My Interior Design Blog

Hello everybody, I hope you didn’t miss me too much… Though I missed you a lot! I also missed my free time, things have been a little crazy and out of control lately. First of all as you may recall my brother is staying with me until march15. Than my cousin and his girlfriend visited us for about four days at the time I had to finish and present project 1 in studio. Can you imagine 5 people in an one bedroom apartment??? Yeah, it was tight.

In the time i was absent from this blog I had gotten my perspective drawing homework back, and I have to say that this guy, the instructor I mean is horrible. He doesn’t explain anything, he just says things that are theoretical, and than after getting back a C+, yeah a C+ can you believe? I never got anything like it in drafting before.. He says something about the line weight… Overall I just think he is very unpredictable in the way he grades..

Oh, and of course, how could I forget?? I had presented successfully I have to say project 1 in studio. I don’t have the project back yet, but when I will I’ll post some pics to show you the final result. The presentation itself wasn’t that bed.. I mean it was only for two minutes, it’s not possible to screw up in that amount of time. I think the visual presentation was good too, I’m not saying great or perfect, but I don’t think I deserve less than B+, who knows, maybe even A-…

By the way, I am typing this blog from my new laptop that mybrother and boyfriend got me for my B-Day. Well technicaly it’s not today and not tomorrow, but somewhere in between, so I get two days of celebration since I’m a leap year baby Next real B-Day 2012…

Good evening everybody, I hope you are having a nice weekend, because I know mine is not going to get better and it wasn’t so good in the first place. Nothing terrible has happened but I have a lot of H.W. and not a lot of time to do it. Nothing major had happened during those days I wasn’t around except yesterday.

Yesterday was Friday of course, and I had drawing and studio2. well the drawing part was weird, I mean the instructor tolled us to place some things on the table and start drawing them with ink. Now, my problem wasn’t only that I have never drawn still life before but I have never used ink. It started slow, didn’t know what exactly to do, I started looking around at other peoples work, or at list how they do it. I realized ink is not so different from watercolor, so I started wetting the areas I wanted to concentrate on and it turned out not so shabby.

After drawing I had studio, we have been tolled to bring sketches of our table arrangement and if we had time to render them (not good rendering though, just indication of color). Well I brought two sketches, and was so confident about them… We had the pinup and my turn was third before last. Oh, I was so wrong!!! now I need to seat back on my drafting board and figure out a new table arrangement. Well actually the table arrangement itself wasn’t that bad, it was good actually, it’s the composition that screwed me over. No worries though, I will pick up my broken ego and start again. Actually I’ll start right now. If you have any comments about my sketches or ideas, I’ll be more than happy to hear them

The end of the first week and I exhausted… I feel like I am going to be so much worst at this semester than the last one just because I’m not doing home work when I’m given. And the classes this time are not a joke like last time… Well maybe it’s just my first impression.

Anyway, my first class today was Drawing 2. Feel confused? Yes I felt so too. I didn’t take drawing 1 but apparently 3D is enough. The problem is that I never had professional training at drawing and the instructor was already started to ask questions about what we do or do not know. Well I didn’t know most of the things, And on top of all that we had a long list of things to buy for this class… Again, I’m trying to convince myself that it was only the first class and it will be better. Plus if I got accepted to FIT that means that I have some kind of talent, don’t you think so?

He let us go early because we didn’t have anything to do, since no one brought anything to class. I had enough time between than to studio to do my AutoCad home work. It took me a while but I did it on time, less things to do at home.

When we got to Studio the instructor showed us  power point slides about our first project and than she went between us to see our progress. I thought about a concept that is something about traveling, or trips or something like that. I was surprised but she liked it and said that I have a good start, or was she just being nice? Anyway she also let us go early.

Now I’m racing to finish this post because we are going to my BF’s dad for a Friday meal. Oh yeah and by we I meant me, my boyfreind and my brother. I know, I forgot to mention that he is staying with us for a while, nothing seriouse just came to visit. So, have a nice weekend and I guess we’ll meet again on Monday, Chauu

Hello everybody, how are you doing tonight? Well I’m tired again, because like yesterday I had a nine to nine day. It’s hard but at list I have an extra free day of school.

The day started with AutoCad, which is suppose to be instead of drafting. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. The instructor was nice and after she finished explaining things she walked between us to see if we have questions about what she just said. It wasn’t that hard, but because we have a lot of material to cover she was very fast… But, overall I need to wait to the next class to see if I actually remember anything.

After AutoCad I had one hour of English Comp, remember I tolled you I switched sections, that section I switched to is split class, two hours on Monday and one on Tuesday. That instructor was nice but I felt like I missed so much and it only been the second day of school. She already gave homework as well to write some kind of essay, I don’t know.. I guess I’ll wait for the weekend to do it (I hope I won’t regret it).

Thanks god I had one hour of common hour enough time to grab lunch Than after lunch I had Studio 2… Ohhh, I just love this class, and I have the same instructor, what can be better than that?! Well, and as usual she put us right to work, we already went through our project 1 which is table arrangement, I’m pretty excited about that. I only worry about the table I got. I mean, she assigned us tables and said that if we really don’t want it we can switch.. I got the most ugly horrible table one can get, and on top of all that I was the only one to change it. I feel like a looser… At list I like the table I have now.

After Studio I had a subject I really wanted to take, Introduction to World Affairs. I wasn’t so angry at someone such a long time as I was at the instructor. I’m not going to get into it because I don’t want to open political discussions here, but he made me so angry, I don’t know how I stayed their until the end of class.

Now I’m obviously home and changing world affairs to something alse, I don’t know yet.. It’s so hard to fit anything in my schedule.. Well I’m going to try and concemtrate, so I’ll be here tommorow
