Study Tricks
Me: I am never going to remember that Drayton Hall is in Charleston, South Carolina. For some reason I guessed Salem, Massachusetts.
Jeremy: Well its obviously not Massachusetts, see its got Spanish moss hanging off the trees. Just remember, double porches... you'll get raped in Charleston.
Me: THAT'S TERRIBLE!
Jeremy: But you'll remember it.

Jeremy: Student for life, Mandi. Student. For. Life.
Double Edge Sword
So, I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the internship I applied for at IDEO. It’s okay. I’m actually really okay with that.

I couldn't care less
about my studio project right now.
ps- I need to spend less money
Boy oh boy do I hate studying.
Especially art history. Bleh.
The weather was lovely today...
So I took and awesome bike ride to the NC museum of art along the green way. It was awesome.
Almost getting hit by a truck on my way to the grocery store… Not so awesome.
Yay! New Website!
So, I had to buy my own host and switch my website over to the new host. Unfortunately that meant I had to rebuild my website. But it was a happy accident cause it gave me a reason to make all of the edits and changes that I’ve been wanting to make but too lazy. New theme, my works in progress blog directly on my site, and clean layout. I’m really excited.
CHECK IT OUT!

Under Review
Just heard that my application for IDEO is under review. Oh man. I’m going to be checking my email like a maniac for the next week or two.
Dreams in Class
Today I fell asleep in my astronomy class. I had a dream where I was in class with my laptop on my lap and a bunch of other little things (cell phone, pens, etc) and everything kept falling off my lap. I feel like I was twitching the whole time trying to keep things from falling off my lap.

Circulation Desk Chats
Patron: So what major are you?
Me: Graphic Design
....awkward silence...
Me: I take it you're in architecture?
Patron: heh... yeah
Me: ... or you just really like checking out books on Peter Zumthor and Stephen Holl.
Please Hold.
You would think, by the year 2011, we would have come up with the technology to improve the sound quality of the “on hold” music. It always sounds like they’re playing the music on an 80’s cassette tape in a boombox out in the middle of a wind storm.
…
Or like I’m stuck between radio stations.
Spring Break
I think I want to visit San Fran for spring break. For like 2 days +2 days for flying there and back.
Part of me is like “YEAH thats awesome travel forever!”
but the other more practical part is like , “Dude… you want to be able to see all of the things in Europe this summer, right?”

Jeremy: People like Cook Out. They like shoving burgers up their butts.

My work was in a for real publication!
So my type professor from Sophomore year asked me this past fall if I would send her a copy of my refined typeface from last spring (hyperparaboloid). I sent it to her and it ended up being used in Ninth Letter no.16! So cool. You can actually see it on that page. It’s the one that says “Prose, Art, Poetry” (its the Table of contents).
I just found out yesterday when my...

American Film Industry. You cannot cut/copy this one. I know it might be strange to you, but sometimes a show makes a shitload of money because it is QUALITY and it DESERVES IT. Not because it’s a market quantifier or buzz marketed into people brains. There is no Sherlock bandwagon. Go home and write something new.
you said it sister
gross

Tortellini Soup
Tonight I made a tortellini, spinach and tomato soup. It was delicious. It will also be lunch for the next couple of days.
This morning.
Some how this morning my apartment mate and I woke up simultaneously (at 730 am). I had purposely woken up because I had to be at work at 9 am. However, I’m pretty sure he forgot it was MLK day at first and therefore had no classes. While he decided to eat breakfast, I got in the shower. During that time, I assume that he realized it was MLK day and went back to sleep. But not before putting...
