So here ends my first week back at Columbia. It was overall an interesting week but made me feel nervous. The week was slightly overwhelming. It made me realize I have a lot of work to do to put together my portfolio, resume, and possible brand identity with website.
 
It is weird that every one of my teachers is for a personal brand identity only I found someone at a company I dig hates them. He can’t be the only one but maybe.
 
Some highlights of the day include:
 

1. For Printmaking, Columbia has its very own Print Lab. It is a neighbor to Anchor Graphics who I found out will be hosting along with the college, a huge conference for printing. Kind of exciting.
2. While music is allowed to be played in said Print Lab, the following are banned: Interpol, The Smiths, Death Metal, & Gangster Rap. I was upset about this last one and it’s apparently cause some people take it way too seriously. Come on, Jay-Z and Snoop and MANY others are the balls. Too much? Hell, I’m a girl. It doesn’t bother me.
3. Though I looked this up before, I have two professors for my Publication Design class because it will be divided into two parts: One with a solid print, one with web development and learning content management.
4. I like this Jobson fellow who reminds me of Santa Claus. He’s so amusing. Like my Advanced Typography teacher said, they are basically somewhat the same person only different. Yin-Yang, as she says.
5. Dreamweaver is kind of annoying even though it’s supposed to be easier than handcoding.
6. The future still scares the fuck out of me.

 
I think the highlight of my school “week” was my Advanced Typography class. I don’t know, it was the first week of school. I guess I’ll settle in some more. I forget how tired these things leave me.
