today i went to my special appointment. they will be draining hundreds of dollars from my pockets in the next year. i cross my fingers that it will work.

went to school.

went to the studio. then went to Dewey's with Amanda and Hannah and later Calvin joined us, and we ate food there. i tried Hannah's sweet potato fries which were super good, and i had green onion cakes which were also good. we went back up to the studio.

want to hear the most ridiculous thing in the world?!
our studio has no heating and our drafting tables are about 50 years old with the most UNsmooth surfaces, so when we do some of our art projects, the texture from the table is picked up to the project. BUT the engineering building has heated door handles on the INSIDE. i couldn't believe this. i always knew that Design was probably last on the University's priorities, but at least give us art students some heat!!

anyways, after the studio, Hannah brought me and Calvin to the Agricultural building where they have some sort of greenhouse thing with lots of plants and even birds! we did our photoshoot there and it was mighty successful.

tomorrow i'm picking up Hannah around 10:30 to go to the studio. i have to tweak my self-portraits and start my third one. hopefully it's not too bad. when we get tired of self-portraiting, i think we're gonna go check out the Reuse Center by churchill.

Hannah always knows about the thriftiest things. she told me about this Reuse Center, you can get a membership for $20 for an entire year, or you can pay $2 everytime you go. basically, it's the idea of one man's junk is another man's treasure. you just go and look through a bunch of random stuff and hope you stumble upon some golden misfit items. i can't wait to go. i love that kind of stuff. Hannah also mentioned that twice a year the library has a sale in their parking lot, to get rid of books they don't keep anymore. Hannah is brilliant. just brilliant. i told her about the Antique mall, and she's never heard of it, so i plan on taking her there one day. she will FLIP. she told me she needs to get a record player, 'cause she has a lot of records that she buys but never actually buys a player to play them on, so when i bring her to the Antique Mall (which was introduced to me by Heather, miss her!) she will lose it when she sees how many records they have there.

ahh, i love junk
