It’s already Week 4?
Time certainly cannot be moving that fast? I truly need to use a planner, I had actually looked at the calendar and still thought that the 2nd thru 5th was this week…. Oh and it’s Fall! Florida actually had some cooler temps last week, but it’s pretty much back to normal.
I have blocked and unblocked text messaging in the last five days, I thought I probably would not miss anything, but that is usually when you get the good text messages, and what’s bad is that they don’t alert the person that you have blocked the function.
It’s only week 4 and I have a Mid-term paper due next week, can I just say how much I love the idea of Quarter length classes; with semester length classes I would usually dread that it was only week 4 and I had 12 more weeks, 16 weeks can be quite dreadful, especially if you are taking a class that you would rather not take with a Professor that isn’t enthused about the class either. The other big assignment is in Drawing II, a master drawing of a woman picking Poppys. I am just a bit intimidated, if I start it tomorrow I think I will be okay.
Sunday I played Frisbee which I have been missing. I saw dear friends, and learned Spoons and B.S. B.S. is not an easy game for me, I don’t tend to lie and when I do, they can usually tell. Actually I was doing really well, until I had just a few cards left, by then I ran out of the right cards and was going to be called out for every card I put down 
It was a great Sunday!
Tomorrow I am going to try to get most of the assignments done, so the rest of the week can be free.
This Saturday is my brother’s birthday, Happy Birthday Sonnie!
Drawing II Unit 1 Assignments
My classwork for Drawing II from the first week of class.
Contour and Cross Contour Studies, At first I was stuck on Cross Hatching, I saw the examples and still was doing cross-hatching. So I figured it out a bit finally
Contour and Cross Contour Study
Value Study, I have to say I certainly liked the Value Study, I like the whole process of blending to get an effect.

Class Assignments for Week 1
I am finally starting some of my assignments, today I worked on my Advanced Survey of Computer Applications Class. I am noticing similarities to classes I have taken before, but it’s actually pretty good because it is refreshing my memory.
20th Century Art class is my least favorite at this point. I love art, but reading about it and researching it… It’s just not one of my favorite things, and also it’s just not my favorite subjects of Art, if I could take a class on the Advertisement Art of the 1920s, I would probably love it!
Drawing 2 looks good, I just need to put pencil to paper, is there anyone who does not deal with procrastination?
Classes have Started!
Finally! It seeemed like it took years for my classes to start. So far, they are great; I have been browsing the discussion forums and making Introductions, and getting to know my classmates. What I love about my E-Learning classes at SCAD so far is that my classmates are from all over, some are from my homestate of Florida, or around the United States, and some are from different countries. It’s exciting! On facebook I have friends from all over, but it’s different when you are taking a class with people from all over… and it’s different from my previous E-Learning classes at SPC; The discussion forums are more active and social. It’s really nice!
Today I finally ordered my books, I know a bit last minute, I didn’t want to order the books before class started though in case they changed my classes last minute, although I don’t think they would have done that… I am a procrastinator, so that is going to have to change pretty quick, especially since I know I have a Research Paper and Mid Term paper for one class! I think I am going to have to set up a schedule for myself, because right now I can see that I could end up devoting a lot more time to one class and ignoring some of the others.
The Rat is Gone!
A couple days ago I discovered that we had an outside visitor… A rat, at first I though it was a big clump of Clifford’s hair rolling like a tumbleweed from behind my dresser to the side of the bed. Upon further investigation it was confirmed to be a rat, probably a fruit rat who had a taste for bird seed. The fact that it was in my room made me a bit paranoid, and needless to say I slept in the living room. The following day we had an owl on our porch, and it was a cantankerous skinny looking owl. Maybe he was on the lookout for the rat… I avoided the porch for a while then, sure it probably would not have attacked me, but why take the chance of being dive bombed on your own porch by a wild eyed owl? The owl left by nightfall, and did not come back the next day.
Anyway back to the rat, this morning I got the wonderful news that my mom had found the rat in the trap before she left for work! It was a humane trap and she took it to the back fence and released it. Now to find out how it got in and if it has created any other messes.
Hopefully other rodents and reptiles and insects will stay away. Talking about it with friends has brought forward their stories of finding frogs in the bathroom, bats in the attic, and stepping on slugs.
On a good note, the rat disruption has inspired me to organize and plan a yard sale or Ebay auction
Updated Schedule and Weekend Fun
Now instead of Color Theory; I will have a Drawing 2 course with Lottmann, I am wondering if this Online Drawing Course will be like my previous, where you scanned in your drawings… I am happy with my classes for the Fall still. There are a couple that may mirror the classes I took at SPC, I see it as a good thing since I will be be getting the information again, and may learn something new.
This past weekend I played Softball, it was a lot of fun, of course now I am feeling the effects. About the same effects as the first time I played Ultimate Frisbee. Which by the way I tried to play the following day, didn’t work so out much, so it became a social hour
I have also been playing a lot of Chess, which I did not think was very interesting before, mainly because I did not understand the rules, now I am hooked on it though, so far I have not won a single game, I usually end up missing a key detail, you have to keep an eye on so many pieces and keep in mind where your opponent may end up moving.
I really wish it would rain, this morning it was dark and I heard thunder, but nothing, across town they had rain, but not here. We are so close to the coast that I would expect more rain, but it seems to just miss us.

Fall Schedule so far…
As of today my schedule for Fall 2009 is as follows:
- 20th Century Art with Parr

I understand this schedule may change, but I am happy to see a core class
I am looking more and more forward to starting this fall, if only September would come quicker!
Hello
Hi, my name is Dreama Jeantet. This fall I will be starting my first year at SCAD as a Junior. I transferred from St. Petersburg College in St. Petersburg, Florida where I had completed my A.A. and A.S. in Print Design; now I am going for my B.A. in Interactive Design. I have wanted to attend SCAD since I heard about it. I will be doing the E-Learning Program since at this time I like the idea of being able to choose my schedule and to choose where I live. So right now I am staying in St. Petersburg Florida. I am hoping to visit Savannah though a couple times throughout my education at SCAD.
I don’t know my schedule yet, I know Drawing II may be a class though at some point so I am looking forward to it. I took Drawing I online as well through SPC, I’d draw the picture scan it in and e-mail it to my professor, so I am wondering if it will be a similar format….
