8:30am

Oh shoot! I just woke up right when I should be expecting a message from Openlab. I thought I missed something but it’s a meeting set up for our summary in a diary we read. That reminded me, I haven’t mentioned much about the media we used to communicate as a class. Only one class is blackboard so far and it works mostly well on my side. I heard it was bad from other students, but I didn’t really see a problem with it. Zoom is better not only because of the voice chat. Accessing it isn’t as time taking. All I need is a code and password and then Bam I’m in. Little stuff like that makes up the difference over time.

 

9:02am

I saw that a lot of people picked the Wimpy Kid. I picked the wimpy kid mostly because of nostalgia and I never talked about it. It was a well-known book at the time and to anyone that read it as a kid. That shouldn’t surprise me, but it still does. When I experienced things as a kid it’s usually in my own bubble. So, imagine my reaction when reading people’s experience with the same book.

I got up early for my figure drawing class. So far this is the class I’m still not sure where it’s heading. I know what’s going to eventually do but I still feel lost. I hope next class can bridge that gap.

 

8:30am

Aaand, the Zoom class was cancelled. I waited for any sign of a code for the next class. I also sent my Professor a message for the code. I didn’t ask the day before because I tried that last time and he said, wait for it around the time before class. So, I was twirling my thumb for a half an hour until I received a response saying he had technical difficulty and sent a practice sheet for shading on Blackboard. Welp, at least I’ll have something to do for his class.

 

10:57am

For some reason I thought it was Wednesday for the rest of the morning. Thinking I finished my Typography class homework. When I handed it in on google drive. I didn’t see any other student’s work in the submit section. That’s when I realized the correct day. I laughed at myself. I probably need more sleep.

 

2:12pm

Luckily, I realized my mistake earlier because I had a Raster & Vector class at 1am. During the class I didn’t see my current work up, so when she got up to mine, I was worried. I was hoping my work wasn’t concerned late because I handed it in on Saturday. The funniest thing is that I sent it with the file she was showing on her screen. That project was the longest I worked on since last semester’s Type & Media final project. I was happy to see the next assignment was less time consuming. I know we are home and all but being home feel like a distraction and a demotivator to work.

I’m not sure if I am cutting it close for my English meeting and my Graphic Design class.

 

4:16pm

Ha! I made it to my English meeting on time. There was trouble with joining but I was able to join and no one else. Haha! I learned more about my writing style for my dairy. I would need to go in depth with my writing. I might start with that since my life route is super repetitive.

Oh sweet! I finally learned how to finish a piece of the “Falling in Love with You” by Elvis in the game Sky. I don’t know if I mentioned this, but I’ll briefly explain. You can play instruments in Sky.

 

2:08pm

Now that I’m finished playing the game. I can now write more. I took a super liking learning to play songs in this game. I repeat and repeat the songs I learn until I start getting them right without mistakes. It always feels satisfying sounding like the song that is usually played for you. One thing I feel that’s a negative playing on this game is that I can’t play along with someone. The game has delays for connection between players.  Duets rewires coordination and it’s hard to do so when they hear my notes a second later. I really want to pull it off, but I guess it’ll require practice and a solution to that problem.

 

4:22am

I just finished my Typography class. It went pretty well. We had a presentation of a Typography artist we picked a week ago. I picked Herb Lubalin. His work is really good. Definitely something that looked like it took hours to pull off. Especially for a time with little technology like we have today. So, for the presentation I did pretty good for my class. The absence of eyes looking at me helped a lot. Usually I lose all what I am going to say and even when I have a card to read from.

It is now a week till my most anticipated game for the year. It looks like this year of games is non-existent. It still stinks that GameStop closed since I preordered the game there and it was the standard edition which came with an artbook, a soundtrack and etc. The only option I have now to get it next week is, go to BestBuy really early so I can be first on line to get it. The game looks so beautiful. I am not a person that’s big on graphics. But the textures of the ground looks rough, the clothes looks like it fits, and the hair looks fluffy.

 

2:46pm

For Graphic design, it looks like we have to make a cube. The Professor made it look easy but when I tried it, I screwed up on putting it together. Luckily, I used a practice copy of the box.

I’m kind of starting to feel like a sack of potatoes. It might be because I went to bed over 1am in the morning.

 

11:30pm

Tonight, my mom and I played games together. It’s been years since she last played with me. I didn’t cheat, but I beat her in almost every match. I showed her how to play the game and put it in easy mode. It was funny to see her try and getting better at the game. She eventually started beating me while I tried to make her lose. I haven’t had this much fun since my cousin came home.
