update on my status :)

as noted by the smiley face, things are finally working out well. 

God has been awesome and He not only found me a bunch of wonderful girls to live with, but also a wonderful house in an AWESOME location at a wonderful affordable price that was within my budget. The house is located in one of the safest part of downtown savannah, and is NOWHERE near a ghetto. It is a 5 minute walk to the shopping area and one of the school dorms that EVERY bus goes to, a few blocks away from my graphic design building, scad health center and security center and it's directly across the street from a good printing shop which will be very very useful when i start my graphic design classes :D it is located next door above a lil cafe which i can always go down to get food when i'm hungry, above a lil art shop for inspiration and across a park square. the landlord for the apartment was in charge of the whole area so everyone in there knew him and he was so friendly, like a fatherly figure to all of us <3

once we have moved things in and set the house up, i'll post up pictures. for now it's really cluttered with boxes because the current tenant is moving. but yeah. i'm really really glad that everything worked out and i'll still be within walking distance to naomi, whom have been spending ALOT of time with me. LOL. it's insane. PLUS...though the house is unfurnished, my singaporean friend who has just graduated is selling her furniture to be at $10 a piece. this includes 2 mattresses, 2 desks and even a television. AND AND AND. in the midst of my house hunting, I found a bike selling for $30! WHOOT. wonderfulness :) God is good and He has certainly provided for my every need :) 

I'm living with 3 other girls in the house and will have my own room. They have very wonderfully agreed to pay their share of rent over the summer when they are not here so I dont have to carry the burden or worry about subletting the place. they were really friendly and it was pretty easy to clique and they were so considerate in asking me about where my boundaries were so that I would be sure that I made the right decision. once we agreed to be roommates they introduced me to their friends bit by bit and it was just an awesome time of making new friends. 

speaking of new friends, I realised i've become friendlier this quarter and have decided to become more involved. must be bauer's influential motivational talks. Bauer is my 3d professor who behaves really horribly. cursing and talking about shit and his testicles. it is very very awkward when he touches them to shift them around his pants. very gross. i am very disturbed by him in class but at the same time, it's amusing and i'm finding 3d to be one of my favourite classes for the quarter. but then again....it's not that hard since i only have 3 classes and i hate english. 

nonetheless, classes has been going on decently and i am learning stuff. My jurassic park visual effects professor is really anal and it's soooo hard to get a good grade in that class. GRRRRR. goodness gracious me :( will post up pictures of my first 3d project soon...or once i get it back. i forgot to take a picture of it before i submitted it and now it's on display. hoho. 

so while i'm starting to catch up with my work and re-juggle everything, I've managed to find time to watch a few shows while working on projects or just slacking away. This week alone, I managed to watch peter pan, lion king and a troll in central park. old cartoons reminiscent of my childhood. ok...not peter pan. not really a fan of it, but michelle wanted to watch it. oh well. 

anyhows...gonna have to re-submit some works for another foundation honors competition. it's an awesome opportunity to sell your work for $350 a piece and still win $100-200 on top of that. since it requires matting and framing, i'm hoping less people will bother with it. HUR HUR HUR. thankfully baronian made us make BIG SCALE drawings so i am excused from having to mat or frame it cos it's too ridiculously expensive. YAY. wish me luck!
