Wednesday I went with Jamaal to Niceville, FL. He had to go to Eglin AFB to check in to prove that he didn’t go more than half way across the country for his leave. While there, our friend Chris chauffered us around. He wanted to stop at this store that we passed by called the Philippine Market, he being Filipino and all. So we went there and picked up various forms of Asian food, mostly snacks. Chris rented a couple of Filipino movies. The people there were so nice that when we were about to leave, the offered to let us sit down and have a share in their shrimp dinner. We declined the offer, but Jamaal got some shrimp for the road.

Friday, Jamaal and I went to a store called the Asian Market here in Mobile. We wanted to get some more Pocky, which is this japanese snack consisting of this thin pretzel like stick dipped in chocolate. The didn’t have the Pocky, but they did have this stuff called Yan Yan which is pretty similar, but the sticks and the dip are separated, and were in strawberry and vanilla flavor. I also bought an Asian pear. When I was in high school, my 11th grade PACE teacher brought some for the class one day. They’re really juicy and to me are like what would happend if a pear and an apple had a baby. I also got these little cake things that tasted like funnel cakes without the powdered sugar, but with sesame seeds on top. I didn’t find out what they were called, but I’m definitely going back to get more of those.

Oh, and I also drew a portrait of Chris, but I don’t have it w/ me now. So I’ll scan it and post it probably before the day is over.

Almost a week ago I told Jamaal that I had this interesting pic that I took that I wanted to post. He came to town because he got leave for the holidays, and I had still not gotten around to posting the thing. And he’s all anxious wondering what could this pic possibly be. When he sees it he’s gonna be so through with me it’s hilarious.

So anyway, here it is:

I was at the high school where my mom works, waiting for her to get off. My sister and I had gone to the gym to watch the JV basketball team practice. After the practice was over, they all gathered around in this huddle. I was really taken by how everyone had their arms around each other, cuz you often don’t see guys showing that type of affection, even if it’s not seriously heartfelt. Anyway, I thought it was cute. ^_^

FINAL GRADES:

History of Graphic Design…..B
Figure Drawing I…………………A
Intro to Graphic Design…….. A
Typography…………………………A
Introductory Spanish I………..A

Too bad I’m not taking Spanish next semester. I want to, but I don’t have to take a foreign language at all for my major. I just took it this semester to learn the basics. I was going to take it again, but I needed other classes more. Oh well. At least it helped to boost my GPA.

So that’s like 70 credit hours down and 58 more to go.

Yay! It’s the first Monday in a very long time that I haven’t had to get up early and go to class. Last week even though classes were technically over, I still had to get up to go to my Spanish final. So I’m glad all that’s over.

If the site looks weird it’s because I’m doing stuff to it, so it should be fixed in a little bit. : )
