Sophomore Year & All Else...

Thu Sep 10, 2009, 4:11 PM
Hey to everyone who is reading this. It's been a few months since I made a journal, so tis time I update.

So I'm a month or so into my sophomore year of College. It is a vastly different year for me so far because I am now a stipend position in Coastal Carolina University's Coastal Productions Board, the student-run social event programming organization on campus. I am the Public Relations & Administrative Coordinator, which means that I take care of poster,flyer, etc designs for advertising events, as well as other duties. A stipend position gives pay through tuition instead of regular paychecks, which has its good points. However it limits my hours that I can work for my regularly-paid campus job with Information Technology Services setting up, fixing, etc. computers. But what I lose in hourly wages, I gain by having a lot to add to my portfolio and resume.

I hope to start submitting the finished posters on here shortly, whenever I have time.

Classes-wise, I am taking a course that teaches how to use Autodesk 3Ds Max, a 3D modeling and animation program. I almost feel overwhelmed by this class because of having to learn the program well enough to complete vast assignments, all of which preclude the possibility of taking another course in the spring called Ashes2Art, a class that can encompass several disciplines/majors to digitally reconstruct ancient monuments; lately, it has been ancient Greek monuments. For this class, I would be doing far more than anything I'll be doing in the class I'm currently in, which makes up for much of the overwhelming feeling.

I'm taking a lovely math course. Yay...

I'm also taking Intro to Elec. Design, which should rightfully be called Intro to Graphic Design. My professor is new to Coastal, but has taught for several years and has owned his own design company. He's a great addition to Coastal's Art department, and has so far been a good professor. I'm eager to see what I'll get out of this class artwork-wise.

Enough about school.

It is proving to be difficult for me to get into the field of Model Photography. I'm just too poor to be able to afford studio equipment, and don't have a studio or any other indoor space to work with, and a limited knowledge of local spots that I can't get to if I can't get a ride. I have yet to get my driver's license because of having to finish driving school. And even once I have a license, I have no car of my own to be able to freely us as I wish. But I am still determined to get into the field.

...Thanks, and thanks for the fav on it. Would've liked for it to have been at least a semi-finalist piece for that contest, but oh well...

...& thanks for the fav on one of the Murrells Inlet photos. I loved the dogs that were there that day, & I really love that whole area. There's a lot of potential for some beautiful photos there...

No new art. No new photos. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!
College, eh? Flippin college. I want to drop out...or just drop out of getting my AA. I'm dualing majors right now and I'm gonna be so stressed taking all those classes. No time for a job or anything. >.<
I misses you D'Alessandro
:iconlord-of-lost-souls:
...college has been a killer on artwork time, yeah. : \ I have lots of things from my classes that I can put up on here, but just have to have the time to get it submission-worthy. & I have no time for non-school art...

...You are crazy for dual-majoring ;p. But no droping out. :thumbsdown: I know how you feel, though. This semester, I have 2 on-campus jobs and 18 credits (4 3-credit classes, 1 4-credit math, & 2 1-creds), and that's the simple way of putting it. I have no time for assignments ^^; ...

:peace:
