Zelda usually wins. Unfair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This evening, I\u2019m seated with four amazing, computer-savvy students. I\u2019m supposed to design logos right now, actually, but I\u2019m taking a break as I made six logos and my hand\u2019s cramped. The girl next to me is yawning into her hand and the man who went to the wedding reception last week doesn\u2019t know what to name his server. The other man by the guitar is staring intently into his computer screen. Now that I think about it, I probably am too because I\u2019m trying to think of more logo designs. I should also ask about the resolution Fred (crew-cut haired supervisor) wants for the designs, so I\u2019ll do that now:<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, I have a question: what size and resolution should I make the designs?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen in doubt, go 300 DPI. It\u2019s a big file, but you\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last night, I went to a poetry slam. The two speakers were a man whose hair consumed his face and a man who didn\u2019t have much hair at all. They poked fun at Zach the whole night, which he accepted because there are worst compliments than comparison to Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Zach, I no longer have confidence in my gaming abilities because of his epic power with Zelda. I kind of wish he weren\u2019t so awesome so I could be awesome too (and Damon, who plays as the Ice Climbers, and Dylan, who plays as Captain Falcon\u2014they also deserve awesomeness). Alas, he destroys us all with his shining, pinkish orbs of light (except me because I play as Ness, so the shiny orbs heal me when they hit, but then he kicks my character and I die). It\u2019s quite tragic. :<<\/p>\n

My coworkers are throwing around technology gobbledygook. VX2000? RAW file types? Yeah, I\u2019ve heard of them, but I\u2019ve never actually used them or played with them (except RAW, maybe, ONCE, but it was a really long time ago and I don\u2019t actually remember what I did).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little intimidating, but then again, I\u2019m the one with the drawing tablet and the skill(z), so maybe I\u2019m on equal standing with my coworkers. I mean, despite the fact I\u2019m a freshman, I\u2019m just as experienced (with Photoshop, anyway). Right now they\u2019re discussing Macs (something I know about! Whoop!), but I prefer PCs, so anything I would contribute to the conversation would probably end in a horrific battle of the brands.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n

Well, yes, I am. Mostly.<\/p>\n

This morning, I went over my classes for next semester with my advisor. I\u2019m taking a break from memorization and moving to writing classes, like creative writing and playwriting, and reading classes, like classical mythology. That way, my cumulative GPA will explode with amazing-ness. Hooray for strategy!<\/p>\n

As far as homework goes, things are steady. I have three essays and two speeches to write. I have to check my lab with someone. I have to study for art history and dinosaurs (I\u2019m making flashcards!) and write some AWESOME fiction (that\u2019s for fun, but it\u2019s still on the agenda). Life\u2019s a little stressful, but that\u2019s okay because I perform better under (eu)stress and it makes the work top-notch.<\/p>\n

So yeah, that\u2019s pretty much my life right now. Things are good. I hope you have a splendiferous day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
