Monthly Update

Turns out I haven't had much time to post. I've been working hard on loads of things. I won't bore you with the details but a few things I have been working on...

My last assignments of the semester. I turned on in one Sunday night and am finishing up the last 2. One is a giant semester project for my interaction design class. Here are just a few of the things that I've had to create for the class in the last 2 weeks. We've been redesigning the UVU Orientation page for the entire semester.

my mood board for the website

The Home Page
By the way if you notice it looks a lot like the Tom Heal Brochure I made. Yeah, I didn't win. I figured I like the curve design so much why not use it again.


The Orientation Leaders page

The FAQ page

The Registration Form page


And then in my other class we have a 20-30 image themed project due on Monday at 11:00. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to print them out and post them in a little book. Ugh. I've decided that my theme is downtown provo. I went out on sunday to take some pictures but I don't know how well they turned out. I'm going to have to go back again. I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do with them in photoshop. I don't think I would be freaking out as bad if Michelle wasn't going to be having Virginia (I don't know if she has posted that name yet...sorry michelle.) this week. I've called her every week of this semester asking her about my images and what I could do better with them. If I don't get her opinion by Thursday all is lost. Sad. BAD TIME TO HAVE A MUNCHKIN MICHELLE, can you wait one more week?

I should talk about audrey....

Audrey is getting better at the Alphabet and her numbers. The alphabet she can sing the entire thing...once in a while...sometimes she goes back to old habits and just starts singing any letter she can remember. I figure when the semester is finished I'll start working on the shapes of the letters. I should go and buy flash cards.

As far as the numbers go she can count to 11 perfectly. I don't think she understands what numbers are...yet. We have a hard time getting her to count actual items...but when she wants to count 20 of her toys she'll pass over them and the 20 will quickly be 11. I don't think i explained that quite right.

She still refuses to potty train. We've been working on it and not letting up, just like everyone said to do. She's just not interested in it. She really could careless....Honestly. So we've decided that we're going to keep offering the potty but if she doesn't want to sit we are not going to force it. She's old enough to understand it so when she is ready, we'll be ready. But she's always been like that. She won't do something if we keep pressuring her. She wants to do things on her own time. Eventually she'll do it but when she wants to. I'm going on too long.

Other things that are going on....nothing else of note.

Oh, patrick has is last final of the semester tomorrow. And then he starts his last semester at BYU. HAHAHAHA! I'm excited. Do you realize that we will be one month shy of our 5th year anniversary when he graduates. Ugh! school has been going on WAY WAY WAY tooo long.

I've taken the time to budget out the remainder of my schooling. I will not graduate til April 2012. There is nothing I can do about it. Here is the problem. In order to graduate I have to take senior projects 1 and senior projects 2. I'm going to refer to them as SP1 and SP2. SP1 is only offered in the fall and SP2 is only offered in the spring. Another thing you need to understand is that the 2 classes are actually like 1. You start the senior project in September and it's finished in April. 2 semesters for one project. I'm about 2 classes shy of feeling ready to take SP1. Cinematography 1 and post production. I'm signed up for both for the fall semester and they are not offered in the summer. But I want to finish the two before I even take SP1 but since it's not offered spring semester I have to wait til Fall 2011 to take SP1 and then I will take SP2 spring 2012. UGH! why did I want to go into film? I don't know :(

This post is officially long.
