Looking up
Found out the bitchy teacher was nagging me because I was still signed up for the class as credit. I was supposed to drop it entirely, as there is no "official" audit option, and still attend like normal. What I got from talking to her was that she/the department would take care of it. I think we took care of it today, and it should furthermore be no problem.

It's better to teach my no-attention-span four-year-old English student with puppets than with a pencil and paper. I think she may have actually learned something today.

Scott from the Oregon Voice came through for me and scanned all my articles into a PDF file. I now have around 6 layout pieces I did myself or contributed to. Though the quality is low, the layout pieces combined with photography and other minor graphic design (webpages, stationery) alongside my (I think) excellent grades and reasons for wanting to take the class should be more than enough to comprise a decent digital portfolio. Wewty wewt wewt.

I got a manicure (my first one ever!) from Green and her nail-school friend today. My nails are all pink and sparkly and I have jewels stuck to a few of them. Needless to say, they're a bit gaudy and silly looking but it was nice to get an hour and a half's worth of attention with cuticle treatment, hand soak and painting for free. No, I'm not wearing acrylics, thank god... I wouldn't last in those for a day. As is, I wonder if the stuff she put on me will last through weighlifting tomorrow. Ho hum.

Tomorrow I'm eating "exotic" (read: Thai or Indian) curry with Kyoko and going to bed ass-early so that I can get up ass-early and go to Tsukiji fish market at the ass-crack of dawn to see the fish auction. [That's a LOT of ass for something that should be cool.] My Saturday is due to last from about 5AM to 11PM..
