Feb. 16th, 2024 10:07 amI had my first test in my class last Thursday & it was weird I guess. It was a test about writing code but it was an on paper test. I went into it irritated because it's like......... in real life if I'm writing code in my program where i write it and I forget a comma or a bracket or whatever, when I hit enter it won't run. I'll know I did something wrong. I can re-look it over and correct it lol so like...... why do I have to prove that I can write it out on paper.
Idk so I went into it with an attitude in general which is a problem with me and no one else but I'm fine with that. Anyway class was canceled yesterday bc my professor had a sore throat (which i love and respect, people who show up under the weather in this 2024 world are my enemy) but we got grades back & I got an 85. In line with the class average she reported but my first grad school B!!!!!!! It was bound to happen. A B is still good of course I'm not crying and throwing a fit but it's annoying to be given a test I think is stupid and then get a B on it.
Starting next week a new girl is starting in our department. There's a shortage of desks & I have the fewest days required in office so I'm desk sharing with her on our alternating days. All that means I had to really clean up my desk space bc I was really sloppy and willy nilly about leaving paper and whatever spread all over it. Nothing dirty or anything like that, just receipts and invoices and stuff I hadn't gotten to. I tidied all up and am getting more organized... in my physical space at least.
A while ago I bought this really nice art book someone put together on like nice sturdy watercolor paper with this beautiful pre-drawn line art on it that I haven't painted in even remotely bc it's too scary & the pressure is too high. I realized this week I can probably find some nice watercolor brushes on procreate, scan the pages, & paint them digitally to find what I like & then paint them irl with some pressure lifted. They scanned really well! I'm excited to give the digital painting a go.
