This morning I went to a safety workshop for all tech/design majors where everyone was divided by major and we kind of played a sort of safety trivia game. I am happy to report that I am in the rowdiest major, which makes me happy. I think the only reason LD majors are rowdy in the morning is the fact that crossovers for repping children's shows ( Read more... )

So today I spent over two hundred dollars on drawing and drafting supplies. The sad thing is that it really isn't a lot of stuff. However, I have a few things that I need to exchange and return before my drafting class on Wednesday. My roommate and I went to one store called Dick Blick's where we bought the majority of our stuff. We had to walk a ( Read more... )

Does anyone want to help fund the "Get Betsy a Leatherman so she stack/ defend herself against attackers on the El/subway"?

I just got back from my first class at DePaul, History of Dramatic Lit. We didn't do much and I found out that class is cancelled on Friday. There is a very good chance that my other Friday class will be canceled too, which means that I will have a day free and only two days of class this week. WooHoo ( Read more... )

We also tried to send my Slinky "stepping" down the stairs with no luck, but some one commented that it works better on carpeted stairs. We also ( Read more... )

So I'm in Chicago, moved into my dorm, and half way through orientation. Today I meet with my advisor and register for classes. Lucky today there doesn't seem to be anything on the schedule involving a forced group discussion on something. Even though I've only been here a day I'm not sure how my roommates and I are going to do this year since the ( Read more... )

Today was day two of driving and since we made it to Chicago today I'm thinking it was a good thing that we left on Saturday as originally planned as opposed to Friday. Today wasn't quite as nice as yesterday, but I did see more interesting stuff ( Read more... )

Since I always see interesting things when I'm on road trips I have decided to list them here. Of course day one of driving was yesterday, but we stopped late last might so I didn't feel like posting. Here's what I saw yesterday and some commentary ( Read more... )
