First day of classes (part IIb)

Solidworks: in short, i LOVE my new teacher (as my friends who had him last semester did, and knew i would too) he's young, but he is very driven to help each student make work they can put in their portfolio, and projects that relate to our design classes this semester. And he's funny, and very helpful. I look forward to filling in the gaps my teacher first semester left in my solidworks knowledge (and they are many).

Ceramics: Well, my teacher is a lady approximately 85 years old, who is hard of hearing and didn't understand the 3 times i tried to tell her i'm taking a tabletop design class. She seems good though, she basically will let you do whatever you want, as long as you know what you're doing, and you do good work. She did ask everyone when easter break was, and as I was sitting the closest she looked at me in particular. I said i didn't know, and she said "oh.... you're not catholic?" "....no...." and she just blinked at me, so i said "I'm jewish..." and she just laughed.... I didn't really see the comedy in it. But whatever, I think I'll be able to make stuff for my tabletop class in ceramics, so it's all good.

Speaking of design, I have it tomorrow at 2, and I'm really excited! I claimed a desk today for myself and for Jenny, but there was still stuff all over almost every single desk in there from ID View last semester. I am hoping 1. that we don't have to clean out their junk and 2. they won't be in that studio (in a different class; there are 2 classes in one studio in this one, not like last semester's studio, which I will miss greatly indeed) and want their desks back, even though I put mine and jenny's name them. We'll see tomorrow, I guess.

P.S. I am enjoying all this free time at the end of the day, as my classes are all once a week, except for design on mondays and thursdays (which is weird, by the way, since it's my last class of the week on thursday afternoons, and first class of the week mondays at 2, meaning i have all weekend to do design hw, and then homework again. No other classes in between. It's also weird because i only had it once a week last semester, which I will also wish I could have again.

Anyway, I'll update tomorrow after design, but for now I'm going to do some CSDS work and enjoy my time off... the Simpsons Movie on HBO is calling my name.
