The Apple

I was about to kick it because it wouldn't turn on.
But, it was only the batteries-- working good with a fresh pair!
Look, my mouse looks like a predator. >8D

Class Session - Sept 27th
Alright, alright, I will start. Q uQ Mind all the odd ball text faces.
Certainly not my first day of classes, but CSULA is still pretty new to me. I just transferred in from PCC, and had to navigate via ORIENTATION MAP. Irritating thing is that I need to get to school via bus. Two buses, actually. If I'm late, I missed the bus. One comes at my street every thirty minutes and then I have to catch the Silver Line. I still haven't gotten my TAP card. Don't they know poor unemployed students need those as soon as possible?
Other than that, before I get into Tuesday...
I still don't have my Design Process book. It's a required reading for the class, and it's certainly not in the CSULA bookstore anymore. 8T I wonder if I can find it online? I hope so. Anyone want to scan all the assigned reading pages until I get it? Pfff-- what to do.
Anyway, time to carry on. Tuesday, Tuesday....
September 27th, 2010.
Our professor is Jimmy Moss. For some reason, I thought it said James Moss on the enrollment thing. But, nope, it's Jimmy. After a sudden change in classrooms (I didn't like the other one anyway-- stools < rollychairs), we all got these name cards to fill out. On the front, we wrote our names, and on the back, we wrote what he expected to learn and do.
Concept Development Class.
... develop out art? Learn how to do it better?
You don't really have an exact idea when you head into a class titled that. All the other art classes' titles are pretty straight forward, but this one is like.. to the point, yet obscure enough to keep you guessing.
But, after he read and answered all the questions, he tried to get us to explain what concept was. I have no idea-- I swear everyone just sat there, trying to think up a smart answer. So whatever, I started the with "I think it's an idea." I'm not sure how, but we got into the topic of Red Bull. It's an energy drink-- that I never drank. I've always thought it was like, an alcoholic drink. 8Db Its commercials always made me go "......I don't get it. Did that bird just go to Heaven when it drank that?" I'm not religious, but that's what I thought.
Next order of business was ... the apple. I thought he was feeding us.
And, turns out, no. He wasn't. We were told to stare at it, lick it (that I didn't dare do--- and I don't think anyone else did either), and smell it. Well, easy enough. Smells like apple! I was partnered up with Daniel (Right? I'm terrible with names-- absolutely terrible), and we basically listed out all our thoughts. Pretty similar-- not much you can say about apples without getting into the shape and color positioning. After 3 minutes of that, Jimmy comes back in and tells us to switch with someone else.
And then I get an interesting apple. It has a odd little stem coming out of it. Wilted bud at the end. Jimmy even said, "keep that on!" That would have been really fun to draw--- you know, if it stayed on during the ride in the backpack. 8D
Yeah. It fell off. Life is unfair. D8<
