Sketchism

Today has to be the longest day in the history of time. The seconds felt like hours as I rode that bus from Carol City to Downtown. Once I got there, I had to walk a few blocks to get to the school and of course I got lost. Took me a minute to realise I was heading in the wrong direction. Finally found the building, went upstairs and entered the room right at the announced time, 9:00am. I’m so punctual it’s scary. All the students were in the air-conditioned room, sitting around and mumbling. It was time to break the ice. Pulled the hacky sac from my book bag and in a few seconds had a circle of about 6 guys kicking that little beanie all over the place. A few minutes later the tour guides (A Visual Arts sophomore and a senior) came in and told us to follow them.

The tour of our campus was a little rushed and unpleasant due to our local weather: humidity from the pits of hell. But we made the best of it by talking to each other and getting acquainted. We returned to the building and officially introduced ourselves to our fellow artists by saying our names out loud and such and eventually the hour passed.

Lunch was provided for us outside in the scorching heat and then we played hacky sac some more. We returned to the building, and registered for our classes and then hacky sac again. I love that little ball. Went back to the room, listened to the dean talk to us for a million years and I had to leave in the middle of it so I could catch the bus home. Missed the first bus home, caught the next one 25 minutes later, got to my car an hour later, drove home, ate quickly, went to martial arts class (injured my lower back some more), and now I’m here dreaming about the next hacky sac game, which will most likely be on Wednesday when school finally starts. Goodnite.
