about me
Just moved to North Beach! Holy cow!
I'm an art student, looking at attending AAU this fall.
I need to find a Tribal bellydance class in the area, it's been months since I've attended any classes and I really miss it!
I worked!

This? Was neat.
The store is tiny. The boss referred to it as a Volkswagen bug of a place. The coworker who'll be showing me the ropes is a scruffy, thin, expressionless fellow with glasses, who speaks in a dry, toneless whisper that can barely...

My First Week
(blog entry)
So I've survived my first encounter with my classes.
Monday-- Clothed Figure Drawing
6. Solid. Hours of figure drawing. Wow. My first class at AAU ever. Going into this one felt very strange... I had my ID, and so on, and there was a room full...

Admissions is full of DORKS.

Fixing my schedule has been... a saga. Holy cow. You have to WATCH these suckers, watch them like a HAWK, do NOT let anything slip!
In our last episode, I began my emails to the school months ago asking how to make sure I got in the right class...

AAU Orientation
So, this is it. I'm really here.
Orientation was this morning. I was a bit late getting up, didn't sleep well last night. Had to get a ride to the masonic center where things were starting. Turns out they were serving breakf...

Here I come

Just got back from siggraph of course, photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/114...1432066107/
Best siggraph ever, for me personally anyway. For once I managed to not stress very much. And the coolest thing is, leaving si...

The store is tiny. The boss referred to it as a Volkswagen bug of a place. The coworker who'll be showing me the ropes is a scruffy, thin, expressionless fellow with glasses, who speaks in a dry, toneless whisper that can barely be heard from more than three feet away. He sits at the desk slumped against the shelves next to him like a fatigued stuffed animal. He's put a CD of mp3s in the DVD player, which fills the store with a constant, fingernails-on-blackboard jazz noise...

So I've survived my first encounter with my classes.
Monday-- Clothed Figure Drawing
6. Solid. Hours of figure drawing. Wow. My first class at AAU ever. Going into this one felt very strange... I had my ID, and so on, and there was a room full of people where I'm supposed to be. The teacher was quite young-- probably my age actually-- and a graduate of the school himself, currently working as a children's book illustrator. He had samples of his work up on the walls. The sheer SPEED and fl...

In our last episode, I began my emails to the school months ago asking how to make sure I got in the right classes. My admissions advisor, while friendly, was next to no help. I finally get the right info, waive Introduction to Computer Graphics and CA3D on sheer nerve and luck. Days of wandering around asking questions, tracking down wrong phone numbers, leav...

AAU Orientation
So, this is it. I'm really here.
Orientation was this morning. I was a bit late getting up, didn't sleep well last night. Had to get a ride to the masonic center where things were starting. Turns out they were serving breakfast, but I'd already eaten. Checked in... strange to be surrounded by students now when I've only seen a few at a time before. All herded into the big auditorium for a boring speech from the President, and a very odd scene from the leader of the new ...

Best siggraph ever, for me personally anyway. For once I managed to not stress very much. And the coolest thing is, leaving siggraph I am not returning to a nowhere in a wasteland devoid of any CG goodness-- it's like the trip isn't over... and hell it may not end, this time. I met people who may be my classmates, neighbors, teachers... it's all on my doorstep now. Literall...
