Make up

This is my makeup post for missing the first day of class.  I made my schedule in august and wait listed two of my classes.  I normally wait list most semesters and never had a problem with it before.  I began to worry however after my first day of class in the american sign language class i was enrolled in because the teacher signed that 16 was the hard limit to who was in the class and I was number 3 on the wait list.  I decided to see what happened because two people didn't show up for class the first day.  Sadly they did return on Wednesday and said they didn't want to drop the class for people on the wait list.  So after class our professor wished us all luck in getting enrolled for the class next semester.  At this point i was rather distraught.  I was 4 credit hours short of being a full time student, and the first week of classes were over.  I talked to a few friends and quickly looked over some other courses that had interested me previously but I had to skip over because of the scheduling conflicts.  I dropped another 2 credit hour course that I had used to get to 13 credit hours and signed up for this course after several of my friends recommended it to me, and theories of personality.

Class two

Today in class we got to go and play with all the fun expensive gadgets hidden away from the rest of the campus.    We learned about the different types of 3D media and how they are made for the majority of our time there.  I found the immersive 3D projector to be very very cool and could see how if the price could be lowered on such a device, how it could revolutionize the gaming and movie experience.  The part that I probably enjoyed the most was seeing some of the previous work for our class to get an idea of how far we can go with our projects.

The Egg and the Eye

It's hard staying in shape as a dark lord of the sith, lucky with these hearts of neutron stars, Vader does it with ease!  Call 1-800-555-2345 to order yours today, brought to you by the sun-crusher society.  

I debated for awhile as to what to do with my egg.  I thought of the usual turning them into people but decided that i wanted to make them simply a different prop for a shot.  I love doing conversions for miniatures modding and got into that mindset when approaching my assignment.
