First day class

My first class happened today.  It was Form Study, from 8AM-1PM (or 12PM, today).  It went in this order:
Professor introduced the class
We paired-up, by name, interview the other person, then present the person to the class
Professor explained the syllabus
We walked to Landmark.  Not suppose to speak, had to be aware of surroundings.
We checked out the "cage" (where you can sign-out tools and equipment)
Each person got instructions for a project
Class ended an hour early

I found out that I will only have 5 more Form Study classes this semester, because 2 classes are on holidays/days-off.

On our walk, I learned to not wear heels.

My first assignment is from Woman's Day Magazine.  It's instructions on how to make a bird's nest bowl, an arts and crafts project.  My professor wants us to experience what it's like to conform to strict rules, and what it's like for "people who usually don't do art" to make art.  Bird's Nest Bowl

It's an interesting concept to have art students follow strict rules, but I don't like to do these types of arts-and-crafts projects.  I think that we could've been assigned a different type of project.

After class and lunch, I took a 30 min. (power) nap, and walked to Kennedy and Tower, both are part of MassArt, to sign up for Apple Picking and a comedy event, and to figure out some other things.  Then I went to Landmark, 15 min. away, to Staples to get the card-stock for my Bird's Nest, and Shaws for food and trash/recycle bins.  It was all pretty heavy to carry back to my dorm.

Later, I went to the MassArt library (only art/reference books), Wentworth library (very little fiction books), and Wentworth cafeteria to bring food back to my dorm.  I checked out a lot of books, so that was also heavy to carry.  The books are about design, sociology/psychology, and a couple classic fictions.  There doesn't seem to be leisure books here.

My roommates and I don't like social events, and even though I tried several social events, I still prefer being by myself (ie. walking to Landmark alone, listening to music).  Especially in the city here, to be alone is more of a rarity, because there are so many people.
