Strange

Today was such a strange and long day, I got up at 6:30am and was rushing around trying to get my act together, trying to remember to bring homework, tuition thing I need to bring to work on other projects etc. It suddenly became 7:25am and I thought I had to leave in five so that I could get to class in time and I didn't even put a brush through my hair yet, argh! Then I realized that it was Monday not Tuesday and that I didn't have to leave as early to get to the port campus on time. I got myself together in a half hour and had ample time, and went to school.
Today in Foundation Computer class we were working in Photoshop and when I left the class room at the end my brain was dead, I wanted to get to the bus stop by Scotia Square and it seemed my body was just leading me in random directions down and across the building. I had to stop. Were was I going again, how would I get there? I mapped out several routes quickly in my head and decided to pick one; no that's not the best one; what about this one? No. Okay this one. I started walking and realized that our old campus which is a mass of old buildings which are connected and reconnected continuously is sort of like the human thought process in a way. A thought is so random, and non-linear drifting from one thing to the next and sometimes not knowing where your going and forgetting where you just were, and there are multiple ways to get to one place in particular. Then I started thinking about the computer and how there are so many different ways just to get to one place and humans created the computer and their programs with such structure and yet they can be manipulated in such non-linear ways ex: the Internet, you go on a web site, see an ad of a link and click on it, then go so where else from there etc. Soon you end up somewhere completely different an hour later and forget what you where doing in the first place. Any way I think I'm rambling and starting not to make sense, I am tired, anyway just a few random thoughts.
Later

Homework

This week, one of the things I need to do for homework is to post a picture, any picture, but I was planning to post a real picture of my self, to compare with my blind contour drawing (just for fun). Unfortunatly I currently have a cold, my nose is chapped (from blowing out the sniffles), as well as my lips. My face also has suddenly decided to acuire a few zits (I know I sound so glamourous right now) . So maybe I post a full picture at a later date, for now I'll give everyone a sneek peak and just give you guys a cropped image.

Sick,Tired and Technically Challenged.

Where do I start?... Well I discovered yesterday that I can no longer type in my URL (at least on my computer) in order to find my blog, I cannot Google it because it cannot be found, this happened after I changed my profile, I am not sure if this has any connection what-so-ever. Currently as I am writing this post the auto save is failing, so if anything strange happens during the time that I am writing this, I may be waisting my time because it will be wiped out. This week I am supposed to post a picture in my blog but my camera is malfunctioning, I just tried to turn it on but it turned on and then right back off again, I am hoping that that batteries are dead, and it doesn't have anything to do with that fact that I have been toting it around in the bottom of my backpack all week. (I was searching for my camera yesterday and I wasn't able to find it anywhere. Just about when I was about to loose it, I remembered that I may have placed my camera in my backpack for my Monday computer class.) Does any one else have these current memory lapses, especially when looking for objects, assignment outlines etc? Or is everyone super organized, and could give me some tips on how to organize my life, or at least just some of my stuff?

Untitled

So, it's about 9am on Friday. September, 12th (I think) and I am forced to write a blog for my Foundation Computer class. I am not really sure what to write but I thought I had to start somewhere. I guess I'll tell people a little about myself... I am a student that goes to NSCAD University in Nova Scotia (Canada) I am currently enrolled in my 3rd year out of a 4 year Fine Art program. I will probably be going to school for and extra half a year, and maybe some summer classes. My major is interdisciplinary and my favorite mediums are ceramics (clay etc), paint, drawing materials and a camera/darkroom (not a digital camera) . I plan to graduate and my an art therapist, and helping people/ disabled people express themselves through art making. I have included on my first post this "picture" of myself as my instructor has asked, except I am in the process of moving and I seemed to have misplace my digital camera. So I drew a blind contour drawing of myself this morning soon after I woke up (a line drawing that is done without looking at the page) and it should appear here somewhere.

So I tried to post about an hour ago, and I am so technically challenged that I obviously did not work. So I'll try it again. Now It is about 10am on a Friday. 12th, 2008 during the month of September. The whole blog thing is somewhat new to me. I have read other blogs before and generally the are sometimes funny, witting and engaging because you realise that others are quite a lot like you and you are not as strange as you think you are. You realise that others also have various things in life that happen to the that are uncontrollable, funny, strange and sometimes make them angry, and that these occur to everybody, not just you in particular. I personally have looked at others blogs and have like what I have seen. I have never really wanted to create one myself, mostly because I am not witty or funny, and really have nothing to say to strangers most of the time, except comments about the weather today, the past week or month. You may be wondering why I am creating a blog, well that is because I am taking this foundation computer class that I recently discovered I needed to take for a photography class. In this foundation computer class one of my assignments is to keep a blog and post in it at least twice a week so if you don't see anything more after this I might be failing. Also in this assignment I may have to post some of my work, which I really don't like doing because generally I think it sucks, is never finished and I don't like people stealing my concepts, which has happened before when I have shared my art concepts to people. Also don't expect me to keep up this blog after Christmas because by then this class will be over.
Salute.
