First week in grad school and its pretty sweet. I thought this space would be tiny but it turns out that its very spacious with my very own acetylene set up. the bathroom stalls are a beautiful yellow, i really like it in there.
I've made a new apron out of canvas, it fits pretty well despite the fact that i didn't really measure anything. It took longer than i thought it would because i broke one of the sewing machine needles and i've never replaced one before, and i lost the instructions.
I've been gold-leafing a lot of stuff, its pretty fun. I'm going to try and make jewelries out of soda cans but i bet it turns out to be more work than its worth.
At Home Marc and Dave have been watching a lot of movies, we've watched "Big Fish" and "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" which is one of Marc's favorites, then they were watching "Ben Hur" this past friday. Marc has been telling a joke about something that happens in there but he's never seen the movie before, i was asking if it had been worth it and he told me that the movie is in two parts so they've only watched half, and they haven't gotten to where the joke comes in yet.
Graduate Seminar looks to be a lot of work, but I'm glad that I've taken a theory class before because its really just another one of those but scarier because its in grad school. It seems a little like jumping in the deep end taking this class 1st semester, but if I'm going to eff up in grad school it might as well be the first semester right?
Somebody is ruining stuff around here. The band saw was left running, but what i think is worse is that someone was using the vacuum-casting machine to vacuum their investment but instead of using the investment side they used the casting side and somehow fill the machine with liquid investment, craziest thing i've ever seen. They've locked the door to that room so I don't have a picture, but I'll get one if I can, its real crazy.
Some kids here are going to Germany for "Schmuck" jewelry thing, they asked if i wanted to go but its the week before SNAG so i can't, i hope people go next year too because that would be pretty awesome. They are also making some kind of cards or advertising thing to hand out at SNAG but i'm supposed to have an image of something that i've made here, so that gives me like two weeks (more like one week now) to get something done.
Ok that was week one of grade school so far so good!
