Alright, I'm back

I've been gone for a while. Yesterday we got back from a six day trip to Taipe. I had a really great time, but no internet. I am going to have to put up a huge post about it, but right now is not the time.

Today we didn't have ceramics class because the students that are teaching us were still in Taipe cleaning up from the YODEX convention. We did have glass class however. We worked on making more stuff out of clay today for the glass casting. Next week we are going to make the plaster molds and whatnot. After class Matt, Ryan and I went to town with Tin-Man. He had to get a tire patched, and then we ate at KFC. It's funny that I have had KFC twice already while on this trip but I haven't eaten KFC in the United States since high school. The KFC over here has some crazy dessert that is amazing and addicting. It is made out of eggs(?), and tastes a little like coffee to me.

After dinner I went to the library with the guys and attempted to get some sketching done since we haven't done any real work for studio in a while and the deadline is coming up soon. I feel like my ideas and sketches are horrible right now. I should feel inspired after seeing all of the cool designs at the convention in Taipe, but I just feel lazy instead.

The library closes at ten every night, which is really early compared to Auburn's library which closes at 2. I've never needed to stay at Auburn's library for a long time, but now that I need to stay in one, it closes on me!

Ryan and Matt brought their ping pong paddles with them so we went down to the room for about an hour after sketching and played. Well, they played. I am so unbelievably horrible at ping pong compared to them. I spend more time retrieving the ball than hitting it.
