HOME!~ Updates, Finals, and To-Do List
Mar. 21st, 2009 08:13 pmHaven't be updating the last few days, but you know how it is with finals and stuff... Anywayz, yesterday I finished in the morning and then headed home at 4:30pm. Got to Oceanside around 9-ish and got picked up and went home.
Anywayz.. Update on the last few days!
On Wednesday, I procrastinated in the morning, then went over to Teresa's place (she lives next door to me!) to study for ARCH 307. Got through like, half-ish of the study guide, then Niki came back and emailed Teresa all the answers she got and yeah.. Ordered pizza to eat since we were hungry, then continued to study -- more like procrastinate -- for the rest of the night. But yeah.. basically, I didn't really study that much after Niki gave us the answers, lol. ^_^;;
On Thursday, I woke up semi-late at 10:00 and then tabbed my MEEB book for the ARCH 307 final (since the test is open-book), then read through the answers we came up with. Then it was time for my test at 1:00, so yeah.. The test was okay -- he posted the scores later that night, but I didn't do as hot as I thought I would. I got a 45/51, which is a B, so yeah.. Freakin' Teresa sucks -- she got a perfect. x_x I hate her -- she's one of those people who almost always sets the curve! >O Makes me feel dumb hanging out and studying with her, lol. XP
After the ARCH 307 final, went home and procrastinated for like, two hours because I had to finish watching Meteor Garden, lol. I only had two episodes to go! So yeah.. Meteor Garden -- not as good as the hype. I thought Xiao You and Xi Men would be cute together, lol. I totally was more into their relationship than the main relationship. ^_^;; But yeah.. I thought Shan Cai was kinda annoying and Dao Ming Si was WAY annoying and I didn't really even want them to get together in the beginning and yeah.. Totally not interested in watching the sequel...
Had to work on my KINE 323 project and reflection after I finished watching Meteor Garden 'cause they were both due on Friday at 7:00am. x_x I had started my project earlier (on Tuesday, probably) and I saved it on my Desktop, but then my Illustrator crashed. I thought it saved though, so I was like whatever about it and didn't check. Then, I had to start working on the project again, so I was looking for the project and yeah.. I searched forever for it -- even used the search function to search my computer and yeah -- nothing. x_x So disappointing! Had to start all over. x_x And yeah.. my project could have been way better, but whatever.. I didn't want to put more time and effort into it 'cause I still had an essay to write afterwards, so yeah...
Click to see bigger and to read the explanation..
After finishing my project, I totally procrastinated and re-watched the first episode of Full House, the Korean drama, not the American TV-show. After going through the first episode, I figured I had to definitely start writing my paper, so yeah..
Basically, I procrastinated with the help of YouTube while working on my paper. x_x Watched a BUNCH of Wilber Pan music videos and yeah.. ^_^;; I ended up pulling an all-nigher because of all my procrastination. x_x I could have slept, but I was scared that by the time I finished, I wouldn't be able to get up for class, so I decided to play it safe and not sleep for the hour and a half I had before I needed to get up and stuff...
On Friday morning, set off for school and we had to do teacher evals before we got into our groups to present our projects. I think that people kinda liked mine, but I'm not sure.. Most people had collages or collage-type type stuff for their projects. I think it's kinda lame to do that since you know everyone will do it, but yeah.. That's why I didn't want to do that -- also because I'm not really into going and finding pictures and stuff. XP Obviously for my project, I didn't have to do much research, haha. And I feel like there's an obvious link to something we learned in class without being TOO obvious. Doing collages that basically show how women in sports are portrayed VS men in sports is just too in your face, IMO. Also, it's not very original.
I kinda wish I did something more abstract, like Teresa, but then I would feel like I was copying her. Her project was like, also on the mosaic of identities, but she did a very abstract painting thing that had some colors and them coming together to make the black (and you can obviously figure out the way she explained that, lol) and yeah.. I would think that the professors would probably like something like that more just because it's out of the ordinary and creative. For me, I think there are two ways to see a project like hers -- either that person is very creative and took a lot of work or the person is lazy and didn't want to do a lot of work. Most people might see it as the former, but I know Teresa and it's obviously the latter. XP Mine is obviously more of the latter as well, but I hope that it seems like I took a lot of work to do it and that it's (hopefully) creative-like. XD And yeah -- it did take some time to do it, because I had to figure out how to put the words together and stuff, but yeah.. And it must seem (at the least) like I took more time than people who just googled, got a bunch of images, and stuck them together...
We finished in KINE 323 at, like, 8:30, then I went over to the key shop to return my studio key, then went home and went into hardcore cleaning mode. Organized my papers, cleaned up my room, did the dishes, cleaned the stove, and vacuumed. I would have done more, but I was REALLY tired by that time, especially since I didn't sleep... Plus, I figured I could sleep on the five-hour drive home. XP
Today, I went to Costco with the family -- I miss Costco so much whenever I'm at school. I mean, there is a Costco in SLO, but I don't have a card and it's far away. Plus, I don't have a car, so it's not like I could buy stuff there anyway, since stuff is in bulk and would be impossible for me to carry back on the bus and walk home. x_x
Also, got to eat good food at home. XD I always miss food from home -- there aren't any Chinese / Vietnamese grocery stores in SLO, so it's hard to get Asian food, and when you DO find Asian stuff in the grocery stores, it's EXTREMELY overpriced. x_x So yeah.. I need to buy a bunch of stuff and bring it back with me, lol. XP
So, my to-do list for Spring Break is pretty time-consuming. ^_^;; But I need to get a lot done this week, so yeah...
To-Do List
- Put together my portfolio
- Update / design my resume
- Create my website
- Watch the last season of ABDC
- Watch Devil Beside You
Obviously the last two items are for fun, but the first three are pretty set-in-stone for me...
Will update more later.
