Enjoying school!

Hey all ... this term is certainly pretty interesting, if nothing else. Both of my classes are focusing on drawings, so they can be very time consuming. As it stands, After teh first week, I have "A"s in both of my classes, and still an "A" in one class, and unknown in the second. I seem to have one teacher who gets the previo9us weeks grades up withn a day or two, and the other who posts them at the very last minute, or even a day late. ARRRGGGGGG!!!

One thing that I have done so far this term is to create a character from scribbles. Basically, using MS Paint (found under Accessories in the Start Menu) I made a bunch of random circles, squares, lines, and scribbles, and then made a mirror image of it and see if I can spot anything to work with. The picture shown is one that I came up with. Looks like some sort of insectoid head in a hood, doesn't it?

Anyway ... my first project in this course is to take a mytholical character or monster and redesign it. Put them into some sort of different role. My intention for this project is to take Hades, Greek God of the Underworld, and turn him into a high school gym teacher. Give him tight gym shorts, short sleeve shirt, whistle around his neck, and shades. Should look pretty good once I am done.

Anyway ...

Work is keeping my busy. I took my Canada licensing exam about 2 weeks ago, and I score a 25% out of 100 questions. Seems that 3 of us had that happen to us. I studied long and hard for that test, and even if i was to walk in off teh street and take that test without studying, I could have scored 25%. So upper management is trying to fight this, thinking we were given the wrong test to the listed answer key, and we will see what happens. Worst case is that I will n eed to retake the test, but if I fail, I will need to pay the $150 for it. I really do not want to retake it, especially because it is no longer fresh in my mind. And it will jsut mean having to restudy and devote time to it that I much rather devote to school and Meredith.

So ...

That is about how things have been here lately. Hope all is well with all of you everywhere else!
