Late Night

I have my first graphic design project due tomorrow. The other things I’ve been assigned are just assignments, projects are worth a lot more. This makes me pretty nervous because I haven’t been doing too well on the assignments. My professor is all about this concept called perfection. For four and a half hours tonight I’ve been sitting in the back lobby of my dorm working on my project, trying to make it perfect. Why am I trying to make it perfect when obviously sheer perfection can’t be achieved in general.. what a corrupt class. Not really, it’s actually taught me how to strive higher, making myself do the  best I possibly can, even if that means completely starting over. There isn’t much else I can do tonight, except pray that my professor is having a good day when he grades the projects in the near future. 


This project introduces the basics of typography, which is the art of designing words and letters. We had two trace and free-hand to word “vortex” in two different fonts.. have a look.
 
          

Everything else is going pretty well, except our economy, but hey that’s out of my control. I feel so shut off from the world in college. I try to keep up with everything by going to newyorktimes.com every day.. but it doesn’t feel like enough. Maybe that’s a reason you go to college, to get a chance to hide from the world a little. Because once your out of college, you’re going to be thrown into it ALL, whether you like it or not.

It’s late. I have to get up in six hours for weight training, how wonderful. On that note, I’m gonna pack up and head to my dorm.

Also… we’re now 2-0 in the conference with the win over Presbyterian last night. Good stuff.
