FINALLY getting started!

We had orientation yesterday and it's making me even more antsy to get this semester started! Yesterday, we took a small walking tour around the area right by the institute, so we know where the cheap markets are, and more good stuff like that. We also stopped by the local public library to check it out and found this, as we walked through the front door:

A giant tunnel/tower of books!! SO COOL!

We just got done with our studio orientations, and I can't wait to start the projects that we'll be working on. My professors are really nice, and they are hilarious, so it's definitely going to be a lot of fun. Our studio space is really nice- very spacious and we've all got our own designated tables and working space, which makes things so much easier! So, that's all I really have to update on so far- basically I'm just getting prepped for classes.
The internet here is not so great, but I'll still try to keep posting pictures on my online albums (you can get to them by looking the right side bar of this blog and clicking on "Photo Albums").
