LOL, I am doing the pimsleur program with a friend from college, just for fun. We do two lessons a week, and I am a week behind!

She will NOT be pleased!!! It is kind of fun to learn another language, since this one is an audio program. I think we are doing Mandarin next

 

[honey22]

I should be: (in no particular order)

- getting dinner
- folding the towels in the dryer
- out next load in dryer
- doing yet another load of washing
- making my sisters BDay cake
- showering my puppies with attention - my lab Honey cracks it sometimes when I spend too much time PSing - she isn''t allowed in the back rooms as they are carpeted, and she sits at the very edge of the tiles in the living room craning her neck down the hallway to see or smell my and just cries! It''s terrible sometimes. What a bad mother I am!!

But sometimes I just need to check in with the girls and see what''s up in PS land!

 

[Hera]

Sailorsweet, what kind of design class are you taking?

 

[kittybean]

I should be:

Cleaning my room
Doing the dishes
Emailing everyone I know to get their real addresses
Fixing my chipping nail polish

I think I''ll just go to bed now!

Sailorsweet, what kind of design class are you taking?

Im in school for interior design, so technically they''re all design classes. This semester I have - Residential 3, Kitchen and Bath, Prof. Practice, a Prismacolor Marker class and Art&Society-Pre 19th Cent. Its what I love doing but theres so much hands on work which can get very time consuming. Sometimes I''d rather sit in my pjs and write a term paper haha

 

[Hera]

I had a hunch it was Interior Design. I just graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelors degree in Interior Design. Where are you going to school? How do you like it so far?

I know how time consuming it can be! That''s why my husband bought me a drafting table (the one in my avatar) because he missed me so much. Little did we know that we wouldn''t really use it because I learned autocad after that.

One of my favorite parts about it being so time consuming is that you really get to bond with some of your classmates. We were a tight bunch calling each other in the middle of the night with questions. As a class we get together and have drinks. I recently went with my friends on a cruise and it was a lot of fun.

One of things I''m not so excited about is that there aren''t too many employment possibilities because the economy is so bad in San Diego. At the moment I''m just a housewife looking for a good opportunity. I''m not in too much of a rush, though because I''m just enjoying this free time that I haven''t had in forever!

 

[gladyskristen]

I do it all the time! I had a week to write an essay for my Nursing Management unit, but ended up writing it in the last 24 hours before it was due cos I was PS-surfing too much! Stayed up all night to write it, finished at 7am and walked to school with a jacket over my jammies to have it in by 8am.

ETA: The only reason why I spent the last 24 hours without PS-surfing was cos dear BF made me promise him tt I'll stay away til I've finished my assignment!

 

[vita*dolce]

i''m supposed to be reading my UCC sales and secured transactions homework for class tomorrow, and am presently at work. (i work at the law school i go to. it''s less fun than PS though... sooo you know how that goes!)

 

[misskitty]

I''m also supposed to be doing schoolwork. I have a project due on Thursday, but I don''t feel like staring at code anymore. Funny enough, I''m okay with staring at message boards...

 

[Smurfysmiles]

misskitty, what kind of coding do you do? im so grateful that there is a seperate field for coders because i am better at design than coding. I stick to javascript, css, html, and actionscript lol. I attempted to tackle BASIC in college (ok they MADE me take it lol) and i had to take the stupid class 3 times before i finally passed it!

 

[misskitty]

Smurfy, I''m a software engineering student, and lately I''ve been spending a lot of time with Java, C++, and C#. BASIC was never my fav, either

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I don''t actually know how to handcode java, but i know how to implement it
im in the process of teaching myself (HA!) how to do it
i really wish my university had offered it as a class

 

[misskitty]

If you don''t find it too annoying to teach yourself from a book, there''s a text called "Big Java" (by Horstmann) that is really great for getting you off the ground. The end-of-chapter exercises seem more worth-it than most of the other texts I''ve seen, and if you already know how to code in another language, it''s not too terrible to pick up.

Thats crazy, not only is your husband in the navy like my bf but we''re both into interior design AND my bf just bought me a portable drafting board for my birthday in August. lol I''m currently going to NYSID (New York School of Interior Design) and slowly making my way through my bachelors. I transferred from NYU two years ago over a summer period and got set back in classes because I registered too far past the registration date. I''ve been playing catch up ever since. So hopefully I''ll have my bachelors in a year and half.. but its dragging! I completely agree about the tightness between classmates... theres something grueling about withstanding design studios with one another, haha. You come out of it feeling like you''ve known everyone for years. A cruise sounds like fun - I suppose one day my friends and I will have free time to go on vacation

As for your job dilemma, I feel ya! I''m working as an assistant 45 minutes from my house right now, but the firm is small and the designers aren''t ASID accredited so it doesnt go towards any work hours for my qualification for the NCIDQ. But I''m very jealous of your free time. I wouldnt mind having some time off at ALL once I graduate. Right now I have class most of the week and I work Friday and Saturday

Did you move out to San Diego after you and your husband were married? My boyfriend and I were thinking of either San Diego or Hawaii for his next tour.. which would leave us long distance for some more time but eventually I''d be able to move out with him.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

awesome, thanks for the tip off
hope i can find it at barnes and noble, SO has a discount card there!

Yay for Interior Designers! Well consider yourself lucky for having a job as an assistant. New York is going to be way better for Interior Design than places like San Diego and Hawaii. Unfortunately, they are both beautiful but not really known as architecture meccas. I would say if you have a pick, ultimately, I would pick San Diego because it''s cheaper to live here than in Hawaii. My friend just moved to Hawaii and hasn''t been able to find work yet and says that locals usually get jobs before foreigners (don''t know if that part is true though). The good thing you have going is that you''ll be in school for another year and a half and hopefully the economy will improve by then.

As for my husband, I met him in San Diego. I''m originally from Los Angeles and I came to San Diego to go to SDSU. We met at a halloween party and we''ve been together ever since

When is your boyfriend''s tour over?

When is your boyfriend''s tour over?

He leaves the ship he''s on now in August 2009, after his deployment. So we have more than enough time to decide what should happen and where we eventually want to live. I''ll still have a year left of school at that point so we''ll still be living separately for the first year on his new assignment. Unfortunately, even if he stays in Virginia it looks like the best place for me to try and work is up here around NYC which I''m not too thrilled about. Obviously because if my SO decides to stay in the navy he can''t be based in NY or NJ lol, also because most of the people I know who are now working full time and doing school part time have work hours from 8-8 at contract firms and I dont know if I want to have that nyc work my butt off attitude.

We''ll see.

Anyway, keep me updated... I''m sure you''ll find work soon.
