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.

The Weather is Warming Up

Photography is great, and I got to take some amazing pictures while I was home for March Break. Fashion we drafted a pattern which I was done in no time. I still remember how to do it apparently. We are making pants, and a project of our choice limited to the patterns for things like little bags, and such. I basically have the boring Fashion class. :( I am going to be going into Fashion Textiles next year hopefully. We are already back into a week after March Break but we have about 5 weeks left of classes. :O Scary.
I have made some new friends lately. One girl is a Lolita, and the other is another artist who is part of the administration at a new art school in the city. It is great. :) There is also another girl who I befriended because she is one of my friends friend's.
The weather is warming up, and I am very excited. I love spring so much because it is warm. I went to the Saturday Farmer`s Market, and had a lot of fun with my friends. I found fudge made with liqueurs, they boil it down so there is only the taste, and no actual liqueur. I bought maple butter for the first time as well, and I am super excited to try it. They also had a lot of apple cider which I got some. It is always fun to go, and get breakfast there, and just look around.
I played pool the evening before at a Dooly's I consider very fancy, and it was a lot of fun. I was on a team that we lost the three rounds, I sunk the 8-ball in the first round to soon. It was very enjoyable.
Played Luna Game 5, and the last part was too large to load on my computer. I have played all of them.
So apparently Acadian is going back for negotiations with the help of a mediator April 29th-May 1st. I really hope they resolve it because it would be nice to travel minus all the hassle of finding a way back to my hometown, and from there back to the city.

Been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift lately, her, and LIGHTS are my favourite singers.

March Break, and Life Updates

I finally finished watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I really don't know why someone didn't tell me to read them in middle school, or why I didn't see the movies until now. They are great though, and I love them.
We are over halfway down second semester. I am in Fashion, and Photography, and I was just in Metal Arts, and Textiles. I really enjoyed Metals though I would never be able to do that as a profession. I really enjoyed textiles, and my favourite was the surface designing which I am hoping to go into next year. I am doing black, and white photography on an old analog film camera, and I cannot wait to be in the dark room. Foundation year fashion is so boring, and I had a sewing machine that kept screwing up on me. I used a Surger for the first time, and I floored it no matter how careful I tried to be with it. I need to get my portfolio done soon.
I went home for the March Break to do Income Tax with my Father, and see my friends, because I do not know when I will be around home next. Tuesday I went to Lunch with one of my friend's mother because my friend is in another province, and I brought my iPod Touch along so she could Skype with her mother. :) We wandered around town a bit, and I seen a few people I was hoping not to see. I seen my cousin the next day, and her psycho lovebird. It decided to fly around my room, and preen my hair after landing on my head. I went to lunch with a Manager from the McDonald's back home as well. I went out with my friends that I have been friends with since Elementary school, one of them has an adorable son, and one is expecting. We went to lunch, and then went to one of their houses, and we could not get in apparently because she had the wrong key.
I ordered new lucky star origami paper. :) I am super excited because I do not like the current ones that I own. I am also making jellyfish weather charm plushies from Kuragehime (Jellyfish Princess), and they are so cute.
I can't get my own father to come, and get me from the city to bring me home for a few days, but he will drive me back to the city to get rid of me....
I went back earlier than expected because I was needed at work, and I never get called in so why not.
I get really tired of people complaining about their jobs/employers on FaceBook, and such because nine times out of ten they have other co-workers, or their employers on their FaceBook. I do get a good laugh out of some of them though.

I found a musician that really interests me; her name is Lindsey Stirling. She plays an electric violin, and her music ranges from country to hip-hop. She has done covers on several songs including music from The Legend of Zelda, and has her original music out as well. She is amazing, and inspiring. Check her out here! And I left a video below for you to check out too.
