A loss of Wisdom

Hello there face here! Does anyone remember Face from Nickelodeon? He was "just an alternate" between regular kid's nick shows, but he was still a part of my childhood upbringing.

Well as the post says, I will be losing some wisdom... tomorrow. In my other posts I had mentioned my wisdom teeth were hurting and giving me a pain on my lower right side. Ooh and did it hurt. Well I'm not a dentist, but I think I'm in the best situation as far as the removal of wisdom teeth goes. They are not impacted, they are growing straight, and the surgery shouldn't be too hurtful. But hey, I get to be on some pretty hardcore drugs before and after the surgery! yay street drugs!

On Saturday I had my "Last Supper" with the piano kids at Gosh. It was SO great to see and catch up with my favorite piano people. I just wish one person would've made an appearance.. and sadly he'll never "see" this blog ever...

Another surprise was my gift from Angel. That was the best book I've EVER seen on jewelry. Like the best. It was in color, it had all these really great methods. It was perfect. Thanks Angel!

Well at Gosh they were playing Christmas music and they played Wham!'s Last Christmas. Of course Lorel was singing along. Anyway, I thought of Grace and how she is singing this in her class with the other Japanese kids. I'm really glad she is going to learn all the words to the song so we can take parts and duet-it-up! Speaking of which, thank God for SKYPE, Grace and I talked or a record of 3 hours and 45 mins. It was really great. We got to catch up and talk about my college stuff and her Japanese stuff. It was really good catching up with her again. I miss that little tigger.

Much later but on the same day, an original Champeau bonfire happened. It was great as usual. We got to play the office game and talk about people like usual. I've missed those so much.

Last but not least, I've been on a knitting tear. Today I bought a bunch of needle and yarn to finish projects that were started and never finished (typical me), and stuff to conquer new stitches. I love teaching myself things. I can't wait! Cause I'll probably be in my bed recovering from the loss of my wisdom..

Bye!

P.S. those are NOT my teeth. & My teeth will probably not look like that, although that would be cool.

Back home for the rest of 2008

Hello All,

Yet again it has been way too long since I've updated. I've had finals, I'm home now, I've had my birthday (19), there has just been a lot of stuff going on.

- School -
I had finals. 2D's final was my floor cloth (basically a rug). I need to put a picture up of it. It's really cool, and I'm impressed on how it turned out. I didn't even have a concrete idea, I just kinda ran with it.

I didn't really have a final in English, but I had my last paper. Ohh English Composition... My final paper was comparing and contrasting these two paintings in the library at my school. That was a hard assignment, I won't go into depth over it because even I had a hard time understanding the point of the assignment.

And lastly, in drawing there were two drawings that should and could have taken over 36 hours to complete. One was an inside class and an outside class drawing. Inside meaning inside the classroom where we had to come in and work after class, on the weekends, anytime we could. One kid from my class spent the night in the building (not allowed), he said "he escaped the security guards." Then outside was a still live that I had set up in my room.

All in all I got B's in all my classes. I was very relieved to see it on Blackboard yesterday... kind of a birthday present to myself... I pretty much knew I was going to get B's in 2D (my teacher NEVER gave A's) and English, but at midterm I had a C in drawing. So as you can imagine, I was scared for those final drawings. I think my teacher saw how much I improved (I improved SO much) so that justified my B.

Alright moving on, I am really glad to be home. I have access to really great Internet here. I can sleep in my own bed. I'm not around people constantly. I can eat healthy again. I get to see my friends again. It's great. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a total antisocial freak. I like people around, but when you are around the same people with NO breaks for 2.5 months it can get very annoying. I like to have "me time." I found "me time" at the computer lab. My roommates and friends think I have an addiction with the computer lab. I have no addiction, i just like to calm down and listen to the purr of the macs. If I may speak freely, I think my roommates have an addiction with facebook. They are always on fb. But I guess a lot of people are obsessed with that right now.

My roommate and I have started playing Frisbee which is good. She gets off facebook, and I get some fresh air and exercise. We always play at night, 10 p.m. or later- one time at 1 a.m., it was cold that night too. It was great roommate bonding. Well I found a TMNT frisbee.... The Mighty Ninja Turtles frisbee in the hall closet of my house and I played with it today with Alex. When I play with Macy I'm not that good. Her frisbee is heavier and harder than mine. I played much better with mine today.

Oh, so I'm not sure If I told everyone about my problem with registering for classes next quarter. So I got a time ticket for 7:30 p.m. and I logged on, signed up for the teachers and times that I wanted, then I emailed my academic adviser and he told me that I hadn't signed up for any classes. I almost flipped. I found out I signed up for the Winter 2008 classes- I was supposed to sign up for the Winter 2009 classes. I don't know what I was thinking, but I guess I live in the pass. Anyway, I got it all figured out. I'm good, and I'm happy about my classes. Monday/Wednesday at 8 a.m. I have 3D design. 2p.m. Art History
Tuesday/Wednesday 5 p.m. color theory.

Well I've missed three Office episodes because I never watch any tv while I'm at school. So those three were good. My favorite was the one where Michael went to Canada. It was cool to see Andy being nice to Oscar and not annoying-well not too annoying, it is Andy. I got an office trivia game for my bday. Some questions are hard, but I can't wait to challenge some really avid office watchers.


Speaking of which, yesterday (November 25) was my birthday. I turned 19. I felt as if it was just another day.

I bought and am growing a mini french Christmas tree. It was in the dollar section at target, I've been responsibly watering it EVERYDAY, and it is slowly but surely growing. I can't wait for it to get bigger.

I downloaded a LOT of music today, I got an iTunes card which prompted me to
downloaded some music. I used the Genius tool on iTunes and picked out some sweet tunes.


Lastly you can see the Forest Gump picture^^ I've FINALLY seen Forest Gump. When I got to school I heard they filmed a few scenes in Savvy so I had to check out the movie. Sure enough the bench scene and the opening feather scene were shot in Savannah, GA. I didn't really like the movie that much. Jenny was kind of a ho, that should not have been respected by Forest. Anyway that is my film critique for this blog.

Enough of this,
Annie Yano

Question: Who else is EXCITED about Christmas?!?!?

11/8/2008

Hello and good evening, it is a sort-of-cold November Saturday in Savannah Georgia. I'm writing from my favorite place here at SCAD.... yes, the computer lab. I love it. So I've realized i haven't written in quite a long time. But not much has happened so I don't really have that much to say!

I'll re-hash the week and anything that has happened that was exciting. But I'm going to go all Willy Wonka and go backwards...

Friday 11/07

I strangely woke up at 8 a.m. on the dot, and wrote about 3 letters (to Julie, Lorel, and Emily). I then got dressed to go play tennis with my friend from my drawing class. I hadn't played tennis in a long time, so i was expecting to suck. Although, I wasn't as bad as I thought! I was also half expecting my friend to suck, but he wasn't bad. Later on Friday, I went to a movie called Role Models. WOW, funny stuff. It is Rated R, and for a good reason too. I hadn't even heard of it, but I liked it.

Thursday 11/06

I didn't go to English class on account of a big drawing assignment that I had put off... i know, but i hadn't skipped any English classes, and don't intend on skipping anymore. Then I went to drawing...nothing to exciting there.

Wednesday 11/05
uh... didn't go to ANY of my classes on account of sleeping in and... i just didn't want to go to 2D.... there I said it. But SERIOUSLY, i hadn't skipped any classes AT ALL before the 3 this week.

Tuesday 11/05

WOW, it was a HUGE day for me...
I woke up at 6 a.m., got in line to vote, went to get free Starbucks for voting, ate breakfast, went to English class, and then went to drawing. Then at 10:30 p.m. or so I came to the computer lab to watch the developments on the election. Luckily, I got to talk to Grace over Gtalk which was good, it was almost as if we were watching the election together! As I was walking back to my room, the outcome of Obama being the next president was out and it was crazy. People were screaming and cheering and doing crazy stuff. The police even showed up..Such a long day...

Monday 11/04

Came home from Lakeland- what a long drive.... ugh, but I DJ-ed the iPod and "knat" (knitted) a scarf for Jbaby. Then I went to 2D design to get the assignment on the final project which is a floor cloth (aka rug).

Sunday 11/03 -Friday 11/31
I was at home in Lakeland, and it felt REALLY good to be in my own bed and in my own room. I went shopping with my mom, and that was another successful trip. We got some bday/ Christmas gifts for Grace. Because she won't be home for Christmas we're making it extra special for her... I can't say too much because I don't want to give it away.... Didn't do anything for Halloween... saweee

I can't really remember too much about the week before that.. probably nothing exciting..
Although, I was spending a late night at the computer lab and i brought my iPod cord to charge my ipod. Anyway, the next day i thought I lost it and I was freaking out. So i came back to the lab and they didn't have it, but they had other cords and gave me one(it's a Apple Mac lab -- yay!). So guess what I found yesterday while I was playing tennis in a hidden pocket... my own ipod cord.... oh annie...

A really great thing that happened was when Julie came to visit! Julie came ALL the way from UF to visit me. and we had great fun. We went to the beach and we got TOTALLY soaked one day.. ha good times, that we decided she won't remember, but I will- whatever that means...

Ok, enough...
