update
I haven't journaled i awhile... sorry bout that... no one probably even reads this anymore... anyways an update on things lately... at least the stuff I remember.. Sunday Tiffany and I finally got together! woohoo we actually made plans... we were proud... we went and saw Fever Pitch... it was cute... as are most of Drew Barrymore's movies. We didn't get to spend to much time chatting though since well talking in movies is highly frowned upon... They showed a few good previews like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!!!! Call me a freakin geek but OMG I can't wait... I loved loved loved that book and the movie seems to do some justice to it... and the girl from Gilmore girls is in it! Also there was a preview for Star Wars... yes I like those movies... at least I like Episode 2... but maybe that was because it was some what of a love story and I adored Natalie Portmans dresses... mainly the rainbow one from the beachish scene (funny thing is that is the main thing of the movie that both Tiffany and I remember lol) Tiffany then gave me a ride home and we chatted a bit... we will have to do that again soon... I started school again... joy oh joy... Monday was a looooong day... first I went to intermediate draping where I find out we have a new finished dress due each week... that is pure insanity... but we get to make a bra thing this term!!!! fun! The things we are going to make look decent enough... but stressful and a lot more work... but since the class is only 8 weeks long we get to skip the draping final and only do the written :-D sucks for the other classes hehe... Then I went to this class called Professional Practices for Fashion Design... the teacher is super bubbly... she is in a rock band or something... and she is the lady who designed an entire line of clothing out of bubble wrap... very neat... class is a ton of busy work for homework but seems easy... Tuesday felt even longer than Monday... went to sketching which I actually liked... we get to use color!!! omg it is awesome... very cool stuff... the markers kinda look like watercolor which is neat... I suck at it but am so far enjoying it much more the pen and pencil drawings... and this term we get to design our own clothes instead of using references!!!! finally some creativity! Then I went to History of Costume which seems a decent easy class... no hw, no quizzes... only 1 huge ass project, one midterm and a final... not bad... teacher seems nice... she also teaches at SDSU, mesa, and another JC I think... DR. Latour... y she is teaching about clothing when she has a doctorate beats the hell out of me... I have no idea what she teaches at SDSU though... I think she also teaches music somewhere... so there you have it school thus far... oh and the coolest thing is I will most likely be moving in with Noura in Riverside next year!!! Her parents are going to buy a house and rent it out... so rent would be like 500-600 i think... sounds great!!!! it will be easier to go to school from there then SD and I wont be completely alone... and no Noura will not turn me in to a drunk party girl :-P... this is me we are talking about hehe... and hopefully I get my own room... *hint hint noura* and Steve can come stay with me whenever possible and I can come back to SD on the weekends and it will be great... now I just need money... lots of it... and a car... and license... oh man... kill me... but I am actually not depressed when I think about next year... hopefully it all works out and things with Steve work out and everything is good... Speaking of that cute boy named Steve he is really great... yep... Steve and I are still trying to figure out prom plans... I have my dress... now he needs a tux... and we need dinner reservations and such... we need Noura the unofficial prom planner to help hehe... Well I have been up trying to get some of the hw for sketching done which I am enjoying for once :-D well that wasn't the best update but it was something... there was so much more I wanted to write about but i have sadly forgotten what has happened lately lol |

When Steve droped me off at home today I was walking up the steps to my door when I look up and see a dark shadow in front of me... it takes me a few seconds to realize it is a man... I of course am startled... it's past midnight and some strange guy is standing behind my porch... he just looks at me...smiles... and says hello... I quickly walked in the house... My guess is he is waiting for my brother... wonder if he is still out there because my brother never came home... |

Grades
So far I have: INTRO TO DRAPING & PATTERNDRAFTING: A- FASHION SKETCHING II: B SURVEY OF WESTERN ART II:A- I am still waiting for my English Composition grade to be posted... I am disapointed in that B in sketching cause it is bringing down my GPA :-( Next quarter I will have to makeup for it |
| 3:48 pm |
Sorry I haven't updated much lately... I am been really busy with school and work... Well school is over and I think I should get decent grades... nothing below a B... I got a A- in my Draping class... the rest of my grades haven't shown up yet... The weather today is so wonderful... it's a nice beggining to spring... maybe tomorrow before work I will layout and atempt to get some color into my skin... I look like the living dead... Steve told me I look pale today... nice huh? :-P Spring Break is bloody awesome! No homework... how fucking great is that? The weird thing though is not that I dont have homework I almost want to do things like sketch and sew for fun? Yet when I have to sew for homework it seems like such a chore... odd... I have nothing to do... and it is great... being bored is very nice sometimes... beats being overly stressed... so I am just sitting here listening to Silverchair and thinking about how I should clean my room... but I think I would rather sit here and enjoy the lack of homework... I work alot this week... about 34 hours... but work isn't bad at all... Steve and I are going up to the Mart on friday :-D shopping here I come!!!! This time I want to definitly go to BCBG again... Collins to get some cute jeans... and maybe checkout the gift floor... I wonder what they concider gift type idems... and go to the accesory floor of course... and the guys floor to look at cute things for Steve... I can't wait until I can aford a new computer... a nice one... stupid money... I wish I could drop school and just work... that would be nice... well only 4 quarters of school left!!!! :-D wow this is probably the worst writting ever... completly uncomprehensable... I think I will leave it in spell checked for effect... speaking of writting I got a B on my reserch paper that I wrote in one nice... the paper was good but the stupid bitch of a teacher took the stupidest points off... she took 5 points off just because the requirments for the body of the reserch paper was 6 min... I wrote 5 3/4... That to me is 6 freakin pages... so she took 5 out of 10 points off for formating... grrrrrrr... but hey I worte a 14 page reserch paper in one night and if I wrote like 5 more senteces I would have got an A... bitch... sorry i am bitter... well this poor excuse for an entry is over... adios...

Desert + flower pictures
Last weekend I went to the desert again with Steve and his family... It was fun... started out a bit eh... him being a jerk me locking myself in the 4-runner crying... you know the usual... after Steve made the tent and apologized and I stopped being pissy we kissed and made up... then when things were starting to look up Steve went riding... I wasn't to happy with him leaving without really telling me... more fighting... more crying... then once again we kissed and made up... after that we got along pretty well and things went good... We went out in the 4-runner and drove around... I took pretty pictures of the flowers... Steve went riding I did homework... I devoured almost an entire bag of Reese's peanut butter cups... mmmm... we sat by the fire... Steve got glow in the dark fluid stuff in his mouth... fun times... at night we cuddled up together in the tent... woke up with a very cuddly boy next to me... of course Steve wanted to cuddle and I wanted to sleep... made me a bit grouchy Sunday morning... his mom made pancakes and sausage one day and breakfast burritos the next... hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner... cheese for a snack... mmmm... The weather wasn't the greatest... it was rainy a lot... made little puddles in the tent and ruined my Cosmo magazine... the clouds made it less cold though which was very nice... Sunday night we didn't even use the tent heater... It was extremely muddy... the car got filthy... mainly due to Steve's driving directly through the puddles... That's about it... quick overview of the weekend... Now for pretty flower pictures... trust me they are worth looking at! hehe tell me what u think ( Flower Power ) |

The Good, The Bad, and The Nun
Please bare with me I am typing half blind because I took my contacts out since they were bugging me... So today was horrifyingly bad, yet good at the same time. The bad basically involves me waiting in the rain to get picked up from the trolley stop for a half an hour, crying, fighting, and many other bad things... That's enough with that... moving on... So as for the basics of today... English boring boring boring... I have a B in the class... should be an A after I turn in my redos... moving on... Art history... the bastard made another project for us to do... this one we have to make up a plot line and tell a story through photographs (18 pictures no more no less) I have NO idea what to do or how to do it... anyone who wants to help me in some way... like letting me take here pictures or helping me think of a creative story... please do so... it would be awesome... Then in art history we went to the library to watch a movie... and guess who it was... Sister Wendy the bucktoothed nun! hahaha... oh my... It was almost excruciating to watch 2 episodes... I think we watched one of them in high school... the art she talked about was interesting, but she drives me bananas... haha... so then I had my whole no ride home dramarama... Cried... talked to Steve... cried... Then went with Steve to the mall where I bought my foundation and got a free makeup bag filled with 2 lipsticks, eye shadow, foaming cleanser, body buff, and mascara... very awesome... Then it was off to dreaded Wal-Mart to buy fabric for a halter top... in class we draped a cute halter and I figure if it fits the dress form which is a size 8 it should pretty much fit me... so I got the cute green silky fabric to use... I have to cut that out and sew it this week before class... Then went to La Posta with Steve, Carlo, Matt (thats his name right?) and some girls... mmmm Mexican food... I am still a big fan of Sombreros... mmmmmm... they have better guacamole... and meat... all around better... Then went to Steve's for a short bit... then came home and did a half assed outline for English... now I should be packing... but it is kind of hard when you are pretty much blind... once again excuse my poor writing quality... I will be gone till Monday... leave me messages :-D Current Mood: tired |

Valentines Day
Usually I hate V-Day... When you are single everywhere you go all you see is happy kissing couples... This year I finally got to be part of one of the happy kissing couples :-D It's about bloody time! hehe So after a long boring day at work Steve picked me up and gave me my presents :-D He gave me a little red heart pillow with a small pocket in front... in the pocket was the cutest tinniest teddy bear that said I love you on it... and a small heart frame with a black and white picture of us kissing... it was the same one that I gave him in his frame hehe... and a new card for my camera so it can now hold over 200 pictures :-D I love it all and I love Steve... hehe Then I went back to my house grabbed my stuff and went back to his house to get ready... This is where we encountered problems... the bra I bought wasn't working out... it wasn't like the other one I had for prom... so it was super un comfy and I was scared it would come off... after redoing my makeup and brushing my hair we took a few pictures and left... then my straps started bugging me... a lot... after much complaining and bitching (sorry Steve) I found a ribbon in the backseat and used it to tie my straps together so they would stay up... yeah I know how ghetto? my hair covered it though... We walked around Sea Port Village for a hour or so taking pictures and we shared a Ben and Jerry's fudge brownie ice cream... mmmmmm... Then we headed back toward the restaurant... I am sort of familiar with downtown from all my walks looking for food... so we decided to park at Horton Plaza and walk since neither of us had change for a meter nor did we want to pay $5 to park... When we got to the restaurant there was a line to get in! No other places had lines! so after we waited in line and checked in they seated us right away... Neither of us are used to fine dinning... so we keep eyeing the small print in the corner of the menu that says there will be a 18% gratuity charge minimum added is $50 a person... eeeek... sounds scary... Steve got some Ravioli with sea food in it... and I got Ravioli Rossini... mmmm... it was delicious! We also had a coupon for a free desert so we got Tiramisu... mmmm... too our surprise dinner was under $60... We walked back over to Horton and walked around the stores a bit... went in Sharper Image and sat in the massage chairs which really aren't enjoyable... they hurt! We then saw a photo booth and got our picture taken... If we had more time I think I would have convinced Steve to get our picture drawn at sea port Village hehe We left Horton and went back to his house for a little bit and changed then watched a little of the Grammies that his parents had taped... I was ubber disappointed in Green Days performance... they sound 1000000X better in concert! Then I got my red rose from him and went home... that was my Valentine's Day :-D Now for what you have all read through this boring stuff for... PICTURES!!!!

School rant
I haven't been updating much cause I haven't had much free time... busy busy busy... I feel like homework is my life... Seriously it is not fair for a teacher to give you homework that takes maybe a total of 30-40 hours to do! In sketching the homework last week was to draw a composition with 5 complete figures wearing simple ballet shirts, and each had to have different pants... jean, Trouser, Capri, elastic, and a flat front... one of those 5 had to be a historical redesign... 3 had have a texture: Jean, tweed, corduroy... they all had to be shaded... pen shading... with a light side and a shadow side... no cross hatching... only hatching... they had to have different hair styles, faces, hands, and shoes... You then had to put a border or something to pull the figures together and create eye movement... this alone tool me from the time I work up Monday until I went to bed... Then a good five hours on Tuesday... This is only Part 1 of the assignment... Part 2 is... 9 flats of pants... 3 from the book, 6 from magazine references... they all need to be in pen and you need crisp lines using your French curve and ruler... They need to draw for the scale of the flat croquis in the book... each pair of pants needs a front and back... so thank makes 18 drawings of flats... THEN You have to also do the Ralph Lauren pants from class... front back and side... that makes 21 flats total... so let me put this in perspective... each flat needs to be drawn first to tracing paper... then traced to make a back view... and changed slightly... the sides need to be perfectly symmetrical and ALL of the stitching and construction needs to be shown... then they need to be traced onto your final page and have perfect lines or the teacher will give you a 20 minutes speech on how to use a ruler... this assignment took me till late Wednesday night... Which then leads me too not getting my sewing notebook done... or my sleeve... which leads me too a 66% in Intro to Pattern Drafting and Draping... which means if I fail it I have to pay $600 to take it again and be far behind everyone else because it isn't offered next quarter and I can't take intermediate until I pass into... fuck... I have NEVER had this kind of situation before... I have never had a grade so low.... I have never been under so much fucking stress!!!!! I am seriously reconsidering my major here... I mean I absolutely LOVE fashion design... I just don't know how I can handle these long hours of homework... I talk to other people at FIDM who have already gotten Bachelor Degrees in majors like Journalism and other completely different fields who say they never had this much work... I talk to people who went to Junior colleges and universities who say that was easier... fuck this shit... I am sooooooooooo sick of being up till 3am Wednesday night trying to finish homework I have been working on all week... I am headed from some sort of burnout or break down... I tried to start more homework and every time I tried to start it I wanted to cry... I HATE school... sure it has it good points... and it's what I want to do... but I can't take anymore... I would drop out in a heartbeat and go to a JC like everyone other lucky son of bitch... but I have already paid too damn much money for this school... I want out... This week thank whatever god there may be out there that I don't have a drawing assignment due this week... BUT I have to find some way to compensate for my grade in drafting... beg? Plead? cry? Offer a couple hundred bucks and buy my grade? I need to do something... I can't fail... I can't afford to... Speaking of affording things... I would MUCH rather be at work than school... I like work... it's easy and I get paid... though tomorrow I am stuck working with Natalie... joy... I still don't know there girl and having to work alone with her will be stressful... if anything goes wrong on anyone has a question its all on me... and Max will most likely come and I can understand a freakin work he says... when he asks me something I usually smile and nod and hope whoever I am working with can help him... if he comes I will have to deal with all that... and he usually shows up every Sunday... Ok now for some happier stuff... Valentines Day is coming up and I am super excited... Steve and I are going to Trattoria La Strada for dinner... hopefully it is good... I want to dress up and go take pictures down by the beach... :-D Also my money seems to finally be adding up... for awhile it seemed like once my account hit $150 it would quickly go down... YAY for having a little money for once... till Valentines day dinner when the bill comes... I am still not sure what topic I am going to do for my research paper... even though we were supposed to have one before Friday... I seem to be coming up short in all my classes... Back to ranting about classes... I had my Art History midterm... not prepared at all!!!! Hopefully I managed a decent grade... I think I got some of the extra credit right on the slide ID... I couldn't for the life of my think of the name of the Gentileschi painting... Judith and her Maidservant... Stupid mind! I hate when you just can't think of the name when you know you know it! Well that's all... Current Mood:  stressed |
