She lives!...mainly because Stan threatened me.  But also because I planned to post during break so here I am.
This past semester was hard. Printmaking and illustration combined took up about 60 hours a week of homework. They say that you can count on about twice as much homework as the number of credit hours in a class. But for art, that doesn't apply. I put in 60 hours in two weeks on my illustration final, and barely finished in time to submit it. It got done, though, and that's what counts. I've also discovered that no matter what the gen ed, it all feels like a total waste of time. Is anyone with me on that one?
This next semester I'll be working two jobs again. I was offered to become a print technician in September, and took the job not realizing that it would make me responsible for over 100 people's homework every night. I run maintenance on the printers (Epson 9800, 7600, 4000, and 3800) and also queue people's prints. Last year everyone handled their own printing, which caused some damage to the printers, prints coming out badly, etc. So...woohoo! I work nights. I also still work in the library in the tech services part. In other words, I stick the call labels to the spine of books. It's a lowkey job...not much stress involved, thank God.
Basically, that's my life in a nutshell. I spent most of last semester in survival mode. In September, I had been having problems and pain in my abdominal area, so I went to the doctor and they found some cysts which had a slight risk of being cancer. Fortunately, they ran some tests and found out that it was NOT cancer, that I was healthy, and they were caused due to stress (best friend's wedding, day camp, Cambodia, back to school, etc). I got put on some meds and it fixed the problem.
Apartment life is nice, but it's also nice still being on campus. I can see why people would want to live off campus, though. I won't be able to live off campus until senior year, which is fine with me. I have a friend that lives in a cute little apartment downtown that looks like it would be nice. We'll see! It's a year and a half away still. ;)
And that's about it for now... I'll try to blog more later and see if I can come up with more interesting things to blog about!
