If I had to sum up the week in one word it would be LONG. Honestly, looking back it seems crazy to think that some of the things only happened a week ago.
First off let’s start with school.
Not interesting really.
Art History is boring - modern architecture is ugly in my opinion. Animation is slow - we started making animated postcards but everyone got really confused in about 30 seconds so we had to slow down. Concept is nothing - we’re going over how to do a good 1 minute pitch. Psychology is non existent - since it was 9-11 this week we talked about what everyone was doing that day. And finally Design which is just confusing - I like my branding designs one minute, hate them the next, fix it, love it again, think it looks to student like, then change it again. It’s a crazy cycle.
Anyway, I mentioned 9-11.
Yeah I know, with all the talk it has gotten it’s getting to be a bit old...well I think it is.
We talked about it a bit in Psych. Our teacher brought her husband in who talked about loosing his brother - he worked in the second tower a floor above where it was hit. We then went around and talked about what we remembered from that day. It really depended on where you were from. Those of us from the tri-state area remembered those from Florida or the West Coast. On top of that we were in what 4th, maybe 5th grade. Soon college kids won’t even remotely understand since they were too young to remember.
For my family we’re just happy. Happy that my Grandfather is alive. He was suppose to be flying that day - on one of those planes I think too - but his boss pulled him over a day earlier at the last minute so he wouldn’t be flying on his birthday.
This year he turned 78.
Personally I don’t remember much. Kids got pulled out of school when they weren’t expecting to be picked up. The teachers kept walking in to each other’s rooms and talking quietly. Dad was waiting for us in the doorway when we got off the bus. American flags were on everyone’s mailbox for a week. No one told us what had happened for a while.
A few years later I found the middle school and high school kids all watched the live footage...that must have been hard.
Okay enough sad talk. Good things happened this week too!
I had an interview for a babysitting job. The parent’s were looking to find someone to be their regular go-to sitter. A quick - and I mean quick - interview at Starbucks later and I have the job! No dates yet but they said soon.
We also had 3 people come to anime club on Saturday and stay the whole time! Now they just have to do it every week.
The new season of Legend of Korra started on Friday and we’ve added it to the cue in anime club. If you haven’t seen it yet I would recommend it.
Ummm....that’s it? I think so.
Okay, so it might not seem like a lot, but really 5 classes, 4 clubs, homework, research, Sunday dinner,.... it’s a lot.
