Today was awfully pleasant. I woke up and knocked out some homework. Once my mom got up I asked her if she wanted to go for run and see a matinee. It was the perfect day for a matinee as well as a run. She said yes, however that changed. Instead she said it was too nice out to stay inside and that we should take the dog for a walk, play frisbee, and then run to south street, so that's what we did. Once we got to south street we browsed around going in and out of stores. We then walked back to our house and on our way got some fresh meat and vegetables from Amish people. They're really nice. Anyways, that was my day so far. Hope tonight goes well too.

About a year ago, I was filling out a million applications a day, trying to get a job.  I didn't care who hired me; I was just desperate for something.

While working in the lit lab one afternoon, I got a call from Sue, the assistant store director at Acme.  She told me that she reviewed my online application and would like to schedule an interview.  I was ecstatic.

A week later, I met with the store director of the Andorra Acme.  Right from the start, I knew that Joe liked me after we started talking about music and Paramore.  He told me that I was just the person he was looking for and hired me right then and there.

Once I began working, I made sure to put in 100% of my effort every single day.  I followed the "GOT" values, which are the essential customer satisfaction rules: Greet, Offer, and Thank anyone who walks into the store.  I was praised many times for my wonderful service.

Yesterday I had a meeting with Sue to discuss the changes that Supervalu and Acme had in store for the upcoming months.

Then she told me that the company, not her and Joe, had decided to lay me off.

I took the paper she handed me that basically said my hire date and official end date of May 7th.

I ran to the bathroom and fell apart.  How could this happen?  I worked so hard to do my best and to make every Acme customer feel welcome.  I exceeded expectations as an Acme associate and planned on staying with that company for a long time.

As I was leaving, Sue said "Trust me.  You're one of the ones I want to keep." 

I found out that Mike Rice, another grocery employee, was also laid off.  He and I have been friends since I began working there.  Although he acted like he wasn't as upset as me, I could tell he was hurting just as bad.

I have made so many great friends working at Acme.  The joking and playing around made the work experience extremely fun. There were times when I actually wanted to go to work early  because I knew that I would have such a great time working alongside those particular people.  My job became enjoyable, which is ideal for anyone who has to work such long shifts like I did.

I have come to realize that although I am devastated at Acme's decision, I have gained so much experience working there.  I now have the ability to take that experience and reference and use it to find another job in the future.

With that said, I am starting my McDonald's job next weekend.  It just so happens that McDonald's is in the same shopping center as Acme.  Guess who is going to be visiting Acme every so often?

:p

This was an interesting and frustrating quarter for me. We had to make a how-to sculpture,   and draw something repeatedly, which didn't turn out as well I wanted it to be.  We had to find a how-to sculpture and make it. I decided to make a jet out of k'nex pieces after seeing a how to on the internet. I liked this the most out of the things we did for the last quarter.  We also had to take a lot of pictures and then edit them using some form of picture editor like and app or photoshop.  We were required to replicate a famous piece of art.  The easy part was sketching, I felt confident that everything was somewhat accurate.  When It came time to add details, I started to realize that color pencil may not have been the best choice.  I chose to draw the Scream.  Drawing a bike is something that I have never tried to do before in an art class.  The line drawing seemed simple enough, but a lot of detail was needed for a final product that looked good.  The smaller drawings I did were okay, but when I had to do it on a larger scale it came out horrible.  I tried drawing it over several times, but just decided to finish  because it didn't get much better.  Drawing in negative space is something that I've never done at all, which may have been why I had trouble drawing the bike in negative space.

This doesn't seem real

As I sat on the AC boardwalk talking to a friend and holding the leash of a dog I'd just met, an object fell through my peripheral vision. I looked down and saw a small white rod resting on my grey leggings. I flicked it. It stuck to my finger. I looked above me, past the wooden canopy, to see a small bird on the electrical wire.  Great. 

a taste of what occupies my time (things like this).

Wanted eggs this morning but had rice pudding

ive started on everything but my capstone, i feel good too . sigh , 46 days left and im out this bullshit of a place .

Fui a Venezuela un tiempo cuando era una niña en un barco con mi abuelo pero no recuerdo mas.  Quiero ir un otras tiempo y visitó las playas y tiene divertida con mi familia.  Lugares como Colonia Tovar, Roraima,  y Salto Aponguao.

This morning you smiled at me and all I felt was your warmth.
This afternoon you looked down at me with sad eyes and I felt your pain.
This evening you glared in my general direction and I felt your coldness.

Yesterday you held me close for a few infinite minutes and touched my forehead with your gentle lips.
Today you looked through me, turned away and kept walking in the opposite direction.
And who knows what tomorrow will bring.

You change in an instant, it never takes even a word. My very being make you run between happiness, sadness, anger and so many things in between. And eventually you'll come back to me in happiness and walk away in anger all over again. And I'll still accept you willingly and watch you leave with tears in my eyes and then I will straighten my back and keep walking through life as best I can as the cycle repeats itself over and over.

Si me fui a Venezuela, me gustaría ir a la ciudad Caracas. Me gustaría que esta porque Caracas es la capital y la ciudad más grande. La ciudad tiene muchos puntos de interés y, si es posible, me gustaría ver a todos. También me gustaría comer la comida culturales.

A. Negative Space is the space behind the object. By that I mean if you are drawing an object inside a room the space behind that object is negative space.

B. In my drawing: In my cut out the way I found the negative space was by making the opposite side of the actual drawing. So opposite and opposite equals the whole drawing. I know this is hard to comprehend but thats how I did it.

In my stool drawing: In my drawing I found the negative space behind the object. This is including the holes and spaces through the object that does't count as the object itself.

C. To know the surroundings and how to fill space in that is not included in the object, that you are drawing.

D. Yes It makes the person focus on that actual drawing.

Capstone presentations are coming fast and well... I need to work on my capstone! So I have been partnered with Mr. Blocks father (or I was supposed to) however our communication was not fluid so our collaboration was broke apart. Before it was broke apart however I recieved some valuable information about what is supposed to be inside a business proposal and on top of that a book which illustrates many neat things. Time to get to work!

There is a species of red ants that travel to other smaller ant colonies, kill everyone there, take the eggs, hatch them, and force the newborns to be their slaves. A typical slave making ant colony of 3,000 will have an average of 6,000 slave ants working for it.

I learned that today... pretty cool. I'm so stressed right now I can hardly take it. I have no idea how to work my TUPortal account to accept my award letter from Temple, if anyone did it already, PLEASE show me. I am really nervous about preforming in the semi's tomorrow, even though I have everything memorized and know what I'm doing. I don't know what I would talk about if I were called tomorrow in storytelling. And until I know where I'm going to school next year I think it's just going to stay like this. I hate all this uncertainty, I'm not someone who can handle that very well...

I would just like to give a props to Will Ferrel for having the balls to be disgusting and unattractive in his movies. While it's at many times disturbing, it's good comedy (for many). I'm very impressed that the man is not self-concious about his body expecially in a society where looks seems to get you much farther than talent.  Way to go Will Ferrel! I'm proud of you but yet a bit disgusted at the same time.

I hate my life....sooooooo much!
