IF YOU’RE GOING TO ORDER FOR DELIVERY:
TIP WELL.

YEAH,
THERE MIGHT BE A DELIVERY FEE,
BUT DON’T ASSUME THE DRIVER GETS IT.
DON’T ASSUME THEY ARE COMPENSATED FOR GAS.

AND YOU KNOW HOW GAS PRICES ARE ACTING RIGHT NOW.
DUMB, IS HOW.

SO DON’T BE DUMB.

TIP WELL.

so i haven’t really resolved any of the previously mentioned conflicts.

the best i can do (so it seems)
is trudge through this leftover-from-high school senioritis
one day at a time.

and it’s almostkinduh working!

the art appreciation research stuff i’ve been dreading
really isn’t so scary.

when i sit down and get productive
i don’t feel as scatterbrained as usual.

mon petit ami, matt, has been pushing me along nicely.
and it also helps that next week a lot of my classes won’t be in session.

sort of embarrassing side note:
went to dr. CAREing (:P) last week and discovered i have a finger fungus problem -
due to some hang-nail thing i ripped off a while ago.
so now i have to take finger fungus pills twice a day.

it’s weird.
but i hope it works.

also, i’m sure you’ve noticed the weather is getting to be gross.
i hate that the “brisk walk” to class has become something resulting in light sweats.
on the plus side: this type of weather means relief. summer is going to be bittersweet.
(i’ll miss you, matt — you so don’t read this)

long enough?

so i didn’t really notice that registration was so soon.
and i’m not really sure which art major i’m going to choose.

the problem is,

i recognize that communication design is useful
with business
and other applications.
but when i was looking at the core
compared to drawing and painting,
which i have been following,
i don’t enjoy it nearly as much as what i’m heading toward now.

some classes caught my interest,
like color and rendering (which i think requires portfolio approval anyway)
and i’m not sure what all typography would cover.
but the other classes aren’t as hands-on as i prefer.
on the other hand,
i enjoy the advertising aspects of art.
the psychology behind reading your customer/consumer.
and i think i would like that if i didn’t have to take such sticky classes to get there.

i was really looking forward to painting,
i have a lot of room to improve there.
i just don’t know what kind of jobs i can get into with that.

i’m dreading the design classes that i am behind on.
and the fact that my english AP credit (6 hours worth)
actually counts as humanities (and i am already taking an ethics class this semester that satisfies that credit).

so anyone reading this who is unt-bound and planning on getting english credit from the literature test,
think again.

but back to the art problem.
over the last couple of days i’ve been considering
management as a minor,
to sort of couple business with art.
i can see myself directing people.
that’s where comm. design comes in more handy, i think.
if anyone reading this has some good advice
or experiences to share (even if they are not your own),
i’m really torn between these majors and
i would be so appreciative to hear some advice on the subject.

so i sorta missed the priority registration i have.

not sure what i’m wanting to do with this art thing.
but i’ve been led to some sort of direction that seems like
a pretty comfortable compromise
between the world and.. my laziness.
you can’t go wrong with business, i suppose.

things are catching up with me a little.
i’d like some time to relax, but i might have used it up already.

(remember)*

i think we all need to be aware
of the re-emerging mullet.

i’ve seen two mullets today,
and it’s not even four o’clock.

that’s too much mullet.

i think it would be safe to say
that the mullet should have been left behind in the 1970s.

with that being said,

i’m functioning right now with this sort of
overall
positive, productive movement.

(due to break, i s’pose)

well, spring break is here.
not really different than any other.
i doubt i would enjoy mtv’s idea of college spring break,
anyway.
actually.
i’m 100% sure i wouldn’t enjoy it.

been doing a lot of thinking this week
about things like
the future
people around me
how i am.

i like where i am now.
and although i’m not sure where
it’s all going,
i feel pretty secure.

secure, enough.

i know i’m still really young,
but i feel very strongly about some things
and it’s irritating that my age
discredits me.

sidenote:
when you go out to eat,
could you be polite to the workers.
this has nothing to do with food quality,
because i’ve actually never seen an employee mess with food
where i work
although i’ve heard stories from other places.

but the fact of the matter is:

you’re dealing with human beings.
not slaves.
and we can’t help that our position is that of which
we can only afford to get minimum wage jobs.
tip well,
and don’t request ridiculous things!

if you’re eating out,
who do you think is cleaning up after your mess and kids?

that’s all.
be nice.

you might make someone’s day.
(or ruin it)

i’m going to put this to a close
while i still have this general feeling
of overall
Goodness.

goodnight, e-world.

i was doing some thinking about when i’m going to feel like i’m an adult.
it includes this list:

- paying first house note
- having more than minimum wage job
- not relying financially on parents anymore
- getting married
- taking a roadtrip
- maybe having my own pet
- kid(s)?

i believe i had more on this list but my head is pounding.
and i feel feverish.
side note:

going to see radiohead in may!

aaaand now i’m going to try and sleep this off

so i guess you could say this past week was
more eventful than usual.

turned nineteen.
got a lot of money.
got a study system down.
had an interview for a second job on campus,
which i would have no problem thinking
i got the job
if it weren’t for my poor availability.

things are about to change.
again.
and i think for the better.

had my first critique in figure drawing today.
parts of it reminded me of things i dislike about the art world.

i have a lot of reading to catch up on this week.
can’t wait until it’s over.
[ending friday on my nineteenth birthday]

well.
signing off to read more on kantian moral theory..!
Enjoy this nice weather we’re having, i have no doubt it is temporary

well, hey.
school is going pretty well.

even my art appreciation class that
i thought was going to be
mostly a religion class
has surprised me to be
not really that.

although it has not really been that pleasant
waking up and going to an eight o’clock class
parce que il est froid. Very.

my french class however is turning out to be what i planned.
beginning figure drawing is something i think i will enjoy much.

blah blah blah.

i think i’m already sick of dorm food. again.
ahwell.
freedom comes with a price, i suppose—-

oh,
and if you’re reading this,
couldja leave some sort of sign
that this is actually being read
by a human being.
make it anonymous or not.
ahdon’tcaree.

lemme know, yah?

signing off,
