hewoah you!

He-woah youuu!!!
So nothing really exciting has happened in my life. BUT, something very exciting WILL happen in a day or two (depending on how you look at things)! Julie Champeau aka jbaby aka Jewbaby aka Champy will be visiting me in Savvy for the weekend! I'm so excited that she is coming to visit and meet all the people i've been talking about for 5 weeks.

As far as school stuff, I'm finished with my collages in 2D. Thank god too, I was getting tired of looking at my old toothbrush in the collage. But during the critque, i got the most complements on the toothbrush. Now we're onto our Halloween project, which is a halloween scene and we cut out the negative space of the scene from a black piece of paper. I was thinking of using the castle that was used for Brideshead Revisited, but that was a little complicated with all the architectural elements.. Aka, the pediments and the cornices (shout out to APAH) So i decided to do a haunted house on a hill. I really wanted to just do a door with a latin saying above the door jamb. Possibly the title of the first chapter in brideshead revisited.. It went something like "Et Arcadia in Ego." Anyway, those are just ideas rolling inside my head.

Another thing, lately.. this is weird. I've been listening to Metro Station's Shake it. AND please dont get me wrong, it is a good and catchy tune. I love it, but it's so different from the songs i usually listen to. Anyway, just thought i'd get that out there.

Last thing, i gotta type a 900-1100 word essay on... the PIANIST! loves it, so i gotta get on dat before too long. But i just want to say that i miss baby gace. I finally got to talk to her on the phone after 2 months and it was so good to hear her voice. anyway...

XOXO gossip girl.

Chicken Wednesday!!

Hello readers of Annie's Memorandum!!

Today is a lovely, sunny Wednesday morning.. well now currently afternoon, but still the same. We went to FYE.. aka first year experience where we talked about.... nothing! yay, nothing. I'm serious, and my teacher didn't even talk about how he can taste color. Yes, my FYE teacher says he can taste and smell color (i think it's a bunch of nothing, but if he can then he can). Although sometimes he says his food tastes beige.. which would be a let down. But other than tasting color he is okay. It just sucked that we had to wake up at 8:30 to go to a "class" to talk about nothing.

Let's see, nothing really new. I wrote a bunch of letters this week. [Angel, Bobby, Sabby, I'm talking to you..., I loved them all] I REALLY like getting mail, and I would REALLY like it if I receive mail. I know I was kinda slow on the return this week, but I was major busy.

1). I had to write a paper- and if you don't know, writing is my WORST subject
2). I had to draw my collages for 2D- and if you don't know, I'm terrible at drawing!
3). I had to go to the cemetery to draw-YUCK!-
4).... i know this is NOT an excuse, but the new Urban Outfitters opened, and I bought something (a dress, my friends made me buy it) and have gone twice in a 46 hour increment.

Dwight: The Schrutes have their own traditions. We usually marry standing in our own graves. Makes the funerals very romantic. But the weddings are a bleak affair.

I felt like that a lot while I was drawing.

Hey, Halloween is soon. I won't enjoy it here and Savvy, because I'm coming home for a brief visit!!!! You don't know how excited I am about that! I'm ready to come home for a bit. I'm going to see Loho, the bots, maybe a few others if they call me... who knows.

Oh, so my second english assignment is on a movie that has been widely released and has a lot of commentary on it. So I chose The Pianist. I know I ranted and raved about how great this movie is and I still believe that. I love love love it!

Oooh, Office tomorrow! I know this is a little late to say, but I don't like that Jim and Pam are together. I know i'm going to get hate mail after this, but I liked the subtleties of their earlier relationship.. or "ship" as Kate Scott would say. I just liked how it was kind of a secret.

Ha, I feel like a Pam in my drawing class. There are these two people in my class...actually kind of like Dwight and Angela. I've drawn little comics of them and their "love" -Typical Pam style.

"Dwight": Zak aka "Bam Bam" (I HATE HIM, he lives next door to me, yes the loud rap playing room till 2 a.m.) a 5 foot 5 individual backwards SCAD hat on. Long Island accent. Gross, disgusting, and rude individual. He isn't quite a Dwight as far as intense, and crazy attack plans, but still annoying.

"Angela": Arlene, a little bitchy Asian girl.. GUH!! I hate her too, she is SO judgemental!!! She fits the Angela mold a lot more.

Anyway, their relationship was EXTREMELY visible yesterday when he had his arm around her hip, and then Laura told me he had her up against a wall in the hallway.... "grinding" gah.. I'm so glad I wasn't there, but still juicy to hear about.

Ok so now that we've crossed the 10 day mark, I can not begin counting down the days till Julie will come and visit me! I'm very excited.


Currently listening to the Beatles.... Although, I feel as If I don't have enough. Ben and Grace have the WHOLE anthology it seems like...
Grace, if you're reading this, send me a few of the ones we used to listen to in the car.

Miss you all,

Annie.. aka Nana (yes), Banana

P.S. I'm not allowed to say 'boink' around my friends anymore, but they do like the "Hewoah you" greeting--all from Michael Gary Scott--

Week of October 4th

Hello, and sorry I have been distant. A lot has happened this week, and I haven't had a chance to really get on the computer and blog. So let me tell you about my week!

Monday, I had my academic advisement meeting to discuss what my intended major will be. I've decided that I'll major in Metals and Jewelry and minor in Accessory design! I've been on a tour to the accessory building and I thought it was REALLY neat. Like, I can make shoes and purses! I can't wait! About 5 hours later I went to my design class. We all got our grades back, no one got an 'A'. I was a bit disappointed, on account of my piece being on the wall. I *think * i got the highest grade. I got an 89 B. I talked to her about my piece, and she said if I would've just changed the boarder to the paisley one and made it smaller than it would have been perfect. Although, I didn't know we could play with the boarder! All in All, I got put up on the wall before anyone else and I was happy about that.

- Tuesday -
Nothing really happened on Tuesday. I had drawing. It rained EXTREMELY hard! Laura and I had to wrap our drawings in trash bags to prevent them from getting wet.

-Wednesday-
FYE class, was boring as usual. We went to tour the library and all it's wonders. Like our usual Wednesday tradition, we went to Chick fila for breakfast. 5 hours later, design happened. Nothing too big in here. We had to bring in our collages, and sketch them. BOO!! I hate drawing! After about an hour and a half of that we had a lecture on nothing but..... PAPER! Yes, paper! I felt like I was in one of Dwight's many lectures on paper. I was SO close to asking the guy what kind of top soil do they use for the trees, but I didn't. He was boring enough, I didn't want to make it even more boring.

-Thursday-
English Comp happened and then drawing. Nothing too exciting in there either.
Another boo, NO OFFICE?!?!?!?


-Friday-
Woke up super early to get to the Art Trade Show. I was really excited to go to this. I went crazy with buying art supplies. I spent $106, and the money went really far. I bought 2 newsprint pads, 1 drawing pad, a paper palette pad, a Bristol (cough, sarah palin) pad, bundles of pencils, a really nice pen for 2 design. GOUACHE!, a large wooden clip board for drawing (we're going to the cemetery next thursday to draw... ooh scary!), charcoal, erasers, fixative, a lamp for 2D, a sketchbook that I don't really need, but w/e, got some free stuff too! I think I want to go back and buy paint brushes and a pencil case.

Later on that day, me, Macy and Megan went to Chills! I bought envelopes for the letters! Macy left for the weekend. Megan and I played a WONDERFUL prank. After that Megan and I went to the Marc Jacob store, and then went to the smoothie shop and the cupcake emporium! Later on we went to get pizza. I came home to an empty room, if felt good. I took a shower, and went to bed. About 10 mins later, I heard banging on my door. I opened it. It was none other than the flamboyantly Kenny and Megan wondering how I was all alone. They left soon after and then I went to sleep. As Pam might say "It was a good day."

One last thing, I'm loving the letters. Absolutely loving them! I just sent three yesterday, and I just love receiving them. Keep them coming!
