i suddenly feel very lonely. but let me lead up to that chronologically.
we had our second and final day of brick wall construction this morning. since it was apparent that the concept of teams was not going to work, the requirement became: clean off at least five old bricks, put at least five bricks in the wall, and clean up some around the site. and then if you wanted to, you were free to leave.
and so of course nearly everyone left after an hour or so. a small handful of people stuck around and kept working, and so consequently i built a significant portion of the wall myself. i was actually one of the last two people to leave, just after eleven.
in drawing we had an in-class assignment involving spinning an orthographic drawing around an axis. it wasn't really very tough, just complex. and as i was nearly finished i realized that i had misread the instructions and spun it around the wrong point. so i had to completely start over.
and we never even got to talking about the stupid bus shelter.
after dinner i scanned a couple of my tessellation sketches that are the basis of my design principles project at the moment. (you can see coloured thumbnails to the left.)
at eight jen and chris (the only transfer student in the sculpture department) and i were headed to this poetry reading. but we ran into some people coming the other way who said that it had been canceled. so we went to the museum to see the faculty art show. but it was already closed. so we went to the auditorium where there was a student film festival going on.
i definitely want to do some film while i'm here. i have to hunt down my adviser and talk to him about it. maybe even if it means doing another year. (like i'd be able to afford that.) we'll see.
then we walked up to thayer with yuka and molly and ying and had desert. and came back and went our separate ways to our separate abodes. and this is where i find myself feeling lonely. i think it's because there's still no one here that i'm particularly close friends with (probably alex more than anyone else, and i only briefly saw him this morning). and social interaction without more of a context just tends to leave me feeling empty.
