Back at the grind...

Not only am I back at school, but I've jumped right into the deep end. This year is the first time i'll have 3 classes in one day, with design studio in the morning (aka furniture!!) and then portfolio after lunch, and shakespeare right afterwards. The thing that makes it all more bearable is that I have all 3 classes with Jenny, whom I missed very much over the summer.

Studio is going to be really awesome, we can make pretty much whatever we want, and it doesn't have to be seating. It can be tables, beds, lighting, anything with which you could decorate a room. There's also a competition with a laminate company where the winner gets money and maaad publicity, and I'm really excited about that too since, duh, I spent the whole summer making a laminate chair.

Portfolio is with the teacher everyone says is overly tough and makes people cry, but he seems dedicated to helping us find our story and how to defend our own work, so if any class will be a challenge, it'll be this one, but, hopefully, worth it.

Shakespeare is with an awesome older man who loves shakespeare, clearly, but loves getting students to love it too, by giving us historical context and having us act out scenes from each play, etc. I'm looking forward to this class as one of my remaining liberal arts electives.

The rest of the week from here on out will be easier, with jewelry (with jenny!) tomorrow morning, silk screen (with no one i know!) at 2, abnormal psych on wednesday afternoon, and studio again (although its a trip to see the felt exhibit at the cooper hewitt) on thursday. And then it's the weekend. Yay! My apartment is also really awesome, and I'm really glad to see all my friends I've missed over the past months again, even if I do miss copenhagen a lot still. I'll post pictures of it soon!
