convinced all day that it is wednesday, which it sadly is not.
i'm surprisingly caught up on work. we're working on a 30 by 40 inch replica of a master drawing. i'm working on a piece by m.c. escher. in three d we're making reliquaries, still not entirely sure what i'm doing but that's what tomorrow is for. in elements of gd we're working on a three dimensional box project which is basically created a pattern using figure ground and all that that works both two and three dimensionally. it'd make more sense if you saw the final project-- which is due next tuesday. in philosophy we're reading plato's meno, test next class. it's a pretty interesting class to be taking in conjunction with psychology. speaking of that, we're on the "memory" chapter in psych. a test every class is a little brutal but it's alright. we take a test in the first part of it and then the professor lectures for the rest-- it's a four hour class on thursday nights. and finally in vector we're just learning the basics of illustrator.
i've had a fair amount of free time. weird, i know. i'm managing eight (or more) hours of sleep a night, eating my fruits and veggies, etc. even had time to watch an episode of the office tonight. i think i scared some people this weekend when they asked how much time i spend on homework, in class, or whatever. i added it up and it's 29 hours in class, between 12-16 hours working in admissions and about 4 hours of homework a night. it's seriously not that bad.
in other more long term things, i interviewed for a potential orientation position two weeks ago. it would mean coming back to school 2 weeks early for training and work. for this summer i'm considering coming back up to rochester for a few weeks to work in admissions-- which i don't believe i've told my parents yet so uhm... that's the plan! not the whole summer though, don't worry.
and because i have some weird need to write about hockey in every post, the caps lost tonight to the toronto maple leafs. the post earlier was a link to a story about a graduate from RIT that played hockey. he plays for the hershey bears and was recently called up to be on the roster for the washington caps. unfortunately even due to illness of other members of the caps, he didn't play but he did warm up. if he had played, he would become the first hockey player from RIT to play in the NHL. pretty cool, huh? caps lost 2-3.
We think therefore we are a bit confused
Promises we make we break to keep ourselves amused
Everybody sometimes feels like somebody's watching you
And it keeps us human
[human-big city rock]
lyrics aren't really for anything special, i just happen to be listening to that song right now.
this turned out a little longer than expected, sorry :)

I must look up the word "reliquaries" I have no idea what it is. The LARGE replica of an escher work is just intriguing beyond words. I love his stuff. Ranks right up there with crumpled tinfoil. Love and hugs, Nana
