.... flapping /hell/, why can't they ...
Make it a little easier for people to work out what they're gonna do?!
We spent Friday traipsing around half of Portland - first to Sylvania campus, to talk to a PCC advisor about figuring out a transfer thing. We get out of there, I figure, okay - so I take the general crap there, then hope I can transfer the whole shebang over to AI. Right? Wellll...
Okay. We have to go into Portland /anyway/ - Andi's /finally/ got a contract, and he had to pick up some stuff so he could work on it. ('some stuff' being a server thing that, thankfully, doesn't take up too much space in the comp-room.. ^.^) So we hike over to AI, who's having an open portfolio show.
We go in, waffle around a bit and finally get to talk to one of their general guys (Not the lady we talked to Thursday morning in a phone interview - she's calling back tomorrow..) and discussed this thing.
*chuckles* I laid out the problem, my possible solution and the issues with it, with Andi's help, then, while he was waffling, fished out my portfolio.
"Let me show you something." I said.
.... I have never seen someone go from 'welll...' to, 'Okay! How can we help you do this!?' so damn fast. ^^ Anyway. He thinks my idea of taking the general stuff (Maths, sciences, psych, history..) at PCC is workable.
Having seen his reaction, I got the wild idea of setting up an online version of my portfolio. I will give Jo-Ann the URL tomorrow.. ^^
(Anyone curious can go here to see it..)
Since we were there, we wandered up and had a look at their portfolio thing. I'm now thinking that their Media Arts and Animation course might be more effective than their Graphic Design course - particularly after having had a look at some of the real-time /examples/ of the results of both courses. Wow...
I managed to avoid drooling - but /damn/ some of these people are absolutely /amazing/ ... ^^
The next stop was Whole Foods. I nearly walked out with fresh Oregon strawberries - and I /would/ have, if I thought I could get 'em home intact! ^^
I /did/ find some of the organic, no sugar added fruit leather strips I like so much. (Stretch Island, for the curious. I'm hoping Harvest Fresh also carries them....)
Anyway. Weird crap. First, fished out of Lutra's Pond -
how jedi are you? :: by lawrie malen
... Well, they got the 'badass' part right. Heh. ^^
Next, snitched out of Red for Pleasure,
You Are Absinthe!
You have a unique personality. Although most like you, sometimes you take some getting used to. You can be a bit strong. You are full of energy and sometimes flamboyant. You are the life of the party but if people are not careful you can knock them on their ass.
