Little to report. I can't manage to make the happenings of Massland sound interesting. Classes have been going well enough. The semester has rolled into the later half, so final projects and papers are being discussed. My, has it gone fast. Pretty soon, I'll have my degree, and I'll be a real official artist! (OH NO!) Here's an unordered list of happenings:

• I've been making a bird-lady sculpture out of wire. Entirely out of wire. By going around and around with roll after roll of tie wire. The cost is actually becoming significant! Tomorrow, I'll be working on her hips. If anybody wants, I can take pictures as I finish it.


• My biology class, I'm going to pass it! I passed the second exam just fine, so I'm sitting pretty. I can't believe I would ever worry like that about a freshman-level class, much less in one that I know most of the material in, but it happened with trigonometry, so...


• 3-D modeling and animation has grown on me, but not enough to do much of it on my own. I've managed to go from behind in the class, to ahead of the rest of the class, which is uncharacteristic of me. Amazing how much skill I've gained: I went from not knowing my ass from the interface to worring about the finer points of 3-d character design. The instructor is pretty inspiring -- maybe that's a part of it?


• I've been having instant messaging connectivity problems lately. I tried to go on earlier today, and it, uh, failed. Sorry if this left a weird inpression on people I was trying to talk to grrr! Let's hope these are the self-solving kind of problems.
