So my religion professor...

... is a freaking picky grader. -_- Michelle and I were just talking about it. Not to mention that on today's test, there was question COMPLETELY out of left field... and on the previous test, there was question that shouldn't have been there because we didn't really talk about it and he said he just wanted us to see how the system worked.
Seriously, I like Don, but the class is iffy. Michelle's pretty livid about it; she's a self-described overachiever and knows her GPA for this semester's going to drop quite a bit because of this class. And it's an intro religion class, too. It's the lowest one. But he's nitpicking about our ethnographic notes, like we've done them before, and taking points off.
Made some changes to the design for my next clay project, which I'll go over with Bethany when I see her. Instead of cups, I'm making lanterns of a sort. They're going to be tall cylinders, like the candles you see in bodegas with religious imagery on them, only not transparent (since they WILL be made of clay), and I'm going to make the openings wide enough that you can stick one of those small candles inside. I'm gonna put holes into the form near the top so light from the candle not only comes out of the top, but outward from the holes. I'm making this change because Bethany said she wanted the pieces to be yay high, and building cups, that won't happen. I mean, I guess they could just be very tall mugs, but I like the lantern idea better. XD;;
I'm leaning heavily toward sticking with 3D art while I'm here. In the beginning I'd said I would stick with 2D only, but now that I've gotten my hands on clay, I really like it. I love it, actually. And I feel like that's something I could use once I leave here, if I get enough skill. Plus, Bethany's an awesome teacher. I'll have her for two classes next semester.
Anyway, to class! Thus begins the FUN part of my day. Everything after religion is smooth sailing, haha. And tonight we watch Hetalia in Otaku Culture Club. I'm so glad I found fans here. Happy CJ is happy.
