so like a good little girl...I did my homework...hehe...but for ironic turn of events...I might be dropping this class if the work from 2d design is good enough...which means no more design 1...and no more Saturday class...which is good...but bad because I really like the teacher...but anyways...today was cool...I woke up went grocery shopping with mommie...oh and we recycled...I feel so American...hehe...and went to Swains and bought some stuff for hw....and I found out that Swains does this thing where it closes off the store to everyone but Art Center students...and they keep it open from 7:30pm to midnite...I was so pleasantly surprised...and finallllllllly I can get my Art Center Art Card....yay...so then I came home and finished up hw....and took another grandma nap...hehe...afterwards...I picked up Aida...and we went to Hollywood & Highland...so I have offically been there now...we had dinner at CPK...and the waiter gave us dessert on him...Tiramisu....yummmmie...its funny how good things taste when they're free...hehe...so that was cool....then we hung out a bit and listened to some music....dammit Bryan Adams and his voice...we were listening to the Spirit Soundtrack...I almost cried...hehehe...but anyways...that was my Sunday...short but sweet...and now its time to go read the other article for class and sleep...before I go...some words from Aida "I can see through your game boy cuz its the clear version" and after rhyming two phrases together she likes to say "I'm a Poet and I dont even know it...I make a rhyme everytime"....from one of her favorite cartoons Freakazoid...now time for some Z's...thats another topic....why is sleeping called getting ur Z's...I'm sorry do u make a Z noise when you sleep?

how about a little on yesterday first...meaning sept.5...the second day of orientation...which turned out to be much more interesting because we learned about the history of art center....and how the original campus was in Downtown LA...then after all that we got the great honor of standing in line for and hour and half to get our schedules and student IDs...so yea...I have a really crazy schedule...with 11 hr days on both Mondays and Tuesdays...then 7 hr days on Wednesdays and Saturdays...yes I said Saturdays....but it turns out its a pretty cool class cuz the teacher is so hilarious...I really like her...and today was our first meeting...here's an interesting fact I learned...the thinner that we use to thin out rubber cement...yea it was used to deliver warfare....hmm that cant be so good...hehe...then she proceeded to show us a $50 paintbrush...ONE paintbrush....a SINGLE paintbrush for fifty freakin' I'm gonna be broke art student smackeroos...and later in class when she couldn't find this paintbrush...she then said that and I quote "the little people have it and they'll bring it back when they're done"...something apparently her father would tell her when she was a kid...but he also added that "leaving them a little beer" would help...hehe...anyways this is my Design 1 teacher (Mary)...afterwards we started taking notes..."time to take notes for notes"- fanny...hehe...so yea we were taking notes on how to take notes for this particular class...it was appropriately confusing....anyways...so then I came home and took my grandma nap....and went over to Noras to watch The Shining (redrumredrumredrum)....and Pulp Fiction....The Shining obviously was good...and since I had seen it before...this time I got a chance to watch out for details like the contrast of various noises like when the kid is riding his tricycle over the hardwood floor then on the rug...then the hardwood floor and back and forth...it was great....as for Pulp Fiction...it was pretty cool...I was a little tired...so I wasn't quite there the whole time...however I like Uma Thurman's character....and Mr. Wolf.....so now its Sunday morning basically and I swear...I'm going to be good and do my hw tomorrow...its not much...actually...this is actually my last weekend of freedom until winter break probably so...we'll see how it goes....but today still didnt feel like school....it hasnt quite hit me yet...probably when I go through a full weeks worth of classes...maybe itll hit me then...we'll see...I know I'm excited...and nervous as hell...but I never expected this to be easy...so here goes....full force...I'm coming through...Art Center I have arrived....beware I can be a crazy biznatch...hehhee...j/k I love getting out of character...orite time for some sleep...aww sleep hopefully I'll have the privilege to do that too =)

oops I missed yesterday...actually its because I was too sad to write about my last day of summer...which started out really boring and ended up great...I had lunch with my friend Paul...it was nice to catch up and hang out before school starts...and I had dinner with Aida and Nora...it was sooooooo much fun...I didnt wanna leave..dinner was so hilarious because once again...nairi doesn't know how to use chopsticks and aida tried to feed me but proceeded to drop the sushi onto my plater splattering soy sauce everywhere...it was great...mmmm...Phili Rolls are oh so good...and then we took a drive up to art center...and it was the creepiest drive because it was so dark...and for those of you who dont know where art center is...its in the middle of a foresty area....smells like campfire at nite....it has this bittersweet quality to it...but yea today was the first day of orientation and it was above everything else....tirinnnnng....so much information to take in wowie...two very funny things happened though...they showed us a safety video...and they accidentally showed us the unedited version so we got to see all the mistakes...retakes...and then the guy who's giving us the lesson...his cell phone goes off...then he starts "I thought I turned it off...I'm sorry I really thought it turned this thing off...orite lets start over again."....thats where everyone did the "ooooooo" grunt cuz it went back like 5 mins to reshoot the part that his phone interrupted...wowie...during the video i thought it was a cool artsy thing to keep us all interested cuz it was REALLY FUNNY...heheh..but when the video finished the girl apologized for showing us the unedited version...how sad for the guy in the video...how embarrassing...oh well...oh and the english test was annoying...i think i did ok...i hope...and then after the test we got "free" lunch...aka...crap...we also had a very informative session about stafford loans....and that was the other funny part of the day...I swear the Washington Mutual lady speaking to us about loans was high or drunk....she was soooo funny...she kept cracking jokes through the whole thing....all of a sudden she'd go into this creepy voice and say "stahahahford loanssss"....and then she'd be like ooo have I got stories...I was the poster child for what not to do with student loans....it was so funny...we couldnt help but laugh at her...how sad...hehe...afterwards...we had a very americanized version of shish kabob...which I have to say was cute...because the setting was really nice in the back....trees...grass...nice people...it was sweet....and we met some new people which was cool...and i hope to me meet more...with today i feel more like a i belong in this school...its such a gratifying and exciting experience...im overwhelmed....hopefully not too much to enjoy things like...LIFE =)

OoOoOoO..Where do I begin?....so it all started this morning when I picked up Aida from her house at 9:30....about 10 ish we got to Magic and when I saw X....I DIED...hehe...It felt like the tram taking us to the park...was Hades...taking us to the underworld....I was scared I have to admit...but of course as we planned before...we started gradually from rides that were ok to rides that were insane (or so I thought)....so the rides we sat on were Revolution, Viper, Log Jammer, Goliath, Colossus, Scream, Batman, Riddler's Revenge, Roaring Rapids, Superman, Gold Rusher (for old times sake), Ninja, Arrowhead, and of course X...and I am happy to say...I enjoyed all of these rides...where I killed 3 phrases after each ride...."That was it?"....."I didn't feel anything"...."That was so cool"......hehe...but of course above all X was the most different of all the rides there....because wowie...when your individual seat does a 360 as your riding an already crazy ride...thats a whole other dimension of OH MY GOD....hehe...it was fantastic...hehe..so much fun...and we tried this thing called a funnel cake...very yummie indeed...nice way to end the day...but one of the funniest things we did was....on the water ride Arrowhead...Aida decided to advertise by holding up her Arrowhead water bottle...and it turned out perfect because we both looked in the camera and smiled in the same freakish "YAY" kinda smile hehe...if that makes any sense....but yea...overall very successful day...and now I have corrected history so that we will remember 8th grade and laugh at it all...but there is still one thing...Aida wanted Corn and the Water massage but decided not to get it...since it was one of those things where if your friend does it you'll do it too...and yes you guessed right...I didn't feel like it...sorry Aida...guess we have to go back again...darn!...hehe...oh and it turns out orientation starts Sept.4...yay yay...I get to sleep in one last time =)

So after much thought...I realized Nora had a good point...since I will be joining the land of the horribly occupied I will need some portal to communicate with those of you who I would normally be contacting....but because of these circumstances...I won't be able to most of the time...so here's a place for my friends to feel up to date with my life...even though it will consist mostly of what happened at school...whose crit of my work was the worst...and what good lookin' instructor I have...so basically its no longer...Hi I'm Nairi...I go to school...am activily part of a family and a group of friends....now its Hi I go to Art Center...and it allows me to have limited contact with my family and friends....sad but true...then again im really excited for school to start...I don't know what's in store for me...but we'll see I guess....anyways aside from all that....I'm going to Magic tomorrow....and I swear! I'm gonna sit on most of the rides....its kind of a day to get over rollercoaster anxiety/fears/whatever...and a day of payback since I totally ruined Aida's first experience of Six Flags back when we got to go in 8th grade...we sat on Gold Rusher and Ninja (yea...I was terrified) so I'm really looking forward to it...I hope I survive...and that its fun...yea!
