How "Creatives" work

Here at school I have found a new word. Its "Creatives", as in " as Creatives we think differently from normal people" (one of the speakers said this over and over) not sure how I feel about this...

we had several talks about how artists work and how we as "Creatives" do this too. People would throw out what works for them, and guess what for everyone it was different and most of it was contradictory. So at the end of the day turns out cuz' we are "Creatives" we all think differently not only from everyone else but also from each outer. Big shock, i could have told you that without sitting through the hour long lecture.

Something I am glad to know is that I am so happy that Orientation is over, officially over no more name games, random facts about the school, or long talks from anyone the admins can think of.

I'm not saying it was not helpful, it was. All my questions were answered, even the questions I don't know I had. We did some cool stuff like the alum talk, we had four people coming one was a glass artist, one was a guy working for Pixar (he graduated last year) he worked on Cars 2 and Toy Story 3. One was a photographer, her art was a bit wear for me but she has a really cool job where she travels around the world taking photos of restaurant and food. The last one was a Fashion major and now works for Levi's. A second cool thing we did was the taste of Oakland, I signed up and went to a Vegan Chinese restaurant.  Sounds wear and things only got wearer when you open up the menu and find things like pork egg roles, and then next to it in small red print "meat substitute"

The food was really good, I had noodles with peanut sauce and cucumbers. I tried some Chicken substitute and it was really no different then chicken.

All in all I am very glad that school will be starting soon. However i still have the weekend, so now i have to figure out what to do.

Lowdown on the Dorm.

Here it is. my Dorm. the place I will call home for the next nine mounts or so. My room is not bad really its big, well bigger then I thought and bigger then the ones in the outer dorm building. I shard a bathroom with the two girls in the next room so only four people, however I share a kitchen with 35 or so other people. and as there is not meal plan this can get a bit crazy. I have one Roommate, she is from Shanghai she's very nice and its really interesting living with her and the cultural differences that come up, like where I would just have sweeped the dorm floor she mops it, I'm going to bet that we have the cleanest floor in the dorm.

Dorm life is very much like I expected.  its rare for it to be completely quiet except in the middle of the day. people do weird stuff for laughs and they try to make weird semi-etable food with whatever they can find. so far its been fun and fine the only time when it was taken to far was the third night where some people desired to talk in the hall until two in the morning. I did not want to be the one to break it up as i did not want to be the fun hating person who told them all to shut up and go to bed but a two i was too tired to care and when out and told them anyway. so whall i understand the having the dorm room experience is great, i am so getting a apartment next year.

Third day of orientation

Mattresses pad = success
Earplugs = most amazing things ever even if they fell out half way throughr the night

Im now in my way to the third day of orientation. Today we r in san fransicso at the secoumd campus the shuttle takes about 20 minutes its faster then BART witch has to takes all these stops. My fellow students are all interesting for excample a girl sitting two seers in front of me is wearing a straw hat, boots, and a big plastic watch in the shape of a star like the kind you used to get in a cereal boo it sounds like it would look super odd but in it kind of works.

Greating from Calafornia

Hi everyone - Its me Katie. well duh its my blog. I have decided to keep a blog about what is going on in my day to day new college life. I am doing this for several reasons

1) cuz' I'm lazy and don't want to send out individual e-mail to everyone (i will still call don't worry mom) and if your not great at facebook most of you guys can handle a blog.

2) it will be a way to record my fist year at college, I suck at keeping a journal lets see if I will be better at keeping a Blog...

3) So lots of you know that I'm Dyslexic, and i find that writing as often as possible that keeps my spelling and punctuation skills nice and shiny.

4) i know there are more reasons but i can't think of them at this time.

Post soon to come about orientation week, the dorm room, saying good-bye to my parents and all that good first week stuff!
