I'm Going to be a Busy Bee.. or Owl.

School has started back up for me as of yesterday (woohoo, yippee!) Just from being in class yesterday, I can tell I'm going to have a lot on my plate. This week and next week I work 5 days, which is good money wise but that leaves little time for anything else other than work and school. I'll be working during the day and then going to class at night (Hello sleepless nights). Hopefully it won't be too bad, but coffee will definitely be my best friend for the next couple of months. A little while last week I just did a quick little owl that I thought was adorable.

Its funny I didn't plan on him being blue but it just happened that way. I don't know what it is recently but everything I pick is some type of blue. Off to class I go!

School Work Logos

I always say that I am busy but its hard to understand how busy I am if you don't see what I have been       up to.  Here are some of my logos from the previous quarter that I created at school.

I'd have to say the Catfish Sam's logo was a little more difficult than the rest of them. It was an interesting project. My professor wanted me to make it look very rugged and not very attractive looking, which I tried to do mind you, but it just wouldn't work. I'd do it the way that he wanted and then he wouldn't like it (probably went through that a good 6 times). Thats when I finally just completely changed it to where the whole body was visibile and then manipulated the typeface. It was a fun process to say the least. :)

P.s. For some odd reason the first two sentences won't align to the left, its even in the html to do it and no matter what I do it won't stop being centered.  -_-

Exercise With Some Thriftiness on the Side

  Woke up at 6 this morning to go on a bike ride with my Mom. We rode about 4 miles (I think), I can't remember what the thing said when we got back. I have made the decision to get up at 6 everyday and fill up my days with stuff so then they will go by faster. I'm hoping they will at least, either way I'll be pretty productive.
  OH! I talked to my person for the apartment and we get to move in on the 8th of August!!! :D I am so incredibly excited! We got an upgraded one too! She hooked us up! AHHHHHHH!! I'm still so happy today which makes me even more happy lol. Monday night we went to one of my mom's really good friends house and got crystal glasses for a buck a piece!! Talk about a steal man! They all match too :). I have plenty of wine glasses in storage but no crystal! I also bought 2 cute bar stools that are black so they will match the rest of my furniture AND they have backs. :D Oh goodness I hope I'm not killing you with all my happiness, haha.
  I had my Intro to Web class yesterday, and there was a guy in my class that went to China during our summer break. I thought that was pretty cool, not everyone goes to China. I would like to some day, I wanna see where my great great grandma lived and her mom before that and so on. Well he told me and another guy, who is in my group, that he stopped in Korea on the way up there and while he was up there he bought cigarettes. Before I go on, yes I smoke, I know they are bad for me so please don't preach to me. I understand the risks. Plus Chris is way ahead of me on this one so I've got to catch up :P (he has been smoking since he was 13 so..). Back to the guy who went to China.. He offered one just so I could try it. I must say it was much better than American cigarettes, like not as chemically (if that is even a word, there is no red line so it must be one). It also left a sweet after taste in my mouth which is very odd. Needless to say I've been looking to see if I could find them online, I'd much rather smoke those.

  I wish I knew what the name of them, Arirang is the name of the company that makes them.
Also yesterday Jasper got in trouble and so both Toby and Busa ran to my room to hide/get away. They didn't do anything bad so I don't know why they were hiding. Busa was in my doorway trying to look to see what was going on I wish I took a picture of it, he was being really cute. Toby just came in here and laid down but looked out the door with his ears perked up. Eventually Busa went and hid under the bed and Toby continued to lay in the same place but not in an alert manner.

   Here is Busa under my bed with the cow that mooooooo's.

  Then there is Toby who is holding on to a toy that has no stuffing left. I love my doggies :).
I was doing my homework and Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World started playing, and Busa immediately shot his head up to look at the speakers and then tilted his head in confusion. I use to have that as my ringtone for the longest time. If he could talk he would be saying that's not what it normally sounds like, I haven't heard this in a while, and Mom why aren't you answering your phone.
I'm going to start my day off by doing some homework and hopefully creating stuff, but we will see. Have a good day lovelies!!

1st Day of Summer Quarter

I am now off of summer break (which was only 3 weeks) and back at school. I am glad to be back in school though. I can never handle extensive amounts of time with nothing to do. I remember back in grade school (I sound like an old woman haha) the summer was always so long and by the middle of it I would just want to go back to school so I would have something to do and get to see my friends. Well this time I don't want a whole lot of time to do nothing, mainly due to the fact that I miss my hubby a whole bunch. I do wish I had more time, like while I was in California, to make things so I could show y'all. I hope that will happen this quarter since I am not taking 17 credit hours this time (Praise the Lord). I am only taking 13 credit hours so it should be a breeze.

I haven't had a good pass couple of days but everything is starting to look up. I did a small devotional this morning from our daily bread website. The one for today, July 11th, specifically says "Focusing on what’s wrong can cause us to miss everything that’s good." Which the recently I have had a real big issue with. Its like I got smacked in the face and made me realize that all my energy needs to be used better. So today was a good day :), at least so far. My roommate for upstairs texted me a little bit ago and said that the a/c was out, again. Keeping positive, keeping positive. Just looks like I wont be staying there tonight so I wont be finishing the rearrangement of my room, darn. It has been way too hot up there anyways which didn't help my mood all last week. I could not stop sweating when I was trying to sleep. Anywho..  I don't have any pictures to post, I should have some later though. 

Crossed fingers for some change

Saturday I had an interview with a couple who own a non-profit organization that teaches kinds life skills and how to cook, amongst other things. We had a really good chat and they told me what they are all about and it sounds really, really exciting and I am hoping that I get this job. It will be my first graphic design job. :) I go meet up at one of their events tomorrow to see what they do. I hope, I hope, I hope I get it!!

I have got to skype with Chris a couple times, which was really nice. Last time we only got to skype once and that was right before he got to come home. I'm sending him a couple more carepackages tomorrow. :)

If anyone would like to send him a package let me know and I can send you the address. I'll post some of my work that I have done this week so y'all can take a peek. :)

Good night lovelies,

School work: Perspective city

I was getting ready for bed and realized I didn't post anything!! I'm trying to get it to where y'all have things to read on a daily basis and hopefully y'all enjoy it. I missed a day in my perspective class so I had to do my perspective city. Here it is, in its very rough form.

There are 2 spots on my mirror in my camera that I can't get off! It has been driving me crazy and I can't get it off for the life of me. Hopefully I can upgrade soon. lol

Well good night lovelies :)

My Great Grandma's: Floral braclet

I absolutely love this bracelet, but I'm not quite sure if it fits anymore. I love the colors, the flowers and the birds.

Yesterday was a heck of a day! I had school from 8 - 5, so my mom and I car pooled. School was interesting I had to do a typography logo that represented us so this is what I did. Granted it didn't take me very long; but I decided after I was at school that I wanted to change it to just a M and have it more of a brush stroke than what it is here.

 

I have a little more to catch up on in my perspective drawing class. I didn't realize how hard cylinders are to draw in perspective.. it took me a good 20 minutes to just draw 1! So I will def have to practice. I have to draw a city for next week, Ill definitely be working on that tomorrow.

Today I found out that my schedule still hasn't officially been changed..hopefully I can get that fixed pretty soon since this is the end of the 3rd week. I'm just excited to be home is all. I've been so busy I haven't been doing that good of a job on my postings. :/ sorry.

As of last night I once again have a Facebook so if you would like to be my friend and/or talk here is my Facebook.

Relief and Pretty Nails

Today my transcript finally made it to the Dallas school!  My schedule changed so now I don't have a night class! It makes me so happy! Also, I'm in Writing 1 which is a normal writing class not a remedial English! Today was a good day if I do say so. So I don't have to take Layout design anymore! Thank Goodness! I did do the work for the class just in case things didn't work out today. The first part we had to use the shapes given and make something out of it and then the second one is creating a name plate with 2 graphics and the text given. I forgot to put the line at the bottom of it that represents the phone and address. All was hand rendered so now that I look at it on my screen my text is all over the place, so I'm glad that it wasn't turned in now. 

I also changed my nails the other day and they change to pink in the sun! So cool! They are white while not in the sun so either way they are really cute :).
