IPOD

So, Dereck (aka Santa) got me the Nano for Christmas! It's so fun! I know I am one of the last people to get one, but I held out for so long because my Palm has an MP3 player on it, so I could use that on the train. So, on Christmas I loaded all my songs onto it, but now I am having some problems with it.

The first is sorting. When it's on shuffle it goes from India Arie to the Beach Boys to Thievery Corporation. Kind of annoying. I don't want to have to go through everything and group it myself but a lot of my songs have no labels therefore they won't just go into different sections.

Secondly, sometimes songs come on I want to sing or even dance. But then people look at you weird. I don't want to make a complete spectacle of myself.

One of these days I will organize, but for now I will enjoy my crazy mix tape and try not to dance.

My last day of school...(for the semester)

Hooray I am finished! I couldn't be more excited. I am welcoming this break with open arms! After a few nights staying up till 3 or 4am, I turned in my final projects on Wednesday and came home and crashed.
I will post the rest of my projects later, but I had to turn in my mood boards and drawings for 2 collections and present them to my class for Fashion Industry Design. For Illustrator/Photoshop, we had to create and "extension" of an already existing brand, and for Construction III we had to turn in our corsette, with some sort of bottom (mine was combined into a dress) and some sort of cape. I am wearing my cape and my dress is on the form. The picture isn't the best, I hope to get some additional copies later.
It's amazing that something always seems to happen at the last minute no matter how prepared you are, such as putting the button holes on the wrong side. Oh yes, that happened, but what can you do! I can say that I tried really hard, but it wasn't my best work.
Between working full-time, my three demanding classes and trying to spend time with my husband I felt like I was always stretched thin. But, you live and learn.
I love coming in the last day because you get to see everyone's different styles and see how a simple project can produce so many different types of designs. I love it!

Note to self: Don't get married during the semester. Below is a picture with Irina (our teacher) and my friend Wevly. [I am peeking in the background!]

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Last night Dereck and I went to see the Rockette's at Radio City Music Hall. It was a fun, festive event and I feel like I am finally in the Christmas spirit!
It was filled with Santa, ice skating, synchronization (obviously) and even LIVE animals for the nativity scene at the end. (Camels and sheep and everything)
Dereck liked it but said he didn't think he would "choose" to go back again. It truly is amazing that they can all be in sync like that. Talk about some serious practice!
Merry Christmas!!
