I am very very pleased. I got perfect scores on everything for Unit One: the two individual projects and the discussion board. I knew I had done well on the second assignment at least, but I wasn’t expecting perfect scores!
I am so glad I switched majors. Digital design is really where I was meant to be.

Yesterday at the grocery store Joe and I saw they had C2 there, the new lower calorie, lower sugar Coke. Joe had just been telling me about the other day and we were anxious to try it. I was pleasantly surprised. It does have aspertame but it also has sucralose. I couldn’t taste the aspertame even though I usually can. It tastes almost exactly like regular Coke. In fact, you’d need to drink them right after each other to tell a difference. With half the calories and half the sugar, it’s a great alternative to regular Coke. I love Coke and drink way too much of it so to me C2 is great. I’ll still drink regular Coke too of course but I’ll try to limit myself to more C2 than regular Coke. I just hope it sticks around.
I have been seeing red hat merchandise in stores for a few months now, mostly crafts store. I really wasn’t sure what it meant until I looked it up a few minutes ago.
Today a group of about 5 or so older women came into the store, all wearing red hats, some with feathers, and purple clothes. I was a bit suprised. And curious as well. I was tempted to ask them about it, but didn’t.
The name they gave us for their back door pick-up was the Red Hat Society so it was easy to google it. This is from the site:
“Welcome to the place where there is fun after fifty (and before) for women of all walks of life. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life and, since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next.”
I imagine it’s something like sororites for older women. You can be part of it if you’re not 50 yet but you’re supposed to wear a pink hat and lavendar clothes until you’re 50. Then you can wear the purple and red. They have chapters you can join and one is right around here. I think it’s a pretty cool idea. I’d love to wear a red hat, especially with feathers. I wonder if it will still be around when I’m 50.
Illustration looks like it’s going to rock. The assignments look a little more time-consuming than my last class but so much more interesting. There’s still discussion board assignments where we have to write things, but the individual assignments are all design ones.
Here’s the basic list of individual assignments (all are to be done in Illustrator):
I’m anxious to get started on these projects!
I’m surprised! I got an A in my Theory and History of Visual Communication class! I wasn’t expecting to get an A since my average came to an 89 and an A is a 90 but I guess she rounded up (it was an 89.3). Yay! I’m really happy I got an A in my first class in my degree program and college. I needed that to boast my academic confidence after Millersville. This Friday I’ll be able to log into my new class, Illustration. I’m anxious to see what our assignments will be like.
