College, Violin, and Other Stuff

So yesterday I went with a friend because she wanted to take photos of me. We went to Cora's for lunch, and I was super late because the bus schedule changed, and I have the old schedule, and the buses I was waiting for no longer exist in that time frame. I stood waiting for an hour. It was great. We took photos around the town square, and a little museum that neither of us knew existed, on a corner where there was a bench, and in a graveyard. Now we were very respectful while in the graveyard. She asked me to bring my violin along, so I did. I set the case on the grass, not on a tombstone, and I did not lean on any either, there were gates, and what not so I used those. As we were taking photos a group of people showed up, we had noticed garbage, and such on the ground, and even graffiti on a grave, we both wished we had a bag to put the garbage in. Along comes this group of people to hang out in a graveyard with food, and what not, fine, but not really cause they were sitting on top of a flat tombstone, and I know they were going to leave their garbage behind. We moved to the other side of the graveyard, took a few more photos, and then left. I am severely disgusted by people like that, no respect what-so-ever.
As I was leaving for lessons my roommate who also just bought a camera took a few photos of me as I was leaving for my violin lessons that night.
The day also involved several people asking me for directions, to the university which I don't really know how to get to, and a Liqour Store. I am really bad at giving directions, and taking directions though, so I hope everyone found the place that they were looking for.
Violin lessons felt very fast, and that makes me a little sad. I have learned the theme of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star though. I am going to work very hard. I love this instrument.
I should probably mention after finishing my Foundation Visual Arts last year I decided to go into Textile Design. I enjoy the classes a lot so far. There is an Photoshop, and Illustrator class though Photoshop isn't too hard, it is going to be Illustrator that is hard. A class about colours, and patterns. A class that is divided into sections: Weaving, Machine Knitting, and Dye Methods, and that will continue next semester too, and involve more fun stuff. I am in Weaving, and then Machine Knitting, and then Dye Methods. Setting up the loom was pretty crazy, and I messed up several times but it was pretty awesome. I also had to pick a drawing elective so I picked Watercolour.
My poor Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen no longer works so I inquired on how much a new pen would be, and it is the same price as a new tablet so I replaced it with the Bamboo Splash which is in the newest set of the Bamboo Family. It works a lot faster than my old one. My Bamboo Fun had a good life, and it probably would have been better if I didn't drop it on the floor so much. My Bamboo Fun was white which I was excited for at the time because I still had my little white net-book, but I am glad to have a black tablet now, and even the work space is a little bigger.

Semester Two On a Roll

The first week of semester two has ended.
I only have two of the same teachers, and I am in a different group from my friends. That is kind of good for me because now I am more focused again. A teacher I had last semester pointed this out for me.
The Creative Process course is where we work on our portfolios in the end, and a course where we learn how our own creative processes work. I bought a new sketchbook for this course (I love buying new sketchbooks). I drew something cute, and stuck it on the front.

For drawing I do not know if I am going to miss my drawing teacher from last semester because this semester I have someone to make me better without being a jerk. We started off with gesture drawings, which I did in high school at some point. The teacher reminds me of my high school art teacher.
I am going to miss my 2D Design teacher but I do like the new teacher I have for 3D Design. She is very passionate about design, and is very experienced in the field. She likes to ramble off topic. I am her spell checker, and she also has a time keeper, and a person who keeps her on topic.
History is history, and it is still with the same teacher. Reading the textbook, and then going to class makes it so boring!
Jewelry, and Metal Art I have been scared for but I really think I am going to enjoy it... Everything but the torches. We cut copper in patterns, and I did really good, and I did not break the saw blade which is incredibly thin, and tiny.
Textiles is going to be so much fun. I am making a silk, and felted scarf, and did the felting process today from wool. I am super excited to make scarves.
Textiles I am somewhat excited for.
I am going to miss having Mondays off but I do have Thursdays off, so I guess it is a nice break in the middle of the week.

Halloween Weekend Vacation

I was away for a week! It was great! (Minus work calling)
I left on the later bus Thursday afternoon, instead of in the morning. The bus arrived at it's destination ten minutes late, but oh well. Also it is the later bus that connects to the city, and it never is usaully busy, well it was that day. My friend picked me up, and she was driving her brother's car, so I didn't recognize it because I hadn't seen it before. We hit this freak hail storm (ice pellets if you want to be politically correct). It was insane, and coming down quite hard. When we got home their dog almost knocked me out again. They have a new kitten because their cat disappeared two months ago. :(
Friday I wandered the town, and got lost. (Nothing new there). I was looking for the art store, and I went the wrong way, I was looking for another store but I forgot where the street was, and kept walking in circles for most of the day. We went out for some awesome spaghetti for supper with some others, and then we went to this fantastic haunted house tour fundraiser. Someone left face crayons in the bathroom so we drew the rainbow lines on our face, and we joked around about screaming rainbow when we were scared. It was very well done, and very scary. It is a great fundraiser. We went to a party but it was quite boring. We got ready at another friend's house, and I left half the stuff I needed where I was staying. I spent a few days reading at their place, reading Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking glass which I finished. I started reading Sense and Sensibility. I got in trouble for loitering at a mall... D: I was reading but since I am not from their I don't even know the rules of the mall, or the fact that the mall had rules like that. We went out one night on the town, and it was some great fun. I kind of figured out the Metro Transit system there too.
I met up with my cousins one day, and we out for lunch. We then went to visit graves of some of the family, my Father's grandparents (My Great Grandparents), My Great Aunt, and Uncle, and another two that I don,t know the relation. Also we went to a cousin's grave that passed away last year... After his death I find that my Father's side of the family fell apart.
Good news. I got accepted to New Brunswick Community College of Craft and Design. The letter was sitting on my bed when I got home. I start in Fall 2011. I am very excited, and I hope to be moving in January.
I cannot believe it is already November. I am very excited for 2011.

Update Time!

I was recently informed of some awesome plans, and if they fall through I will be really upset.... It is all about moving next year, and that new college, and friends coming too, and I am so excited. Yay for my head being constantly stuck in the future daydreaming when I am not reminiscing the past or am just living at the moment. :D I am so crazy.
I finally told my father I dropped out... I cannot tell my mother though. I am 19 though, so she can't really stop me. I still haven't officialized (is that even a word?) the drop out. I shall this week Tuesday after work. A few things occurred this week that I had to deal with, ugh male employees. I really need to get my butt in gear.
I have to spend quite a bit of time sleeping so I can get up for m morning shifts, it feels great to be back full-time with counter shifts. Love mornings. I have been sleepy during my night shifts recently too, and I do not like dealing with night shifts.
Also since I am starting to pay student loans, and my credit card, and I have my cell phone bill it should be fun. Yay responsibility, and a job. =D Cannot wait to get my redemption on my glasses, that should help since I put that on my credit. Also some of it was university stuff.
Going away for a week Thursday! I am so excited! Yay! Halloween is coming too!!!!
I have to work for the next four days before though... Oh well. :D

So....

So I paid a visit to my high school today to see if my transcripts were sent... They were sent on the 14th of September, and it is now October 18th... Where are they?!
I am going back tomorrow to see if I can get a copy faxed to the number I got when I called admissions this morning... This is really irritating.
I have not yet officially drop out, as far as the university is concerned, but I am going to do that tomorrow too I suppose. Busy, busy me... Blah.

I Hate All This

I really don't want to be in this town. I don't want to go to this stupid university. I hate it here. I should have never went there, I had help from the most useless person ever picking universities.
I don't want to go back second semester. There is nothing to take. If I take random courses I will fail. If I don't go back I won't get my student loans for the school I am going to in the fall.
I am not going to Japanese I am too upset to go. I am going to work tonight but if I can't do it I am not staying. I can't believe I am such a weak, stupid person.
I hate this. I hate this town. I hate that university.
I want out but I am screwed...
