Extreme Art Night

With 3 weeks left of school, the workload has tripled in my classes. I've been neglecting the blog, my knitting, painting, drawing, and everything else but classwork and sleeping.

One reprieve was Extreme Art Night. It started 7 PM Thursday night and went to 8 AM Friday morning. Kevin, Matt, and I spent the bulk of it working on a cardboard building that was entered into a contest judged at 8 AM.

We painted it white and turned it in, hopefully winning. I stayed the whole time, but didn't find out who won.

The image below was painted for the entrance to the art building, and it looks awesome. It was a collaborative effort by several art students here at West Liberty University. You all did great!! It should be hung up soon.

Merriment and painting on walls ensued. It was EXTREME!!!

First Day of Sophomore Year

This weekend I...

...was an extra in a friend's film.
...started working on a new design project.
...moved into my new dorm room.

Yesterday was the first day of classes, and this year my school week is pretty light. I have all morning classes, and I am done by 11 AM, with the exception of Monday and Tuesday where I have 6 PM classes.

Move-in day was slow, which is good since I didn't want this year to go any faster than it had to.

I'm hoping for a good, productive year at West Liberty.

Assistant Director :)

Today, I had an adventure in filming with Li Cui and classmates from Wheeling Park High School. Waking up at 6:30 AM, I probably shouldn't have driven. But I drove to his house so we could pick up some equipment early in the morning.

Pittsburgh was an adventure with traffic and loading the car with sandbags and apple boxes. I had to sit in the back with the giant flag under my chin so it wouldn't block the back window.

On the way to the house we were filming at, we ran into traffic and had to go down an ON-RAMP. It was kinda fun and dangerous, but others were in front of us. We arrived a bit late.

Filming went pretty smoothly, but we didn't finish today. More sometime next week, and then I get to be an extra in the background :D
