Just turn around, yeah, you're not welcome anymore.

So I think I need to go grocery shopping, I haven't had anything vaguely nutritious in the house for a good long while, with the exception of a Beef Stew that My friend Jenny and I made (and by that, I of course mean that Jenny made it while I stood around and pretended I was useful).

Classes are insane, they're asinine, they're taxing, and they're awesome. If I wasn't sure that this was what I wanted to do before, I sure as hell am now. I think that my love of design has only multiplied through all of these insane deadlines and bad marks and long strings of all-nighters pulled only to achieve an abysmal grade. I see things differently, I can tell why the stupid fucking type on the Sunglass Hut billboard is arranged the way it is, I know a whole ton of otherwise unimportant and useless things, and I love it, it's like being 8 years old, and having a language that only you and the other people in your clubhouse understand. Sure other people can hear you speaking it, but deep down, only you know why it makes them feel the way it does.

In the next week, I have to finish :

1 Visual language assignment - Vectorizing parts of images from the image archive we compiled over the last couple of weeks.

2 Typography assignment - Page layouts for a book of Aesop's Fables.

3 Typography assignment - Research and design a poster that gives information of a method of communication in the field of type (in my case, Caroline Miniscules)

4 Critical Issues in Design assignment - Rough draft of an essay comparing author's methods of describing the the Apple iMac , a Photo and a poster.

5 Fine Arts and Cultural Studies assignment - write a review on a piece of art outside of your primary discipline.

For that last one I will use either the CAKE show or The Dark Knight. I haven't decided yet.

Anyway, I should get to working on that stuff, but before I do, I should mention, because I don't think I mention it enough, that Zack and Chris are awesome, and essentially my brothers, and we need to hang out more.
