Today was pretty busy for me! I stayed up late last night and woke up early to study for an art history exam. Art history is one of my favorite classes this semester, but it is also a very demanding course. For each test we learn the title, stylistic period, artist, and date of many, many works of art and architecture. It is challenging to memorize all of the material, but I absolutely love going to the lectures. After that test, I helped to hang artwork in the rotunda of Johnson Hall for the student exhibition. There are so many beautiful pieces! This afternoon I took a nice, slow walk around the entire room to look at everything.
After that, I had a web design test; it seems that everything always happens all at once. I think it went well, and I am very relieved to be done with it because now we only have to focus on our final project—designing our own website—from now until the end of the semester. After web design, I had my graphic design class, and worked on tweaking some last details on my project before it is due next week. Right now we’re designing a series of postage stamps! It has been difficult, partly because the stamps are so small, and partly because I am not used to working with Illustrator, a graphic design software, very much.
After such a long day, I came back to my room just wanting to relax. It was such a nice surprise when I found my suitemate cooking dinner for us! She made the yummiest chicken and broccoli alfredo, and we had girl scout cookies for dessert (always a welcome addition to any meal!). It was so sweet! Now, I cannot wait for tomorrow! I get to have a date with my fiancé and we’re going to my new favorite pizza place nearby. Weekends are always welcome when you’re in college!
