My courses are pretty intimidating this semester, in a good, go-get-em' girl, kind of way. I have a digital sculpture class, a sustainable design class, and a sculpture mechanics class. I also have a "second skin and softwear" design class but it was canceled this week so I don't find out about that until later. I had to add the sculpture mechanics class so that I could be a full-time student despite already feeling like the first two classes could fill up my time if I involved myself the way I have been this school year. The design classes are probably going to be bittersweet because while they are things I am interested in, they are mostly review of content I've already been exposed to. The task seems to be to get over knowing most of what is being lectured on, and put it into practice in a way more advanced than I have before. Also to ignore the bullshit. It is a dull but worthwhile task.
I feel like I take studio arts courses to keep the design courses from destroying my soul. I really don't find how awesome Helvetica is relevant to my design or art practice. This semester is optimistic; it would seem my design profs are fairly top notch (also, both REALLY into sewing.) Also, learning how to better walk the sustainable walk has always been a top priority and will get lots of attention this year. It's been nice to have school progressively become what I am doing with my hands and brain, putting theory into practice, and less with "essays" on subjects I don't care to exhaust. My ten page reports aren't expanding the boundaries of any academic field.
HaHAH, I am ignoring mentioning the co-prof for my sustainability class who is a big poop and I will probably spend the entire semester ignoring him anyway. Unless he says something awesome and enlightening which he will not because he is a poop.
Zaphod loves this shovel that we have at the front of the house, he lays right beside it and is always sniffing it. He tries to get under it, he is so weird.
It is Karisa's birthday TODAY and, holy crap, it will be ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kneaded_human's on Sunday. |
