My e-commerce class cancelled (not enough enrollment) and my spanish class might, I’ll find out tomorrow.  I think it’s too much of a beginner class for me anyway. but it might pick up.  All the while I was sitting there in class thinking ‘I already know this stuff” I was telling myself that it always starts off slow, and don’t knock it.  So I really put my espanol out there on this first assignment, used all that I’ve got.  I’ll let the teacher be the judge.

I applied and interviewed for a work-study job at the student life center, I think it went pretty well.  We’ll see in two days.

Tonite is my photoshopCS3 class, the one I came over to this campus for.  Plus the campus is right across the street, which is sweet.  I’m pretty excited about this class, it’s taught by this incredible teacher that I had last term for web design.

Humanities is going to be interesting, we get three social issue type books to read and do speaking presentations on.  I hate speaking and it makes me puke from nerves, so this will be good for me.  Maybe I can get past this.  It’s stupid to not be able to make presentations just from cowardice.  What’s there to be afraid of?  I might bore people?  They’ve been bored before.  They might judge me unfavorably?  It’s happened before and I survived.

I just keep pep-talking myself.  Get myself pumped up.  Wednesday is my first stand-up presentation.

The quilt……. I am plugging away on the back of it, it’s looking pretty cute.

Sammy brought her old quilt (that I made a couple of years ago) to get it repaired this weekend, I had forgotten how nice it turned out.  She has Chinese decor in her room so I made her a simple bamboo

design.  It feels just right, she says she loves it and she drags it around to watch TV with.  The top black material is a cotton gabardine and the back is wheat-colored crinkle-cloth, a little heavier than the gauzy stuff you usually see with crinkle-cloth, with a linen-like texture.  Single ply low-loft batting and it’s a small queen or large double size.

I replaced the top-stitched leaves which had been thin silk, but they wore off.  so I put the same material as the backing on for the leaves.  I did some straight lines to hold a place where I know the batting is seperated.  Some top-stitching had come out.  i used light thread.  I’m not sure I like it, but

after I thought about it, I think I could make it better by curving the lines at the top and making them look like wheat.  I told Sammy about that and if it bothers her, she can bring it back and I can easily update it.
