So classes classes classes. Wow. They are really something else. It's actually incredibly odd to think about at first, because if I get bored, it's not weird if I start to draw - everyone else is already doing it! And in my general figure drawing class, it's just kinda out of the question. So it got some serious taking used to.
My classes consist of general figure drawing, three dimensional, four dimensional, history of art, light color design, and english courses.
My 3-D teacher is completely out of his mind. Let me share some writing I did while sitting in one of my first classes with him.
And I quote, "So I'm sitting here in one of my first 3-D classes and it's so hot that I'm wetter now than when I was in the shower this morning. My teacher has said more about the fourth dimension than any other, but right now he's focusing more the philosophy of the ENTIRE WORLD. We've heard more about Plato and Sophecles this morning than the actual class at hand. Dear god it's hot. I'm having trouble holding myself together and melting away. I can't remember who I am. Time is nonexistent. Ideas about ideas combined with more self reflexive terms. Something about lines and cubes and arrows. Judgement? Knowledge? The abstract? We're just small confused children without air conditioning! We need air! Not a philosophy lesson. The water in front of me that once so cold and wonderful has given up its crusade against the humidity and heat."
The man is certifiably insane. And he's slowly driving me closer to the brink myself.
I'm really going to try and waive my 4=D class, 'cause I kind of already know everything we're doing. We'll see how that goes...
English is basically a philosophy course with an artistic aim to it. So far, we haven't accomplished much. Our teacher keeps trying to get us to define such abstract things and pretty soon two people are in an arguement. I try to keep myself in an open frame of mind, but every time I tell myself to keep a vow of silence for one class, someone says something so blatently wrong or insane that I have to make some comment. I'm trying, I really am.
Drawing is fabulous. I'll show you my work, and you'll see. My teacher is a god. She's really just awesome.
History of art? Boring. Not much to say here, we sit through three hours of slides a week, and then we get to go.
Light color design is impossible to explain. Fuck color-aid. That's all you need to know.
And women? Hmm...
Keep in mind I haven't much to deal with in terms of the female sex, because so many of them are in relationships! I know, it sounds crazy, but it's completely true. Having said that, here are some that always catch my eye.
A girl in my drawing and english class is without a doubt the most beautiful I've seen since I got here. And I've actually gotten the chance to talk to her and ask her about herself somewhat and find out just a little bit more about her. She doesn't live on campus, however, so that just sucks. But she has a twin sister. And there are also these two girls that are roommates downstairs, and they're, well...pretty damned amazing themselves. Just gorgeous, really. The only problem is I don't have either of them in any of my classes so it makes things that much more difficult. And then right down the hall from me there are a few classy ladies that are a lot of fun to hang out with, but I only find myself attracted to one of them.
Names you say? Later, mayhaps. =)
And lastly, I'm going home tomorrow for the weekend. A bunch of us are, including a good number of my best friends, and so I have some people I need to see and catch up with.
Questions? Comments? Opposing points of view?
I didn't think so.
=)
If you actually do have some, comment. Or call me. Or IM me. Just do something, okay? Good.

Hey sweetheart! I'm so glad to hear all about your classes and life at school. It all sounds really amazing. Don't be so quick to dismiss the certifiably insane teachers...they usually end up being the ones you learn the most from. My current favorite told us yesterday that he's a schizophrenic crackpot because he loves crack and he loves pot. Hence, crackpot. I believe it too :). Have fun at home for the weekend and keep having fun at school!!! AND keep blogging cause I love reading it. xoxoxox, Frankie
PS. Any of those girls would be MORE than lucky to have you ;)
Deleting comments is NOT OKAY!!
How else am I supposed to feel popular?
