I’m Hearing: Revis - Caught in the Rain

Wasn’t a half-bad day actually. For my corporate identity class I’m supposed to come up with a marketing scheme/branding for some type of tomato juice, including name, logo, colors, etc. Tomatoes are one of the grossest foods I can think of so this assignment makes me nauseous. And this will be the only project for the entire semester so I won’t be able to escape it. Luckily someone on IRC suggested a good name and I was able to draw some interesting ideas from it, so I’m not completely stuck.

After that class this morning, I worked the rest of the day, then I went to my parents’ house for bohemian baking. My mom had invited Brian and Jon so we all had dinner together, which turned out to be really nice. Brian went off to Chamber Singers rehearsal and Jon and I hung out for a bit before I went over to the computer lab for work. Jon came along and hung out with me, Ben, Jeff, and TR, and it was a blast. It’s already starting to feel like old times…and I’m already back on my "normal" school sleep and food schedule (ie, 5 hours of sleep followed by a breakfast of mountain dew) and in a way, this discomfort feels familiar, and therefore, comfortable. :-)

After the computer lab, I helped Big Brian paint the front part of the house, which is filthy and gross. The trim was quite easy to do because the carpet just peels away from the wall. XD It’s so horribly ghetto over there, it can’t even be considered "ghetto fabulous"…it’s bad. But the paint makes it look a ton better.

After tonight I’m feeling pretty confident about this semester. I don’t think I’ll be as overworked as last semester…after all, I only have 2 classes in which I’ll be producing original work (one graphics class, one printmaking class), so my resources shouldn’t be nearly as taxed as they have been in the past. I’m kind of excited that I’ll be working 27 hours a week and making money to pay off my tuition bill (I had no financial assistance this time around)…so I’ll still be living a rather frugal life for awhile yet…prolly until after graduation.

Oh, and Brian finally got a job offer! I’m really happy for him because he’s been looking since before summer and was quickly nearing total unemployment so it came at the perfect moment. I’m still wondering what lies over the horizon for me.
