ladyjanellySchool:
Is tempting me to buy a goood digital camera. We've got a project due in Design that requires the use of our own photos. All that I have are these far-away shots on 3X5 prints and they aren't working well at all.
It looks like 3DStudio Max is gonna be a good companion to AutoCAD. It's a rendering and presentation program that makes cool videos and stuff. A lot of video games are designed on it (the ones that arent made in Maya, apparently). I think I can get in good with some interior designers with it.
Life:
I got into counseling. It's good so far. Going once a week, dealing with my stress and anxiety about being in the wrong program and having no future when I get out of it.
Sam and I went to the DMA last night. They had a showing of "Modernist" artists (1919-1925 or so). It's amazing how well some of those pieces still work today (and how many are being immitated by the company I used to work for). It was a really nice little night out.
Work:
Got a student membership to the IIDA (interior design group mainly focused on commercial interiors). They have monthly meetings that I can get into now. Researched some networking meetings. Planning to start going to those next Friday, see if I can't get some more freelance jobs rolling.
Fitness: So. I'm taking a P.E. class this semester (walking for fitness or some crap like that). And yesterday, our class merged with another one for Pilates.
Today? It hurts to breathe!

Ah, god, Pilates!
Even way back when I was in some semblance of shape, I dreaded it!

Nostalgia.

Date: 2007-12-03 06:26 pm (UTC)I had one breakthrough moment the other day, where I woke up in time to leave for class on time, and decided that I'd do better work with more sleep. I reset the clock and slept until it went off. Before, my anxiety wouldn't have let me sleep.
