You know how in my last post I said I decided to double major? You know how in that intro up there it says I'm indecisive? Yeah. Well. I'm not going to double major anymore. I'm just going to switch to digital illustration with a minor in 3D animation. For real this time. I think. I'm pretty sure. I think. No... Yes. For certain. Almost.
Anyway, I can't believe I'm in my second semester already! This is really weird to think about, so I usually don't. Is it me, or does life REALLY fly by? Oh, well. What's important is that I like more of my teachers this time around. I wasn't a big fan of my art history professor, so I registered for a different class (college is awesome that way). My new professor is really interesting. It might also be that it's no long 8:30 in the morning, but she really does keep my attention better. She speaks with enthusiasm and genuine interest. And the material isn't really that dry anymore. Prehistory up through the Renaissance pretty much sucks (except for the Greco-Roman stuff). We're almost to IMPRESSIONISM. I'm so excited =D
So, I have this really cool teacher for two of my classes: design drawing II and imaging for digital media. He's Chinese, and he shares stories about his homeland all the time while we work! It's so cool! He moves really fast, and I get nagged at a lot to work faster (because I'm really slow at stuff), but I know that his fast pace is actually a blessing in disguise. The ability to work quickly is a valuable asset in the working world, so I don't mind being pushed like that. I kind of appreciate it. Also, he says I'm really good! =D Last class, we learned foreshortening and had to draw a bone (a real, physical bone... at least they were clean). We had to add shading and could add color if we wanted (I opted out of color, I knew I'd ruin it), and he said mine was really good! He used it as an example for the class after mine XD (he had another DDII class).
Long story short, I'm every bit a small town girl here in the city by myself. I need to buy groceries tomorrow or I won't get the chance again until Friday, and I personally don't want to live off of rice for four days. What's holding me back is the fact that I'm nervous about it because I have to take the bus and it's cold and it snowed all night last night and I have to carry everything (the bus stop is several blocks away).
