yesterday was good. I didn't see the grandmas though. I ran around town with my mom and then watched an Alferd Hichcock: "Strangers in Trains". It was a little freaky. Then a bunch of us SCHS girls hung out. I stayed the night, because of the late hour. yeah.

Then this morning I got up and went to track & FIELD practice with Michelle. It was sort becuase of the rain. I just ran. it was fun to see all the coaches and everything. I then came home and made my family lunch. I am now going out to have lunch with my Grandma McCauley!! YAY!

but I can't wait until tomorrow!

Tuesday:

WOW. What a day. I woke up and worked out as planned. That was a pleasant surprise!
I got home and was making a wonderful salads when a found out that Dinah's Aunt died. So I invited Dinah to go with me and get oil and things at the store. We turned it into a distracting event. Who knew going and getting oil and filters would be an even and FUN too.

But I am sure Dinah and I could make anything fun!

So, I changed to oil on the truck and then us girls (Michelle, Dinah, jenny, and I) headed out to the loop. We had a bunch of fun. Save Dinah attempting to get a tattoo... I hate them and she doesn't need one. And the "coffee" we got had no coffee in it. They turned out to be hot chocolates. :(
TO remedy that we had an excellent meal at A&W. yum.

I wound up falling asleep at 8 pmish and I didn't get up until 11 amish. Oops. Well it is time to go visit the grandmas!

peace.

MONDAY!

yay. So it was a wonderful day, save the finding out I owe my school another load of MONEY. That really stinks. I went to the mall with my cousins (little guys). I convinced michelle to buy "Screwy" earrings. They are cute: a little screw through the ear. If My ears were pierced. i would have bought them for myself! I looked at skates... WOW the ones I want are over $200.

"Wherefore art thou Romeo?" (sorry, we were quoting Shakespeare)

So I don't know what I should do.. Now that I have spent so much and i owe the school soooo much... but I will have to see.

I hung out with Dinah and Jenny tonight... That was fun.. I wanted to go with them to see michelle in Tennessee but that would have broke my mommy's heart...

So I am here in St. Charles! I plan on working out with mommy in the morning. And then oil changing time with Daddy.

I love MICHELLE and Michael (my Cuz)!

My cousins have wrote all over my hands they look HORRIBLE! The drew pictures that resemble Donnie Darko's bunny! It is scary! (no it doesn't it is a pretty smiley face)~ says little mike.

well that is the day. i will talk later~!

Friday...

I went to KC and hung out at the airport with Briana. That was fun.
Then went to Sally's. We went to the worst opera I have ever been to!! It was "A mid-summer's night's dream". It IS MEANT to be a play... And that is all! Benjamin Britain did a bad job!!! Sorry dude.

When we got back to Sally's we talked until I fell asleep. From what I remember I was in mid sentence. The next morning I woke and it was nearly noon. We got all dressed up and we walked down to the plaza. The original plan was to read in the park, but the weather was not the best for that.

The plaza was not the best Idea..... There were a few sales. I spent over $300. I have never went on such a shopping spree with out warning.

BUT I have bought the COOLEST suit. I have been wanting a suit forever. And I finally found one I LOVE! It looks good. And I bought a watch. I have needed one of those too. There where a few other things that I needed, so it was a productive day!

Sally dragged me out of the plaza soon as a talked about buying sunglasses... I need those too. That would have been another large sum. So since Sally wouldn't let me spend anymore. We "planed" on going to P.F.Chaings. YOU know get all dressed up and go out on the town... Well those plans fell through. I don't want to talk about it.

Instead we did errands and then played pool... I am still not getting much better at pool. Oh, well...
We watched "Mona Lisa Smile" and "The Election". Mona Lisa Smile was good. That is about all I have to say about it. Election I have seen before but Sally hadn't so that was fun. She was laughing so hard. I enjoyed myself! Once again we were talking until I fell asleep.

My brother called me at 5 am... And I just missed it. I would have called him back but I didn't want to wake Sally....

Sunday. I got up late again. It was nice. We watched "How to Deal". I cried... Don't ask! Okay you can if you want.

Then I headed off to St. Charles! The truck is fine ;). I really like driving it. It's nice.

When I got home my family and I cooked steak. It was amazing. I also got to talk to Larry... I haven't talked to Larry in a long while, so that was fun.

talk to you later... I am going to enjoy my spring break...

3.17.2004

So things are going alright.

I don't want to be on my final(for the semester) project already . I feel like it is too soon. This project is going to be a huge challenge as well! I am not quite ready. I just don't want to be a failure. Okay so I am going to do some more work!

QD:What is Montage... Really?

3.13.2004


It feels really good to be loved.


I feel like the world is going in slow motion but it is going too fast to stop it (or control it)!

I don't quite feel up to par right now. I am getting over this illness that has came over me. YET life is going Great!

Never thought I would stay up until 4 am working on crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles aren't my thing but I am for it when you have two smart guys helping me out. I got a few words. ha. It was fun!

QD:If you only had one more month to live what would you do?

3.10.2004

Wow, guess I am not needed anymore... ;)

I am so ready for the warmth of the SUN! It is one of the best feelings to go bask in the hot sun and soak up every little ray... OH yeah.

The first project for this semester is done. I was pleased with the final result. Our next project is unknown, but the site is in Chicago.

Food. You forget how good it can be. I NEED some really good Italian, but they don't know Italian out here.

Rollerblading. You wouldn't think they would be hard to get rollerblades. OH but you are wrong.. They are not available to purchase within a 120 mile radius. Unless you want to go to K-Mart for your quality purchase.

2.24.2004

Things are slow... So I am going to keep going!

QD:What do you think about dinosaurs?

2.23.2004

Viz issues:

anything is possible, if you know what you want to do or how to do it AND IF it decides to work!
nothing is consistent.
it might fail at any point.
no other programs can run with it.
Who uses these words:
Boolean

prism
tessellate

and how long do you have to render?

2.21.2004

Working..

I got to hang out with a few friends last night. I had a lot of fun. Tonight we are going to be hanging out with a few old friends. So that is exciting too!

I am learning to say what I feel and want. I am used to not wanting to have what I desire, so I just ignore it. I Love that I am working on this, but it is hard sometimes. I want others to be happy so I never bothered to worry about me that much! Not to say I haven't. Ha.

I am loving my model. It is really fun. I just hope everything is going to work like it does in my head.

QD:What is the most obnoxious thing you have done?

2.18.2004

Good times!

I have started on my model and I really enjoy that. I have not done a model in a while and I am So excited about doing a good one.. it has been a year sice I have done a Good model!

peace!

QD:Why do girls change their mind so much?

2.17.2004

Between:

What dose the expression "between a rock and a hard place" mean? It seems redundant.

Smash!

Life seems so complicated, yet it is so simple... Just Live then Die someday... But living your life to its FULLEST! That is where the complication comes in I guess. How? I just need to remember that my life is not going to be the end.

Beatific

2.15.2004

My teacher wants me to possibly make this studio culture thing into a thesis paper someday. I don’t know if I ever wanted to do a thesis but if it had to do with my passions. I guess it wouldn’t be that bad.

Nowadays people frustrate me… But “People are stupid!” (as a wise man said many times). Just sometimes you wish they would care for others more than themselves. You know even if they didn’t care MORE, but just half as much then people would be more agreeable.

I did miss my mom and dad this weekend. They were planning on coming, but then my mom got sick. Yesterday was Great anyway! Sally and I hung out and it was like old times… I was a bit hyper though. She gave me a coupon for Turtles (the chocolate candies) I got some at the store and they were wonderful… I used the money my mom gave me for Valentine’s Day. Oh, and Happy Birthday Grandpa! I miss you.

The last few days were wonderful. Thank you to those I love! You know who you are!

QD: Why do we have to grow up?

2.12.2004

Okay... So I am worn out. It has been a great day, but full of WORK!... I am supposed to work all night but I don't know how I am going to stay up..! I feel so done for the day. Maybe it will be a short night.

GUESS WHAT!!!! I got my internship back. I called today and they said "well we already talked about it... When would you like to start" So now I am headed out to California for the summer...

no resume. No portfolio.... I just have the job. I will make as much as my dad as well. Not bad.

I need to still work on my portfolio though. I need to get one completed!

That was a lot of stress off! I don't know about you but I feel as though I could scream! YAY... ahhhhh.!!
YAY!

I am in such a great mood! I have been getting a lot of studying done so far this morning! I want to design... I think I might.

I changed my title to my blog as you can see. I have always Loved the word illumination and I happen to come across it in my studying. My goal is to always be illuminated! I used to be illuminated no matter what was going on. It is a great feeling...

Back to my status of illumination!
Today.

I have received a letter from the firm I worked for last summer. There is a girl pushing the head people there to hire me! It would rock to work for them once again. It was an awesome job. Somewhat I want to not do anything this summer maybe sit on the beach and draw. But I must make money!!! The money is good at that job too.

So I am going to be calling them today. Wish me luck.

My designs are moving along. Today I have a quiz in electrical systems, a Test in Structures IV, and then I must be ready for a crit tomorrow for the town's people of Baldwin City.

so back to work..

I want to write a lot more but I have tons of work to do. Wish me luck!

QD: What are your thoughts on Studio Culture?

2.10.2004

Why is a good question!

I worked on some ideas for my design. I have not quite finished the concepts, but at least I am getting somewhere. I figured out that I was only freaking myself out about that fact that this project is "real". Thus not doing my quality of work well not working on it at all (a block). This is going be have to be over come. I don't know how yet. A little bit at a time I guess.

Today is a good day so far. I can't pinpoint why, but I am happy and that is good!

QD: Do you know how to automatically refresh something on a site in Java language?
