Nicole wondered why I hadn't written. Well, there is a very good reason for that. Since I arrived last Saturday night, there hasn't been a whole lot to report. In fact, for the first 24 hours I think I may have been the only person on campus. I saw no one in the dorms, I walked across campus twice on Sunday and through many of the long hall ways to the computer lab and didn't see a sole until Monday morning. It is kind of a eerie feeling actually. I've basically been trying to get caught up. My sculpture class started and it is going to be even more work than the drawing class. We have to complete something like 8 sculptures in three weeks. Today we spent 2 hours of the 4 your class working on an installation. We did a tree wrap. Mine actually turned out rather well I thought. I think students would love this assignment.
Then lets see...I have been too busy to go out for dinner the last couple of nights, so that means I ate my Trader Joes frozen dinners. Tonight I ventured out and I wish I hadn't. It took me about 20 min. to flag down a waitress to get a glass of water and then somehow they managed to produce the most awful shrimp salad--it is pretty hard to believe that so many people were in the restaurant because it was really bad. I guess I'll have to stick to the many Mexican restaurants that are in the neighborhood and forget about having any variety.
Let's see....anything else to report? No, I don't think so. Oh yes, I have to go get my ID card punched with a hole tomorrow at Campus Safety and have a lanyard attached. Then I guess I have to start wearing it at all times. Security is being increased because the St.Louis Rams are coming to campus for there Summer Training Camp. Apparently it will also mean that instead of being able to park about 1/4 mile from my dorm (because the roads are currently torn up), I will soon have to be parking about 1/2 mile away. Not because the parking lot is actually that far away, but because you have to walk through all the buildings on campus to get there.
Well, I'm sure you will all agree that now there is a good reason why I haven't posted to my blog. Check out another wrapped tree, just for excitement. (at the top-I still can't figure out how to place photos where I want them) Mine is the cool one with the long magenta yarn flying in the wind.

The tree wraps are cool. how long do you get to leave them up?
To move your pictures, after you upload them, just cut the xml code that appears at the top of your post and paste it after the text where you want it to appear.
good luck with your sculptures, mom. Maybe not having any distractions will help you focus on your art.
