The good and the bads, but no uglys

I've manged to be fairly successful in my first week off of classes despite some set backs.
I'm on track for studying my exams, I've packed half my room, and I've started my job search.
I've hit some small snags including not quite passing the essay class :( I would take it in summer school, but I have to work... so I guess it'll happen next year :(

On a better note I have a good feeling about getting a job. When I was handing out resumes yesterday, there was some associates that seemed very interested and even when through my resume right there and had some good comments. A few of them told me that they are starting, or starting soon their summer hiring.
My big let down was the costume shop near my school. Outside of the Halloween season, they only hire people who have done point. D: It's because their biggest client base outside of Halloween is ballet dancers. :( oh well.
I've applied to 15 places and 8 places on monster.ca

 In May I will official be a fine arts student, which is exciting! I still can't believe that my entire school is basically made up of graphic designers, I have a feeling it's going to be/already is an insanely competitive job market. Anyway, I don't wanna work for some corporate Man XD

uhmmm ya.. that's about it

Done :D

Well I'm done classes. I have a crit next week and an exam in a week and half. My last thing was due yesterday, a research essay, and I didn't think I'd get it done in time @_@ but I worked on it all night, and I personally feel it was one of the best essays I've ever written.
I have another blog entry that I'm writing, but it's about death. and don't really feel like posting it right now. Things are bright and cheery, I wouldn't want to dampen anyone's mood.
Anyhow
My mind is all fuzzy. I think it shut down after finishing that essay. I've been having such hard time making sense when I talk. I also can't concentrate on anything. I hope this ends quickly though, I have to study for my exam.

I think this summer, on top of getting a job I want to get back into shape. I don't have much of an endurance, I tend to huff and puff when climbing stairs, and I also lost my flexibility. I also think incorporating a workout into my daily routine would help keep me productive, even on days I don't have work. That tends to be a huge problem, if I'm not going out anywhere it takes me forever to get going, and then I don't do anything productive that day. D:
ok so this started with seeing an infomercial last night about the dvd workout called Insanity. I know that the fact that it's an infomercial on at 2 am means it's... well a scam. But then I started reading about it online. Apparently it's one of the most popular high intensity dvd workout on the market, along with P90X. The thing that sold me on the idea is that it requires absolutely no equipment and it has your next 60 days of workouts completely planned out. The draw back it tat it's $120 + shipping and handling... but that's what the Pirate Bay is for, so that's not a problem XD

So anyway This week is going to be find work, study for exam, and pack up my room.
There's a call for submissions at the end of the month, and I want to do something, but I don't have any ideas. :/ The theme is "Potlatch-pooling resources, inclusion, and a diversity of people sharing and celebrating together", etc etc.

Anyhow

Balloon Instilation at the park

 

  In Experience Design class, we worked on planning an art instillation for the past few weeks. Our instillation ended up being balloons anchored to the ground, with tags attached to them. It was open for people to write their secrets or wishes. then we let the balloons up high in the air. (Still anchored to the ground tho)

I was fun to do, and i got some nice shots of balloons floating in the air. To bad it was soo windy, so the balloons ended up being dragged away.

I wrote a secret too, but I'm not telling you what it is :p
