Day 9

Monday, June 28

We were all back to the normal morning routine again today. We got a guest speaker that visited to talk about admissions to CalPoly it was really interesting and I learned a lot about the admissions process for CalPoly in specific. Afterwards, one of the first yr architecture teachers talked to us about our assignment. We had 1 1/2 hours to take pictures of our journey through a space. We had to do at least 4 spaces and take more then 6 pictures of each. We then uploaded the images to a computer (and the shared server), put them in 5x7 black and white photos and printed them. We then had to trace about 4 or 5 different aspects of them (lines, light and dark, shadow, vantage point, etc) and then one final composed of a few of them. We then mounted the pictures and begun to cut them out and cut out what we thought was the most important part (one or multiple aspects of the sketches). We get more time to work on it tomorrow but it was really fun :)

The lunch break was awesome because we went to the campus bookstore and I looked at the iPad while people were getting other stuff they needed to buy. I have completely changed my mind on the iPad and think it would actually be a valuable investment if it had a built-in camera and had way more storage. I actually like the Mac version of word, excel, and ppt after I have worked with them for a while but they are sort of confusing to figure out. The games are really fun too (not that that should be the main part) and the speakers are actually very nice. I'm excited now to see where they take it next!

We went running again today before dinner (Megan, Dennis, Ellen and I) and it felt really nice to get a workout :) The food here isn't extremely healthy but it is ok as long as we get some exercise with it. We then continued our puzzle (we finished it!! and it was 1000 pieces!!) and I video chatted with Bryan at ten twentyish. It was awesome talking to him again, even if it was just for a little while.

I am so tired so I'm heading to bed early today. I will keep you updated!
