art metals: day one

my first day of class was intense. it's going to be 7 hours per day, 4 days per week. i have to give a speech tomorrow on the baroque to revolution period. history of jewelry stuff. should be interesting, actually. my instructor has an accent, which is a definite plus :) she's a brit! i made a couple of friends. one is a girl with a russian name from appleton who used to be a psych major but ditched it for art. she smiles a lot, but in a nervous way, and doesn't wear a bra. i don't remember her name. i also made friends with a butch lesbian named Dee who does landscape architecture and has a massively awesome fanny pack with multiple compartments.
i have to have my piece all planned out by tomorrow!!!! it is going to be a brooch pin that has to symbolize my assigned era (baroque to revolution). it's going to be very complicated. bring on the challenge! not sure how much i'm going to be able to work while i'm taking this class. hmm.
is it true for sure that madam banana is coming back this thursday?!?!
