Crap. No more chica.
Lego and MUJI in one box? Too much to handle.
Better link here (thanks Brandon).
So glad this week is over. Now it’s break and I can actually do stuff. Watched Objectified in the dungeon while skipping the sit-down dinner (so now I’m really hungry). Good documentary—information about how people go about designing things and the processes. I dislike the art part of it. Maybe I can’t “appreciate art” like I could but so much of it just seems like bullshit. Too many layers of faux-information or context to dot make good art. Nothing should be arbitrary. Don’t make something if you don’t know anything. On that note I did not perform well on my drawing quiz test thing today. Mrs. Goodale doesn’t like how abstract I like to go and then demands more creativity from me. Part of that is my actual skill, part of that is how I look at art in general, and a little bit of that is her. But I’m naïve and don’t know anything.
I’m a little nervous that I’m putting too much time/thought into academics and my scrappy portfolio and not enough into extracurriculars and community service. If I don’t go to art school where will they want me?

Moon soundtrack & a leatherman for mah birthday (it’s still tomorrow, but family visited today), along with a great longsleeve from my little brother, the movie Objectified, a pie (still warm!), a new leather belt, and a lego set (7749). Thank you family.
Now I just have to get through testing week with some semblance of sanity.
I got a surprise last night returning from my shower. I had left Mike & Joe in my room (expecting Mike to show Joe this, tee hee) without any hint of expecting what I would find when I came back. They had made a sneaky run to Target and Kinko’s earlier in the day and filled my room with streamers and ahem certain photos in a flash. Thanks guys. The photos are the best part.
(Tomorrow’s my birthday)
This week sucks. I don’t have all my homework done. I’m not getting enough sleep. Didn’t talk to chica at all. No time to do anything productive. I’m going to stop checking my internets in the evening I think…
Honey Bunches of Oats are there for me at least. Something to rely on. Tonight’s goal: Bed at 10.
This college thing. RISD is quite nice—Providence looks like a great mid-size city (and I would like an urban campus), the school has great studio areas, plus there’s an effortless mesh with Brown so I could still take math or science courses. Or I could go for the dual degree program. But the foundation year really chokes you into a schedule. I don’t know if I can expect something different anywhere else though. University of Michigan’s Product Design program is quite a bit more freeform. Maybe I don’t want that though. Blech, I dunno. I’ll apply to Brown but I wouldn’t go there unless it was through the dual-degree program. So far I’ve visited Parsons, Pratt, UofM, and RISD. Still on my list: Carnegie Mellon, Einhoven (technical institute or design academy? Haven’t decided yet), and University of Cincinnati. BUT IF I DON’T FINISH THIS APUSH ESSAY I WON’T GET INTO COLLEGE ANYWAY SO OKAY I’LL WORK NOW.
