90lbs soaking wet
I have been absolutely SOGGED by the weather today. Heavy rain and heavy wind in an already windy area is Not Fun. I had to return a library book that my boyfriend had me check out for class a few weeks back. He had to check the book out under my name bc he didn't have an account at the local libary and couldn't put it on hold without one. The subway line I usually take was also down for matinece so I was forced onto the bus for this trip, which means standing outside in the rain instead of in a nice warm station underground. Woe is me.
For as I am complaining, it was almost fun in a way? I mean, it was an entire day of doing things I usually don't do in completely new conditions. Before my perilous journey I had been invited to sit in on a friend of mines review board. At my college, we have reviews instead of finals. Basically they are these big critiques where we set up most of the work from the semester (the amount of work you put up depends on your major. 3D majors have a class dedicated to making work that is cohesive for your review, while the more design based majors like animation or comm design have to put up all their work for the semester regardless of if its cohesive.) in a gallery like setting and professors both from your major and outside of it come in and review it. As a ceramics major, I won't have to do these until my junior year, but I wanted to get a feel for what they are like before that. My friend did really well! Most of the critiques she recived were about expanding and playing around with some of the concepts she presented, which is much better then being told that the current work you are presenting stinks. Anyway, after that it was time to get fucked in the ass by the wind. I had to take off my glasses because the wind almost took them out. I will say, I felt weirdly cool walking with the wind whipping around me. It was kinda powerful feeling? Or maybe it's because I was listnening to Venetian Blind Man. Actually thats probably it. Huh.
