Boxing Day

This morning, Henry and I got up at 6 and went to Futureshop/Best Buy/ Polo Park. I spent $200 at Futureshop. I bought an external 320 GB portable hard drive for $100, a wireless laser mouse for Johnny $15, a 8GB SD Card $10, a 4 GB sony memory stick/card for $25 (for henry's PSP), 2GB Ram for my macbook $25. Best Buy was sold out of a wireless router ($20). It is something I wanted but it isn't something I need cause we already have one but the range isn't all that good, Having said that I am still able to pick up a decent connection from my work station in the basement. I saw the man grab the last one and you know that you can sense when someone else wants what you have. lol After gazing at him for a few seconds (he was indecisive but our presence made his decision), we just walked away. I went to Mexx and Sport Chek at Polo while Henry went to EB Games. The sales at the mall weren't that good, I bought a T-shirt from Mexx. It has been 50% off the entire store for a week and boxing day was no different. I bought 2 dress shirts (really nice), a sweater, and a tie last weekend because of their 50% sale. I also bought a belt 2 weeks ago but it was only 30% off at the time. After discounts, the shirts were $35, the sweater was $22.50, tie was $30, and the belt was $24. It was good to get the belt hen I did because they didn't have my size when it was 50% off. The shirts are black with grey stripes and a the second is a grey and black striped pattern. I can't describe them but they are really nice. I got complements when I wore the first one to work. The second is slim fit and is more for formal occasions. I really like Mexx clothes, though they are expensive, they are my favourite name brand because they fit me well. I like Calvin Klein as well for that reason. I don't like Tommy Hilfiger, because even their small is too large for me. I bought two short sleeve shirts last summer, my friend works at the store, they were 40% off, but they are a bit loose fitting. I prefer slim fitting (not tight) but I like to go for the tailored look. I only buy these clothes because of the sale. I can't afford $70 for a dress shirt, just yet, lol :)

School is finally OUT for Christmas...

Finally done everything....portfolios for studio, drawing and construction are all done! Now, my break can FINALLY begin!

Final Presentations

I had my final studio presentations today afternoon...they went quite well and then we went to Red Cactus as a studio group to unwind.

I just had the toughest weekend of the year...After a 3 hour exam on Friday morning (my one and only :D), things just worsened and intensified. I've had basically no real sleep or meals, sleeping over at school on a couch and I had a nasty cold. My other sick friend and I went through 3 boxes of kleenex over three days. I have bloody red eyes.

The studio was so cold that I brought in my own space heater, along with a sleeping bag and a blow dryer to dry glue quicker...Elmers is great modeling glue btw.

I'm not completely off the hook yet, I still have portfolios to make but that isn't stressful, just pricey to print and bind. My final studio project was over $200.
