Fall Classes & Poster Promotion Around IIT

Pictures of the Day] These are the two posters that I made and put up around school! WHOOOO!!!! I hope people like them. They stand out a bunch now because not many posters are up and they are very simple in design and solid-ish coloured.

Mood] Chipper

Currently] In my apartment

Quote of the Day] "I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it." I know. I know. It's been forever. :P I should've been posting, but summer really caught up at last and then I had to get ready for school blah bah blah. BUT, I can officially say now that the etsy store is open and that I must begin with my traditional class update!

Class Schedule for Fall 2011:

• FINAL SEMESTER OF STUDIO!!!! Wintergarden (Landscape) - MWF 2PM - 6PM Brubaker
• IPRO 353: Blue Island Landfill - TR 3:15PM - 4:30PM Rohter & Beck (Prof. Beck was actually one of my 2nd yr architecture professors! Cool!)
• Industrial Psychology - TR 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM Ellington

Latest updates regarding the store:

• We've listed a great deal of items so far and made 5 sales! I'm very proud that the word has been spreading.
  
• I've branched out to as many mediums for networking as I can possibly handle, which translates to managing the Facebook Page, the Facebook Group, joining two Etsy teams (which are like groups where you help one another out and meet with others who have similar tastes, aims, etc...as you), and even making a DeviantART account!
• I've found that a lot of the networking actually comes from favouriting/watching/following/add circle/joining anything and everything everywhere. X.x It's hard to check up every day but it's also fun. (This is also the reason why I haven't been on here as much. :( I have been debating whether or not I should make a separate blog for only the store or maybe even a twitter. Who knows...)
• I have uploaded some content onto my DeviantART page, but really a lot of it is making sure that people see the stuff up. This is accomplished my linking the page elsewhere, so I have been trying to do so. It's been fairly successful adventure so far!

Well I hope that we make some more sales soon. :D

Vacation

Picture of the Day] 50s Prime Diner rootbeer floats. The waitress warned us to drink them fast. My brother didn't fast enough apparently. I added a caption.

Quote of the Day] "Realism...has no more to do with reality than anything else."

We went to both restaurants in Hollywood Studios. It was great. There was the Sci-Fi Theatre Diner in which we sat in faux cars and the whole place was set up like an old drive-in theatre playing clips of sci-fi movies (they were all pretty much like trailers) Then there was the 50s Prime Time Diner which focused on playing clips from old shows and the setting looked like a kitchen with polka dots and old appliances and everything! (You can tell in the pic)

OH MY GOD HUMIDITY. That has been the absolute worst part of the vacation. The best part has been everything else. Ha ha ha. I got a tan and also have been enjoying the water a lot. Mostly it's been wading around, not actually swimming, plus the water here is very warm (not at all like Lake Michigan in Chicago!). We also went to Blizzard Beach which is a water park in Disney. I haven't been to a water park in a long time. IT was great. :D I went on the single slider that was like 120' tall, no joke. It was freaky. The worst part was that sliding to a stop gave me a REALLY BAD wedgie. X.x

I am pretty satisfied with my bathing suit choice. I was debating between a great number of combinations, but I finally chose the bright spunky set (I matched myself. You can kinda tell they don't belong together because the styles don't match in some ways because of the diff ties. Ha ha ha.) I was thinking of getting just a plain black halter top, but the green is good and I put it to good use in Orlando and a beach trip just before school started. I know the best spot for hanging out on the beach (no people and lots of cold water!!! Ha ha ha ha). I packed a nice picnic for boy and me. It was very pleasant.

Bye bye summer,
~Jaye
