The start of the week was pretty quiet, the cold hung around for a looong time. I finally finished the picture I was working on in 3ds max. It was so frustrating cause I would follow the example in the book but then it wouldn't work for me. Then when I took it into school our teacher would sort it out straight away. So it finally got done and I can now insert the image below..
Speaker drawn in Autodesk 3ds Max from an exercise in the book 3ds Max 6.0 - Basics.On Thursday the boring part of the week ended and the fun times began. After going to work and then school I headed over to Karina's with a bottle of sav blanc and had a great time chatting to her about all sorts of things (ie mostly men). Friday there was no school as it was future day. I thought about working but then decided against it as I had to sort out my outfit for the party later that night and also thought about trying out the spa at the gym. OMG it was the best!! I was a little disappointed as the hot pool was too cool but then spent a while in the steam room and the lovely sauna. Then I sat in front of the fire with a tea and relaxed on the couch. Will definitely have to get back there asap. It's a bit tough for the full timers as we are only allowed to use it between 9am - 4pm but I should be able to work it in between school and work some days.
I then rushed to school only to get there at the end of future day and everyone had left so did a bit of shopping then home to get ready for the fastelavn party. Fastelavn is a tradition a little like Halloween where kids get dressed in costumes and have parties where they take turns in beating a thing like a pinyata. I'm a little put off by the tradition as it is said that in the old days there would be a cat inside that they would beat to death. Anyways any excuse to party ;-) I got dressed as a secretary and biked to Phong's for pre party drinks.
We then headed to school and was fun to see everyone's costumes. There were not so many people at this party but still managed to have a very fun time.
Taking dictation from Steve.Saturday I had to get home from Phong's place in my costume, lucky the buses do not take long to show up and I was soon home to relax before doing it all over again. This time it was off to Culture Box for Alex's birthday. It was really great to catch up with him over a few drinks with some others from school. Then some of us headed to Moose and partied to the wee hours of the morning.
So Sunday I did not do much again and the next thing it's Monday and we have an assignment due Tuesday morning. I had to catch the bus to school cause once again my bike stayed there all weekend. I was very tired but dragged myself to work for 3 hours then it was home to meet with with Travis to work on our presentation. The 3d images did not turn out as I would've liked as there is not enough memory on my laptop to handle the size of the image I was working on. Also it is very painstakingly long work. It's a great program though and I will hopefully do some more drawings in it but onto something new on Thursday. Managed to get our presentation done today after a long night last night and am feeling very tired. Glad to have that part over with. And glad that it is hump day tomorrow and the fun part of the week starts again! Many more parties this weekend so lots more to tell next week.
Laters.
