Block Review
Apr. 13th, 2007 02:48 amWell I went in to take down my stuff and see the results of my review
Design/sketchbook process: Acceptable
Attendance: Acceptable:
Deadlines: Acceptable
GPA: Unacceptable
I was not accepted into the Block Program and am supposed to talk with my current design instructor for further feedback.
So right now the plan is to bring my gpa up, possibly taking a water color or silkscreen, or printmaking class(either of the later would also give me items to bring into my portfolio) and try again) As I also still have on core( writing intensive social studies) class I need to take, and want to take two more art history courses to end with an art history minor I think I can do it. Apparently while you can apply for Block in either fall or spring semester you can only start in the fall. So I may do one studio art and extra art history in the fall 2007 bring my gpa up(hopefully) the then do the core and extra art history in spring 2008 and apply then. And pray as you are only allowed to go up for block twice. SO I have to get in next time or else transfer to a different school or pick a different major(and quite frankly I'm too invested in the art stuff to go into anything but art or art education which I'm too anti-social for)
After I got the results I joined several of the other graphic students and So's for sushi and booze. SIL Debbie came along as my designated driver. The place we went to was Ra's sushi grill and bar. Overly trendy but at least the booze wasn't watered down in the slightest as I found out with their Screaming Ninja shot. Tasted like mouthwash but very very effective on an empty stomach. The Sea Monkey Martini was very good as well and there was one more drink I can't remember the name of. Afterwards we left due to Debbie noticing the SO of one my classmates spending too much time talking when he his girlfriend wanted to leave. It was still pretty early so we went looking for a bar so I could have more booze. Found one where I had a nice rum and coke and a tequila slammer and we spent a great deal of time bitching about my mom. The we went to House of Pies because we were in the area and Debbie loves their strawberry/rhubarb pie(and after dealing with my drunkenness she deserved it)
I'm now in my post drinking crunching ice/drinking water stage of the evening preparing to go to bed. thankfully I took the day off work tomorrow/today knowing I'd either be too happy or too disappointed to be of any use and lord knows I have the vacation time.
