Psych Test

Today I took my psych test, I'm not that sure what to think of it.  It was nice because it was more general than I expected, but it was harder becuase I studied such specific facts that I didn't know some of the basic principles.  One example is I could list every phase of Piaget's theory of development, and what every phase caused.  But there would only be a question asking "Who made the theory of development" and I would know it was Piaget, but that also meant I wasted a lot of time memorizing that.  Only to get other general questions which I didn't memorize because I thought they weren't that important.  It was open note, so that probably helped me though.

I also bought a cd by BRMC today, I don't like very many of their songs because they seem like pretty cookie cutter songs with too much repetition through really long choruses.  I'll check my itunes to see if it looped it or something, but that's how the songs is supposed to be.  I probably should have listened to this on Youtube before I bought it.  Here is one of the songs I think is okay though.

At least we have a two hour delay tomorrow.  I also guess downloading that Windows Vista patch on Sunday didn't fix my computer, so I'm not that sure what to do about that.

3 Day Weekend

This weekend was kind of busy, I have one of my two tests of the semester in psychology tomorrow at Saint Francis, so I've  studied a lot on Friday, Saturday, and all of today, I am probably over studying for it, because I don't think it will be as hard as I am studying for it to be (if that makes sense.) I didn't really have time to do very much fun, but I did get about another 100 frames in my animation, and I might be making another background for it in a couple weeks, which I can post while I make it.

I think I may have also fixed a problem that was making my computer freeze instead of going to the screen saver too, which is kind of nice because it was annoying to go away from the computer for 15 minutes, find out it froze, and then restart the computer, wait for it to scan the computer for some reason (I didn't get any option not to scan), and that was just kind of annoying because I'd have to walk by my computer and hit the space bar every 15 or so minutes if I was working on a paper or animation to prevent it from freezing.  I just fixed it by downloading some update for vista on the internet.

Febuary 15

Today I am going to study for my math quiz Thursday, finish my Composition essay, finish the chapter summary for Strunk and White, study for a Latin quiz that is tomorrow, and then I will probably have some time to play a game on the computer with some friends.  I'm also looking forward to Thursday I'll get to have a three day weekend, which will be pretty nice.

I also downloaded the somewhat new Black Keys CD on itunes.

 I probably like this CD less than their "Attack and Release" cd, but it's still pretty good, here's a song from that CD.

Monday

Today I'm going to probably write my paper for composition and do the assignment for Thursday.  I also have my class at St. Francis today for psychology, it's only once a week which is kind of nice, so I'll probably study for that until 5.

This weekend

Haven't really done much this weekend, today I'm just going to study psychology, probably try to get 20 more frames done in my animation, do the etymology homework, and do my math homework. 

Finished Background

I think I'm finally done with this background.  I think it turned out pretty well, it would be nice if I could have added some more color, but a picture of something at night is kind of hard to put any color in.  I may add some lights to the rooftop, but I don't think I need to make any more major changes.

Coloring background

I added even more details to the building on the left, and started shading it.  It took me a pretty long time to find a design that looked good on the building's frame, I think I should still make the doors a little more narrow, door looks pretty wide right now.  You can click the picture to get an enlarged version of it.

Background Day 2

Since yesterday I've added quite a bit of detail, changed the line size to .5 so I can add more details in between lines, I also shifted the viewpoint slightly.  I'm still creating a kind of architecture style for both buildings, I'm thinking an emphasis on grid-like shapes for the building on the right, and an emphasis on vertical lines to the building on the left.  I'm also adding in more random items to put on the roof and give it more of a tone.

Starting New Background

I decided to redo my old background because the buildings seemed kind of out of proportion, so I'm just going to post this background from start to finish.  The random square is there so I can compare the height of a person to the walls/windows around him.
