It felt like every other day, later I would soon realize it would be a horrible day. My whole was filled with work, I couldn’t find a break anywhere and the worst part of that was not being able to eat anything. I went the whole day without eating a single thing.

Today is Tuesday and I am going to have English, Type and Media, and Foundation drawing until 9:30 pm.

It’s gonna be a long day and I feel stressed already.

For the Foundation drawing , we need to bring a 18″*24″ sketchbook and others requirements. That’s really heavy and I have to carry it all day long.

Openlab is similar to Google Classroom, except that it’s only for City Tech, which I think is unique.

It’s unfortunate that not all professors use it though, as it would be convenient to just have everything here instead of going between here and Blackboard.

Speaking of Blackboard, the whole CUNY first website needs a UI overhaul. Multiple students have complained about how clunky and disfunctional it is, which I agree with. The website is for students, not for private investigators.

Interesting  way to start the day,”For the love of money”by the OJays love it.

Every morning I wake up, I always think to myself, “Another day, another new start.” Even though I may sometime waking up feeling awful I try to stay optimistic. It may not be easy but I rather try to brighten up my day rather than feeling dead throughout the day. Even when l feel life hates me, I shall not give it the desire it wants by trying to make me feel awful. I shall always look away from the negativity and appreciate the positive things I have.

It is going to be 92 degrees later on in the afternoon. I hate the heat, and just when it was getting cooler last week. I made the right call and came in shorts today.

thankfully temperatures will begin to feel more like fall after this week.

What are your thoughts ?

Do you prefer the heat ?

Thank you

I use an app called Discord, we’re all gamer friends and family can all meet. I would always go on there to call on my friends. Their names are Corvus, Colby, Ceci, Q, Diva, Ramses, Jay, Stephanie and Many more.

Diva is mostly perfer to as Pocket Man, so I like going into the call going..POCKET MAAAAN!! we would always go on there to talk and play games and crack jokes. Every Saturday everyone has a Dungeons and Dragons campaign and we all participate and we all have funny jokes there. It was a riot of ridiculous humor I almost died cause I couldn’t breathe from too much laughter..But, it was worth it.

I felt ill when I woke up. I was in a cold sweat for part of the night because I think I ate something “off” yesterday.

My son never told me that the hummus he bought was kind of…funky. He just left it out on the table.

Later, he told me.

Okay. Maybe I am just a hypochondriac.

What do you think?

Meet the great philosopher who inspired so much of your Professor’s thinking, here.

Here is a link to Wikipedia/s page on Surrealism

You can see the above artwork, called simply “Objet,” but commonly known as “Fur Teacup and Saucer,” at MoMA in Manhattan. It is by Meret Oppenheim and was created in 1936.

The following is taken from a piece by Nina Martyris for NPR.org:

“As the art critic Will Gompertz writes in his 2012 book What Are You Looking At?,“Two incompatible materials have been brought together to create one troubling vessel. Fur is pleasing to touch, but horrible when you put it in your mouth. You want to drink from the cup and eat from the spoon — that is their purpose — but the sensation of the fur is too repulsive. It’s a maddening cycle.”

At the MoMa, the sculpture is known by the unadorned title that Oppenheim gave it: Object — not Luncheon in Fur, which was the sensual name Breton chose. His idea was to reference not only Edouard Manet’s famous painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe(“The Luncheon on the Grass“), but also, more cannily, Venus in Furs, the 1870 sadomasochistic novella by the Austrian writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (whose surname is the root of the word masochistic).

Here is some info on the Oulipo Group and a few lipograms — writings that omit one or more letters — by A. Ross Eckler Jr. (1927–2016), an American logologist and author:

Original
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go

He followed her to school one day
That was against the rule
It made the children laugh and play
To see the lamb in school

Without “S”:
Mary had a little lamb
With fleece a pale white hue
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb kept her in view

To academe he went with her,
Illegal, and quite rare;
It made the children laugh and play
To view the lamb in there

Without “A”:
Polly owned one little sheep
Its fleece shone white like snow
Every region where Polly went
The sheep did surely go

He followed her to school one time
Which broke the rigid rule
The children frolicked in their room
To see the sheep in school

Without “H”:
Mary owned a little lamb
Its fleece was pale as snow
And every place its mistress went
It would certainly go

It followed Mary to class one day
It broke a rigid law
It made some students giggle aloud
A lamb in class all saw

Without “T”:
Mary had a small lamb
His fleece was pale as snow
And every place where Mary walked
Her lamb did also go

He came inside her classroom once
Which broke a rigid rule
How children all did laugh and play
On seeing a lamb in school!

Without “E”:
Mary had a tiny lamb
Its wool was pallid as snow
And any spot that Mary did walk
This lamb would always go

This lamb did follow Mary to school
Although against a law
How girls and boys did laugh and play
That lamb in class all saw

Without half the letters of the alphabet:
Maria had a little sheep
As pale as rime its hair
And all the places Maria came
The sheep did tail her there

In Maria’s class it came at last
A sheep can’t enter there
It made the children clap their hands
A sheep in class, that’s rare^[21]
