The Final Countdown II

It's the Monday of my last full week 'till break, and I have a lot of work to do. Luckily I've been on top of things, so I don't have an insurmountable pile of projects. Just enough to keep me constantly busy. My big project this week is redesigning my point of purchase display. I redid my packages and they look so much better than the old ones. I didn't realize, however, how long it was going to take me to complete them. I designed the package myself making a template and cutting them out of acetate... then with two more pieces to the package.. it took all day to have everything printed cut out and assembled. That set me back a bit. I'm one step behind where I wanted to be right now. That's ok. I think I'm still on top of things. If I get what I want done tonight (designing the graphics and creating a tiny and then a scale mock-up for my point of purchase display) THEN I will once again be ahead of the game. I only have until Thursday morning to get this done. Thank G-d I did that brainstorming for critique yesterday so at least I know what direction I'm going in.

Everything else is getting neatly squared away. I'm not gonna touch my paintings anymore, I did my history project, I'm handing in the final project and giving my final presentation in my writing class this afternoon. Tomorrow I hope to finish glazing all my ceramics. I HAVE to get that done tomorrow. Then I don't have to worry about that anymore. After my final CMD reviews at the end of the week I'll have a whole weekend when my only responsibly will be to sit in the sun and study art history on the quad. I'm looking forward to that!



In other news, passover ended last night. I finally get to eat bread again. I love how thankful for everyday things like bread or pasta or cookies I get after going 8 days without it. On Saturday night a bunch of the gang got together and made cupcakes to celebrate the birthday of two of my friends. I couldn't eat the cupcakes but I had some passover brownie mix. The brownies actually tasted really good! That was a nice surprise. Anyway, they saved a bunch of cupcakes so I get to pig out later today. On top of it all I get a call yesterday from a friend from home that goes to RIT. He was on his way back from an impromptu trip to NYC and he was gonna drive past Syracuse. This resulted in me leaving my work at 11:00 to go sit in Kimmel dining hall with my buddy and his friend and listening to their adventures for an hour. I ended up going to bed at around 2:00 after finishing constructing my packages but it was all worth it. It was nice to see him.



Bu the time I write next I'll be done with ComDesign crits for the year.

I can't wait.
