Stuff!

Here I sit watching the tv guide channel (one of the few channels I get) because I just can't take anymore Kate Plus Eight Minus John = Mid life crisis for Kate. I just got back from the library after laboring over my first actual design project. We could only use two colors and had to copy a passage/definition of a word from a design book. We had to have an image, a texture, and a line drawing in each layout. Three layouts, one text dominant, one negative space dominant, and one image dominant. I chose the word 'beauty'. Check them out!

So basically that's my first real design project all done on the computer and I will for sure be putting it in my portfolio. 

So in other random news, here's what's going on in dorm life. Okay, check out this email my RA sent.

2. I have been receiving a ton of noise complaints. Please be respectful of the fact that we are all living in very close quarters. I realize we all have our own rooms but all of the vents are connected so please be conscious of how loud your music is, leaving your alarms buzzing, and just general noise.  As a reminder, if you leave your alarm on and go to class or are not around and it is going off Residence Life Staff can key into your room to turn it off. If we have to do this you can be documented. Please be respectful of that fact that those around you can hear it.

 

3. Walk appropriately through the hallways. I know that it may not seem like the balcony area is actually a hallway because it is outside. However, it is. When you run or even just walk loudly down the hallway it makes a very loud noise because of the concrete. If you are caught running through the halls you will be documented for hall sports.  I have never had to do this in the past and I have lived in this dorm for three years. The noise is just out of control. So please be conscious of your actions.

 

4. Pick up your trash.  I have personally found, and had reports of people leaving their trash in the corridors.  Everything from fast food bags to tubs of ice cream. Clean up after yourselves. It is nobody's job to clean up after you.

Okay, so the tub of ice cream that was left out was left outside me and my suite mate's door for three weeks (not by either of us). The alarm clock is our neighbor affectionately known as Sketch. It goes off at 6:30am EVERY MORNING and he leaves it on. ALL DAY LONG. I can hear it in my room and my suite mate is right next to him so she wakes up with him and his dumb alarm every day. I cannot wait to live in the apartment next year it's going to be so amazing!! Okay, so for everyone who thought I was exaggerating about the soup business, check these burns out!!!

Yeah, that's from SOUP for crying out loud!

Now, check out Arizona's rockin sunset.

Okay so me and my suite mate are often complaining about the lack of group activities going on. So today I got a note on my door for just that. 

Well, they tried I guess. Needless to say I don't think I will be attending the let's watch a movie about gay guys for two hours. Oh and the Sara needs a manicure ASAP fund is currently accepting all donations!
