Ew.... Typography

Ok so I am back at school. It isn't that I hate typography in itself. It is just, I have no interest in comparing several different versions of a font and writing a 500 word paper on the foundries and differences in stroke and serif. Possible differences in the X height and stuff like that. Rather boring.
I had Portfolio class this morning and it is sounding like it is going to go well. We organized our work into three categories which are Raster, Vector and Layout. Otherwise known as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign at our school.
I went home and made lunch for myself :) I made instant Chicken Ramen, Tomagoyaki and Tomago Tomadachi. mmmmm yum! I had green tea mochi for dessert! I am a little ashamed to admit it but there were six or seven left in the box and I ate them all. :/ 
I have been watching You're Beautiful again! I watched an episode while I ate :)
As I said before though, I'm back at school to work on my typography homework form last semester so I should get that done.

Fighting interwebz!

I can breath again! kind of...

I just finished my Advanced Typography final.  Our teacher is super nice and lets us take three hours for an open book test.
Unfortunately for some unknown reason I started freaking out in the middle of the test and started feeling sick.
All is well though.  I am done and I think I did fine. I am very tired though due to me staying up late last night talking to Sephre since she finally got online when i was on!  Yay.  I can't wait for her visit in January!
Can you believe it? Christmas is next week people! Next Week! *sigh* Yay
I am thinking about going home for "lunch" quick even though it is only 10:18am.  I'm hungry!
All I have left to do today:
(all I have left.... *scoff* as if it was a small matter)

Sell sheet for Photoshop
Greyscale Ad for Illustrator
Brochure for InDesign?


I told you this already didn't I........mmmmmm

I am going for lunch interwebz
Don't worry I'll be back

*yawn* Ohayoo

I'm back at school and it is completely deserted.  Perfect quiet environment to get work done.

What I have to do today:

• Finish my Greyscale Ad for AEI
• Take my AT Final
• Redo my Brochure for AEP
• Do my Sell Sheet for AP

So even though that might not sound like much it really is.  I have to start working on it now.

Gambate on your finals if you still have them!

Later Gator interwebz

今日

So..... yeah.  Today.

I woke up 5 minutes before I leave for class.  Pulled on skinny jeans and an over-sized sweatshirt.  Wrapped myself in my scarf and pulled on my boots as I hoisted my backpack onto my shoulder and headed out to my truck.  It was windy and my ears were very cold even through my hood.  I set my coffee on the truck bed side and fumbled with my keys.  I turned the correct one in the lock and pulled.   Nothing happened.  I tried again.  Again nothing.  Both hands took two tries.  Doors that are frozen shut are no fun.  I turned on the truck and flipped the wipers on.  It was powdery snow so it should be fine to just brush it off.  Guess not.  The wipers just kind of twitched instead.  I brushed off the truck and tried the wipers again.  Long story short they now only work on the highest setting and they don't go back down properly so you have to time it just so to get them to stay down.
I got to school for my 8am class and it was good.  I was productive.  I worked on my newsletter quite a bit.  Went home and showered.  Dried my hair and partially straightened it.  Mostly just the two front pieces that I left out of my ponytail.  Same clothes mostly except I switched out the shirt underneath my sweatshirt for a clean one. I went downstairs and made a bowl of spaghetti-Os.  Is that even considered food?  I don't think it is... I did my devotional while eating.  I grabbed the mostly eaten box of frosty nerds on my way out the door heading back to school.
   I got back early and so I started working on my Packaging for Illustrator.  I worked on it for a long time and in class and finished my rough.  I switched classrooms so I was in the one for my next class and went back to working on my newsletter.  I started on the rough for it.  So time consuming!  I have to measure the grid, gutters, margins and general layout and text!  So. Long.
   I went back home and grabbed a rice ball (onigiri) and after talking to my mom for a bit headed off to youth group worship practice.  It went well.  I played piano for this practice.  We had a nice acoustic circle of death at the end and then we were done.
   I headed  to taco bell for some much needed food.  Since my window is frozen shut I decided to skip the drive through and go inside.  I wasn't super sure what I was going to get but I noticed the kids meal toy board had domo toys.  It was decided.  No thought needed!  I got the kids meal and a crispy potato soft taco.  I quickly walked back to my truck and ripped open the toy!  Oh the joy!!!
It is 1:08am.  I am going to bed. I have class.  Stuff to do.
*kisses domo goodnight*

Domo says goodnight to you too interwebz
