Summer is starting to pick up a bit. This is the week that many of my friends are home so I've been having a good time visiting with them. Unfortunately, by monday most people will have gone to summer school or are out of town. The other day Lexi and I went on a grand adventure to Mel's Diner. For some reason we couldn't find the Sunset strip and ended up on an hour long detour towards Malibu. Yesterday I went down to UCLA to visit connor, scott and stephen who are still at school. They were having a Carnival of Desserts where they had all these booths set up and were giving away all sorts of desserts. We waited in line for a caramel apple, but they ran out before we could get to the front of the line. I think I'm a little too obsessed with caramel apples for me own good, but it is definitely my favorite dessert. So instead I got a cotton candy with its sugary goodness. After the carnival thing, we all decided to go see Star Wars. This was my first time going to the movies since early March. It's amazing. It's gotten so expensive that I only go when there's something I really want to see and there just hasn't been anything to peak my interest lately. I'm glad I went to see Star Wars though. I liked it better than the other two prequels and I still believe that Hayden Christensen is very cute, even if his acting is pretty flat. My only regret is that I decided to break in my new shoes the day I was going to ucla. Their campus is so huge and spread out and we walked a bunch. My feet hurt, but they feel fine today and I think the shoes are sufficiently broken in now.
In the meantime I've been reading a lot and have wanted to bolster my portfolio seeing as I have this month off. I'm really in need of a slide projector to do this cool art project, so if anyone has one I can borrow, please let me know!! I guess I've been rejuvinated by the idea that I may need to put together a portfolio if I continue on with school, or even if not then I'll need one for interviews. I think I've figured out my grad school dilemma. What I am going to do is apply to all the grad schools I'd want to attend, then I'll hear back in March, then if I get a scholarship or if it's somewhere I can't pass up I might go, and if not then I still have plenty of time to find a good job. The only thing lost if the application fee, and that's worth spending I think.
This is one of the graphic design pieces I've been working on this week. It's a 360 panorama of my freshman dormroom which I am painstakingly illustrating in photoshop. It's driving me crazy now, but I think it'll be worth it and look nice when it's done. It's not complete yet, obviously. I'm not sure what size it'll appear as here.
