calm before the storm

this is effectively the "calm before the storm" except not really. just finished up laundry and got back from dinner with a big group of people. im sitting here on my bed listening to the pouring rain and sirens pass by. it's week seven which means major stress is just around the corner. 

tonight is the fourth and last accepted students chat. two weeks ago we had 150 students sign on between 7 and 10 pm to chat with us. there are anywhere between 10 and 12 ambassadors in the chat so it's a LOT of typing. sometimes it's a tad hard to keep up. 

tomorrow i have only 1 three hour class, work & i'm giving a tour around 1 (hopefully it doesnt pour... i can hope, right?). tomorrow night there is an IV small group meeting which i might go to if i have enough time? there is another one tonight but i can't go because of this chat. 

as for projects.. currently in the middle of a sort of logo design project for elements of graphic design, due next week. for that class i'm also working on a presentation (10 minutes long) where i'm supposed to talk about a famous graphic designer. for psychology, we're still plodding away at the book, we've gotten through 9 chapters so far, i think. in philosophy we're on our third book, took a test a week or so ago, so only two big tests left before the end. in vector we're working on 5 one page layouts of a quote (which you might have seen in my last post) i still need to finish 3 of those by thursday night. in 3d we're working on another project for imagine RIT, it's due monday so im going to need to finish that either tomorrow or friday. for drawing we just finished up our 30 in by 40 in drawing in chalk pastel (two weekends ago) but apparently it's wrong so i'm going to need to start over and finish that by wednesday night (oh wait, that's tomorrow...) we're also starting a new project due tuesday, two 9 by 12" drawings chalk pastel that are supposed to be "studies" for our larger drawing... two 30 by 40 in.. yeah you got that right. diptych drawing, the large one is in color (chalk pastel) as well and that's due in 3 weeks. we're supposed to build them at the same time so im going to figure out how the heck to store a 30 by 80 inch drawing...

things could be busier i guess. i think it sounds worse writing it all out. this weekend is IV, a four hour orientation assistant get together thingamabob, a lacrosse game and a possible picnic at charlotte beach.
