"I was funkified before, I'm gonna get funkified again!"

i wish i was tired right now. i can already tell tomorrow is going to be a rough one. class non stop from 8:30-1:30 is NOT what i call fun. but only 2 more weeks of bowling and then i'll have an hour gap...and then a week later ice age will be over so then my mornings will be a breeze. yay. i'm thinking this week should be a pretty good one - class and homework all day monday and wednesday, work all day tuesday [which i'm thrilled about], work thursday morning and one class...and then i'm off to the big apple!! i know i haven't stopped talking about it but i'm soooooooo excited. a little nervous to get from laguardia to brian's apartment, but i found a bus schedule online and i think i'll be ok. we don't really have any set plans....which i like, because i'm a 'play it by ear' kind of person. i know we'll hit up the met for a bit, but i'm really ok with just walking around and people watching since i've done all the touristy stuff before.

i've got a midterm on wednesday for e-marketing and i have no clue where to even begin studying. i'm half tempted to just wing it. i have a digital imaging 2 project due on thursday, which i've already completed, so go me! we had to do a non-traditional portrait of someone, so i choose the wonderful andrew mcmahon. here it is:
i kind of like it. more importantly, my teacher likes it, so i should be good to go. i no longer feel like i'm suffocating in a sea of school. i've got a pretty nailed down concept for my logo re-design and now it's just tweaking and stuff on the vector part of it -- the typography looks pretty damn good so says my teacher. last week in pro-photo, i shot food. so now i've got 37 frames that i have to weed through and decide which is the best one to hand in. kind of tedious, but i'd rather shoot digital than with 4x5's any day. it's so much faster and cheaper to do it this way, so i'm glad we've converted. and to be honest, i'd rather just pay a photographer to take the pictures instead of dealing with it. i think this is the shot i might go with, but it might need a little touching up:

i wanted to do a food that was more exciting, but i had to put a lot of limitations on it because i was going to be leaving the house and 7 am and the food was going to need to travel to and form solon and sit in my car for 5 hours. i guess it turned out ok. the muffins were pretty good at least.

the schedule of classes is being 'released' tomorrow morning for the spring. not gonna lie, i'm kind of nervous. first of all, i can't believe that this will be my last time ever scheduling classes. and i only have 4 classes left to take, but i fear that somehow the times will clash and i wont be able to graduate in may. and i really hope that the times work well with me working too. i don't want to quit slash i can't afford to leave. i really do enjoy working there. and the experience is awesome -- much more than i was originally anticipating!

i have to wake up in 7 hours....guess i should force myself to lay down and try and sleep.

NYC IN FOUR DAYS!! :D

Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore...

thank the lord for good music. it's the only thing that seems to keep me sane these days. the new spill canvas cd is phenomenal. seriously, check it out. i'm still searching for the song that andrew mcmahon does guest work on, but i dont mind listening to the cd on repeat to figure it out. speaking of andrew, i feel like we need some new soco or jm music these days.

school makes me want to blow my face off with a glock nine. i dont even know if it's possible but whatever.i hate school. and it's not like," oh this is annoying that i have to be in class instead of watching tv or hanging out with my friends"...it's more like "i'm going to shoot my fucking face off because i absolutely hate every single aspect of every single class i am enrolled in." there is nothing enjoyable about this semester. except bowling, now that i can actually bowl and i stopped pulling the muscle in my ass. i bowled a 129 on monday! but that class is ending in 2 weeks. i started the ice age class on monday and that was stupid. i feel like i'm going to be skipping it often. i think i can get a D in it and it still wont affect my gpa because it's only a one credit class.

i think i'm going to go apple picking this weekend. david told me about this place in kent that i think i want to check out. i think they have pumpkins too, which i want to carve and then also bake the seeds. yummm. there goes the diet out the window. i also maybe want to go to the art museam. its so bizarre...i really crave doing things that i'd normally do with my parents. i'm already looking sooo forward to my trip to florida with mi madre in january. the flight has officially been booked.

we're using brand new digital cammys in my pro photo class and i want one sooooo bad. but a decent low end SLR goes for about $1200 these days. and i don't really have that kind of money laying around. i need to get my piece of shit nikon fixed before my warrenty is up. maybe i'll do that when i return from nyc. it still takes decent pics in the daylight. the flash just doesn't really work.

i can't wait for thursday. thats what i live for these days. a new episode of greys. and then going to thursdays to dance the night away. i. cant. wait. and i get to sleep in on friday because i've got the stupid ice age class so i wont be going into work until noon.

LA Ink always seems to be on tv when i'm trying to fall asleep [which has been quite a job these days] and watching it always makes me reeeeeeally want a new tattoo. not that i really know what i want, the location on my body, the place where i'd have it done at or the fact that i have no money for one, but i just want one anyways.

i hate that i'm so bitter and cynical these days. maybe it's the weather? i'm sick of summer. yeah, i said it.
