getting my grad school bearings…
(whoops… this was supposed to post the other day, but looks like it never did… so here’s the time rewind)
It is my big first week of grad school… Orientation is tomorrow afternoon and classes start Thursday. And just like the undergrad I once was, I’m up past midnight working on a project that is due tmw. Oh academia, I love you.
I’ll post my first project tmw once the glue dries, but in the meantime, while I wait for Photoshop to spin and spin… a few grad school bits…
Exhibit A: Recent Student-Related Purchases:
items: textbooks
justification: literally par for the course, spend a couple hundred on hopefully interesting reading material. and if the summer reading list was any sort of barometer, i’m looking forward to reading the pile of books i now own.
item: new backpack
justification: commuting by bicycle necessitated some way of carrying all those textbooks (see above)
item: iphone
justification: my rationalization was twofold. first, i wanted to be present to my employer and project team while i’m at school. second, i told myself that i could read for school and participate in our online forums while commuting. take that efficiency.
Exhibit B: Our Pretty Classroom
on the eve of our beginning, our fearless leader has posted a picture of our beautiful, newly remodeled classroom. leave it to the art school to have a more corporate board room than the big corporation i work for.
UPDATE: While beautiful, said classroom is quite HOT due to our uncharacteristically warm september. Not nearly as bad as sitting through TFA sessions in the Bronx summer heat, but definitely warmer than anyone likes.
