A Kassie Update

OMGGGG JENNA COME BACK TO THE US AND VISIT ME.
I'm really glad we have the same winter break.
Anyway.
I started classes last thursday! wooo! I had my Fashion Illustration 1 class and Intro to Fashion Buisness.
Illustration seems like it will be neat. The teacher (who is super nice) has us doing different techniques than what Kathy had taught us. For example, we cannot do any SHADING. No SHADOWS. I don't know what to do with myself because SHADOWS and SHADING were Kathy's two huge things. That I remember, at least.
We also use live professional models! In the nude. I was suprised. It's actually a neat idea, they say that "you need to learn how to draw the body so you can understand it, and therein understand how clothes fit and drape the body."
My buissness class seems like alot of marketing. Alot of talk about visual merchandisng. But the teacher is nice. So far it's one of those classes where very few kids talk and actually answer questions. I feel bad becase the teacher'll ask a question and end up just standing there. It's awkward! So I ended up talking. Alot (shocker, I know). It was only me and about 3-4 other people out of a class of 30 answering. and most of us were sitting in the same corner. Funny stuff.
For that class I have to read 27 pages (1 Chapter) by this Thursday, I have yet to crack open the book.

Roomates!
Woooo!
I got super lucky to have sane, hygenic roomates.
The first day I arrived I had a cool roomie named Brandi.
See, housing overbooked by about 500 students so kids were arriving with no permanent spot to their name.
So Brandi was temporary for about a week until they moved her to a NICE building with apartment-style rooms.
Amanda, my other temporary roomie, became permanent in my room just a few days ago. She's from ITALY. So cool.
And then Friday my ACUTAL roomate, Liz, arrived. She's super cute and nice.

Etc!
I have some favorite restaurants already! wooo! If you ever visit you can choose which to go to.
I colored my hair! wooooohoooooo! I did red at the bottom of my hair, and a streak on top. Bright cherry red. Amanda did it. It looks badass. :)

And today guess what!
I went to the nearby hospital to see about this pesky sore throat I've been having.
Swallowing is the most excruciating pain ever. Probably except for childbirth.
Anyway, they told me I have STREP THROAT.
Dayum. Lame.
The crazy part is that they gave me two shots in my butt instead of a pill prescription.
One shot was a anti-biotic and the other an anti-inflammatory.
The nurse said the antibiotic would hurt more, so he did that one first.
He lied. Ow.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that lil update!
I've got a few pictures of this and that on Facebook/Myspace that I'm too lazy to load up right now.

I have class in hours, but the room is too damn hot to fall asleep.
I'm seriously in shorts and a tank top and my roomies are in sweats and they're COLD. It was also like this pre-strep, but it's still obnoxious.
Acutally, I tried to fall asleep at like 11 but couldn't. So I did the homework for Fashion Illustration I was putting off until morning. Then I did a sudoku. And now I'm writing this to you! Yay!
I am going to hate myself in the morning.

Love and kisses! yay!
Chut up!

PHOTOS!
YES!
sorry they're all backwards. Macs are like that.

firstly:
my haiiiiiiiiiiir:

nice, eh? cherry cherry pie ;)

Now my dorm! It's actually pretty decent :)
Our sitting area:

The room came with everything but the big blue chair. Liz bought that. And the couch isn't actually purple, that's the topsheet from my set. I never use them and the couch had grey stains and holes. So I was like EW! It looks pretty slick now.
And that pillow is Amanda's! It goes great. Crazy cool.

Across from sitting area:

Our "pantry" (because we have yet to get a fourth roomate so we took over her closet), random stuff, amanda's shoes, amanda's closet. :)

La Corner de Liz et Moi!

I have the top bunk. That's her desk. Her comforter and my sheets are the same purple. and her sheets and my comforter are ALMOST the same blue. CREEPY.

My desk!

It's like a little nook, because it's in a corner. hells yea. did you see the moulin rouge thingy? It's the mousepad you gave me! :D

And My bed!

woooo! and my penguin lamp. and my kick-awesome pillowcase.

I hope you enjoyed that! :) love ya!
