I'm going to stop blogging for a while. Here's the reason: the program here is absolutely ridiculous in terms of time demands. I can manage my time as well as I want, but the program still consumes nearly all of it. I know blogging is a little thing, but I want to reduce all my activities down to the most basic level so that I can do the best possible job while I'm here. And ultimately, if I can spend that 5 minutes thinking of a domain rather than blogging, that'll be for the best right now.

After I posted last night, I walked home, took care of my administrative stuff, and read some French. Shamefully, I gave into my temptation to eat a pop sickle, even though I had already had my dessert for the day.
Today I walked to the GSD, paid attention during an awesome lecture, sat through a second lecture, experimented with Photoshop, worked on my cube drawings, started working on my house project for Thursday, had Indian food for dinner at a place called Ghandi on Mass Ave, stopped by the art store, picked up the latest copy of Dwell magazine, and clipped out pictures to give me ideas for my design. After posting I plan to e-mail Eva, finish my cube 2 project, possibly do some more work on the house, and then walk home and possibly finish watching Fanny.
I haven't broken any of my principles yet today. The only thing I did was hesitate and act weakly for a short time this afternoon as I was getting frustrated with my projects.

I got in some walking on my way to class, listened carefully to a lecture on drawing, listened carefully to a lecture on perspectives, ate moderately and semi-frugally, finished my axon with good results, listened carefully during an informal pin-up/critique, completed my portion of the group assignment due tomorrow, e-mailed Eva, and learned some things on Photoshop. Before going to bed, I plan to walk back home, do 7 dive-bomber push-ups (they're an extreme version of a push-up that offers a much more comprehensive exercise), perform my nightly dental routine, and perhaps watch some of Fanny.
Shameful things: 1. being late enough to force me to take the bus. This was somewhat planned, since I allowed myself extra sleep, but still, I should have been able to make it without. 2. Taking too long at dinner--I was talking, it was pleasant, but I should have gotten back sooner 3. Not being as efficient as I could have been during the group exercise.
These are minor things.

So far today I enjoyed sleeping late, ate a healthy breakfast, talked to my Mom, walked to the GSD, created my block design, and enjoyed some pizza at Pinnochios (alas, not the one in Media). By the end of the evening I plan to create two sections and an axonometric of my design, which will complete my homework for the weekend. One thing I did shamefully was that I overindulged in snacks earlier this afternoon.
