I survived day two of school! Yay!
I am alittle nervous about my digital process class. The teacher basically opened class with, "I am the hardest grader in this program." Oh good.... And of course I was 10 minutes late because my trax train got held up by another trax train that wasn't working or was stalling or something. They don't actually tell you what is happening but that was one patrons commentary on the situation.
Day three isn't over yet BUT I have had some interesting things I feel like commenting on thus far anyway.
1) This lady on the trax train saw another lady in a neck brace and then proceeded to tell her all of these horrible stories. I was trying to pay attention to the book I was reading but I kept getting distracted. First she started off with the story about her mom breaking or hurting her neck. Back to my book. Distracted by some one's head hitting the ground and blood gushing out their nose. Back to my book. Caught word of some one's thumb being severed from their body and the long trip to the hospital and how it got reattached and still works. Also the lady said some time later she almost severed her thumb from her hand. Apparently thumb severing is genetic? But really just cause someone is wearing a neck brace doesn't mean they want to hear all the horror E.R. stories of your whole family tree. Back to my book. Thank goodness story lady got off.
2) Walking from the train to class I see one of those parking ticket hander outers (parking police/Nazis) writing tickets for 3 motorcycles parked in the same parking spot. If it is illegal I mean I get it but seriously think about the smartness of it. There are hardly any parking spots in some lots. Students loop around for many many laps around the parking lot and even stalk walking students til the reach their car. Personally I say you go motorcyclist that are saving parking spaces. I am sorry that you are getting a parking ticket for saving space with your small modes of transportation.
I find my life is more exciting when I am school. I guess it is just the fact that I am getting out and I have more random people and things I see that I can comment on. Happy Reading =)

It wouldn't be, without...
The first day of school!
I'll admit I was excited for it. I love school because I love learning. Sometimes I lose sight of that portion when I have racked my brain for every possible idea I think is in there (aka a designer's block). However, I usually find my way out of such predicaments and make it through to the end of the project. Not to mention today was the first day of my last year of school for life (unless I decide to go back but that isn't in the cards right now)! Sweet sweet bittersweet day. Of course what would the first day of school be without an awkward moment and some good news.
Good news. The Trax system has been improved. I can ride all the way from the station I get on to the station I get off at school. No switching trains in slightly scary part of downtown Utah. I guess it wasn't so bad during the day it was the waiting there for the sandy train to come after my class got out around 9 PM that I had the problem with. BUT it is a problem no longer. Now the trip from home to school, via trax, almost takes the same amount of time as it took me to drive there, find a parking spot and walk to class. Yay for the person that decided to make this change.
Awkward moment. After skipping from the train to the library, where my class is (okay okay I didn't really skip but just pretend I did). I walked up to the classroom with the correct number and went right in.... looked up realized I knew no one in the class including the teacher. Ooops! Apparently there is a class in that room before mine. They all looked at me like, "How dare you disturb our little circle of chairs!" I could imagine the teacher having a voice like the cave in Aladdin, "Who dare to disturb my slumber!" Yea. backed out almost as quickly as I had entered and found a fellow design student and friend.
Class. Excited to have a teacher that I haven't had except for one day when she subbed for my teacher last semester. She handed us a sheet of paper talking about our first assignment and the wave of being overwhelmed hit, as it usually does. Once she started explaining it in more detail then I got excited in addition to the overwhelmed feeling. I definitely forgot about that feeling over the summer. BUT here we go onto a new semester! C=
