do i really need a title? they don't really ever matter anyway, cause they are usually something along the lines of "blah" or something. oh well.

today is the last day of classes. i had german this morning - after class i asked my teacher about the oral exam (not too horrible) and she was tellin me that she really thinks i should continue in german. i am thinking of maybe doing a minor, but if i go for a bfa (bachelor of fine arts) i will be really really busy. I am currently doing ba (bachelor of arts) and I would have time for it. so.... i dunno what to do. cause a bfa would look really good on a resume, but going far in german would as well...... hmmm.......
so that was my last class of the day - i have philosophy later but I am not going because it is just review, and he said it is optional, and the review for the midterm didn't help me at all, and my notes are really good, and when i was looking over the sheet i knew the questions, so..... i am done with classes! yay!
after that I came back to my room, and napped. well, kinda. maybe for about an hour. I just kinda layed there with my ipod on, listening to my "relax" playlist - aka music that is slower, or that i just feel like listening to when i feel like relaxing and such - so i drifted in and out of sleep, and when i was awake, i just kinda thought about stuff. so now i am in a really mellow, contemplative mood, which is good i guess. I just get tired of thinking about some things that are bothering me becuase I just go around in circles, thinking bascially the same things and coming to basically the same conclusions. so yeah. haven't decided yet if all this thinking was a good or bad idea, because i still haven't really decided what to do about some stuff. well, one thing.
but yeah, don't feel like writing about it here.
i am gonna go to lunch in a little bit with richter and erin, and after that i am gonna go up to cohen (art building) and work on my lamp project. For my final project in that class, we have to build a lamp. Fuly functional etc. So usually, classes have about a month, month and a half or so to work on this. My class got a week. Fun? no. Technically we got half of a class to present ideas to him and have him modify/reject/ok stuff, and then we got one class to have him show us how to use the woodshop and other tools and stuff. so basically, the lamp is still just drawn out on this big piece of wood i have, waiting to be cut out, and it is due on tuesday. I am also kinda stuck, because Kelly (my teacher) said no one could use the saws etc without him there, so I have to go up there and wait for him to have free time to help me use them. fun. this is gonna take a while. So, I am going to attempt to do that later today. We shall see how that goes. I hope my lamp turns out cool though, in my head it looks really cool - the little model has potential. but we shall see i guess.

it's late....

so.... it's late, and i can't really sleep. I already tried for about the past half hour. I am just not sleepy. I am ready for summer. I have one week of classes left, and then three days of exams (i don't have any on monday, and my last one is on thursday). I leave on friday to go home. I am excited to go home, I am getting tired of being here. I love the people here, but I need a break from some of them. I can't wait to see all of stl friends again, and hang out with them. It wasn't too awkward over breaks and things, so I hope the summer will be fun. Working won't be - I think I am going to work three or four days a week from 9 to 3 at the cardiology clinic filing paperwork, like i did last summer. whoopee. But at least it is easy, I don't have to deal with bitchy people, and I get paid pretty well. So hopefully that won't be too terrible, and I won't go insane. I can just see myself sittin in a corner reciting my abc's over and over again. Last summer I even started to do it in my sleep a little bit. I am hoping the ipod will help this summer, it did help for the few weeks that i had it last summer.
I packed up some of my stuff today. winter clothes and some random things like my art stuff from last semsester, and some things from my desk that I don't need, like random books and such.
My keyboard is annoying me. I think I got something under the keys on accident, and it keeps moving, since I have my computer on my lap a lot and stuff, so random keys don't work very well sometimes. At the moment it is the ; key. Not that I use the key very much, but it is frustrating when I press it on accident, and thinking that it is the correct key, I keep hitting it until it works.... and i realize it was the wrong key to begin with. I think when I give Petey over to the mac people to fix him (the ethernet plug is messed up - therefore disconnecting me when i move the computer slightly. which is why i sign on and off aim A LOT. Sorry if it bugs you :)) I am also going to see if there is any way that they can clean under the keys, I mean they have to basically take the whole thing apart, so how hard would a little keyboard cleaning be? hmm?
oi.
still not sleepy.......
ok, well this obviously isn't making me any sleepier. so goodnight all.

who do i look like?

(i stole this idea from peter)

my heritage has a face recognition thingy where you can compare your face to this database of celebrities and find out who you look like.
so i do
(here is the pic i used)


so it tells me that i look like:
Isabella Rosellini (74%) - she looked kinda odd, so we are gonna skip that one and pretend like it didn't say that.
Kristin Kreuk (67%) - you know, the girl from the wb's superman show.
Rachel Weisz (66%) - Mummy Returns, About a Boy, Constantine, etc etc
Reese Witherspoon (64%) - i really don't think you need a description.
Anne Hathaway (64%) - Brokeback Mountain, Princess Diaries, etc
Mary Kate Olsen (64%) - its a really old picture of her (like at age 13), but whatever.
Audrey Tautou (54%) - Amelie
Eva Longoria (53%) - Desperate Housewives

I am not so sure about all those, but whatever, I take some of them as a compliment. lol. I have always been told that i look kinda like Christina Ricci as well, but who knows. :)

ok, so an update from yesterday's post - back to working on the wheelchair probably. i had class today, and the girl was there, but Mike (the guy) wasn't. We left a message on his phone for him to call us, but who knows. Kailin (the girl) is actually doing a lot of work now. She is making the wheels, so I am not mad at her anymore. I am pissed at Mike. But Kelly (my teacher) today was talking to me and Kailin because he can tell that Mike hasn't been around and is doing like no work, and so he was like "make sure you write all of that in your evaluations, because I want to know the truth." and he was saying that we each get individual grades, and if he did no work, and what we did does look good etc etc we would get a good grade, and he would end up with a shitty one probably, if he doesn't pick it up and actually start working. The due date was pushed back - one class day. Which doesn't seem like much, but it will really really help a lot. So that is good, but I am still probably going to go up there and work on it tonight.

Death by Cardboard

So I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. Life has been kinda crazy. I have been working almost non-stop on a 3-d project. It is a group project, but my group is involved in sac and there was a guster concert here this weekend, so they were really busy for the entire past week and didn't work on it at all. So I have been building a full size wheelchair all by myself. full size, as in 3 feet tall, and out of cardboard. Yup, life was pretty shitty for a few days there. But, I have talked to my group, and now that guster is over, they have told me (literally) to stop working on it and they will finish the rest. so I am takin it easy now. finally happy to be done with that dumb thing. hopefully it will look awesome, cause the half scale looked cool. but yeah, life outside of 3d has basically been sleep. but hopefully it will get better over break, and then right back to the grind for another 2 weeks and then the 4 days of exams. then SUMMER! wooo!! I am excited. ok, enough for now :)
