Day 71: mon, 10 feb 2014. Haley concentrates hard during motion graphics—but she ain’t concentratin’ on motion graphics!
What I did this week (7 feb 2014)
Monday afternoon in Motion Graphics, I made a 2½-D animation based on an old photo from Portfolio class. That was it. That’s all I did for three hours (besides a quick visit to the jewelry lab). After that, I drove a few blocks to the Arena District to see the Hold Steady. It was great, but the whole monday concert thing really threw me off.
After four and a half hours of sleep and a harrowing tuesday morning in jewelry, I had a very nice friendship lunch, followed by a busy, action-packed Senior Ad and a boring History of 2-d Design.
Despite getting a ton of snow tuesday night, CCAD didn’t cancel school on wednesday. Thankfully, my Motion Graphics teacher emailed us around noon to tell us not to come in. This was very good, because it took me 45 minutes to dig my car out of the snow and I didn’t really want to do to school anyway. I did a little homework and a lot of knitting.
Thursday tried my patience from the moment I pulled in the parking lot. We had an endless crit in jewelry regarding our current project (which I’m really not into), which left little time to actually do anything. Thankfully, I had a relaxing lunch in the library before heading back into battle for Senior Ad. It’s not that I don’t love that class—it’s just tough lately because we are all in the crucial middle stage of the project where everybody is stressed about following through with a strong concept. My team is a little behind, so that makes everything tougher. The school week finished with a “review session” in History of 2-d Design—we have a test next week—which was painful to sit through, largely because none of my classmates understand basic serif classifications. Ahh! After class, I had to dig my car out of its parking space with my boot in order to leave. That, too, was pretty rough. But then the week was finished.
