Today was an interesting day. The teachers asked us to be in the animation lab all day because they would be having a bunch of prospective students coming to the art building. I guess they wanted us to help with making our program look all tempting and shiny to the "fresh meats" as we call freshmen jokingly. It was actually nice to get up early and get right started with animating because I felt I could go home earlier and attend to other academic and not so academic matters afterwards. Usually I'm in their late every night on the weekend.

I thought we were suppose to just be there to be seen by the new student in passing, but the teachers kinda set up a Q&A for these students in the adjoining classroom to the animation lab. Me being the curious type I poked in and look at the new faces. But I'm not as good at spontaneous socializing as I'd like to be, so I thought that I'd probably end up doing more harm than good when I first walked in and made my way around the room. I really wasn't matching up with any group and was about to go back to the lab and give up on actually socializing with these new students. But then surprise, Rishon decided to shows up in the room after all. I never pass up a chance to hang out with her, if it can be avoided, and seeing how she was doing okay among the fresh meats I decided to give it another shot.

Rishon is actually pretty good at picking nice people to hang out with so I figured I'd sit where ever she did for the best luck. And sure enough we meet a nice group of artists who I thought were very nice and showed promise. We answered some question they had about the program but mostly we swapped sketch books and told them about good drawing habits to get into. We also pimped our teacher Sheldon's artist bag to them and for good reason they are nice bags. I thought it was funny that one student seemed impressed that all my sketches in my academic sketch book were in pen. I guess I never think about it anymore, but I prefer pen because it doesn't smear as much as pencil. Plus it forces you to commit to your lines when you draw, heh. They seemed to like my drawings but of course I still think they looks like crude. Its been a nice day I guess, so if I could just get the last of my homework done than I will be happy!
