Hello everyone. What's new with you (post comment if you wish)? Well, I'm a busy girl, but it's the long weekend and time to R-E-L-A-X! No drinking for me, though. It's been over a year since any form of alcohol has touched these lips, and I'm going to keep it up. (I mean, with the lack of calories from the sweet Smirnoffs and stuff, I've kept some weight off. When I was a social drinker, I gained 0.3-0.5 lbs. per 2-3 drinks, and that adds up). There isn't much of a reason I'm not drinking, just decided it wasn't worth it.
So, this weekend I'm doing a lot of hanging out. Yesturday, the man and I went to the 400 Flea Market (a big gathering of vendors with lots of different things) and I got 1000 card protectors for $10, and 4 packs of Core Set (Magic the Gathering Card Game) for $16, where they're usually $5 a peice. Then I sorted out lists of the sets on my computer while Kyle slept on my bed. LAZY! lol. He drooled on my pillow, so I laughed. He slept for 2 hours, while I played on my computer. It was pretty cool, I don't mind being on my PC...speaking of which, since I use a Mac at work, I find myself TRYING to use mac commands on my PC, then I realise that, I don't have a Apple/command button, and apple + w won't close documents for me.
Oh well, I might invest in a Mac in the next few years....maybe a mini-mac, so I can switch back and forth between PC and Mac for different things. Especially seeing as to how I'm going into Graphic Design, a Mac might be a good idea.
Also, I found out the four manditory courses that I need to take for first year Graphic Design, and there's a manditory communications (I'll be taking the advanced Work-place), and a mandatory Gen-Ed (have to wait and see what my options are...)
Themandatory courses are:
Graphic Design 1: This is a project-based course involving two-dimensional design. Emphasis is placed on visual problem-solving, studio skills and production of design solutions.
Typograhpy: This course introduces students to letter forms and type applications as they are used by the graphic designer. The course includes typographic terminology, comprehensive rendering of display letter forms, and assignments focussing on use of letter forms as design.
Applied Drawing Techniques: This studio course deals with the fundamentals of representational image making and the application of design elements and principles, as required by graphic illustrators, graphic designers, interior designers and industrial designers.
Quark Xpress 1: This hands-on course will emphasize the capabilities of Quarkxpress as a graphic design tool for both single and multiple page layouts on the Macintosh computer.
I am REALLY looking foreward to this year! I can't wait to get back to the books!
Today, Kyle's going to help me make a new deck, we might go to the lakeshore and walk around, aybe go see Monster-In-Law (yes, Kyle thinks it looks amusing) and we saw Unleased with Jet Li last weekend, and it was pretty good. I recommend it. Tomorrow...prob. the same as today...hang out, go for a walk...who knows.
Anyway, this is probably enough for you to read, so I'm going to call it quits for now. Have a good weekend! And...
HAPPY GAMING!
