the lazy one aka Dr@fting 101 (for Eng!neers)

I started doing my long weekend homework two days ago. We only have about 16 of these to do but it came on a sheet of 32, so I'm doing all 32 LOL. Sorry; if anyone is aware of the high school I went to, it was pretty much expected that you'd do more than the average, and if it came on a sheet with that many, that you'd do all. Haha.
It's been fun; I really like it. It's literally like you'd be making things out of metal, etc. Oh, I signed up also for another w00d class, which should be fun, and I have a metals class in the morning. I hope I keep all my fingers LOL (just kidding; I've worked with machining before LOL). So this term is def about using w00d, metal, and designing in 2D and 3D, with some printing in there. Oh, and c0ding. I'll be learning some of that too, on my own, as well as continuing with Pr0cessing. My background (even though yes, I did study 'art') in high school was pretty much a science intensive one, with a lot of math and whatnot. So it's nice going back and forth; it seems to satisfy both parts of my brain (if the brain really is divided that way; I actually think it's more connected, not divided, because a lot of the concepts are the same).
So this stuff is simple, but I"m aiming for accuracy and all that.
I absolutely love that about science. In art, a lot of the time, I feel like you get "how does this line make you FEEL?" In science, it's "if you draw the line this way, THIS is what you're communicating/ saying". Oh yeah, and the teacher starts on time and expects us to be PROMPT, and NEVER goes over. Ha! Find that in an arts class (where the teacher often will blab on mindlessly about himself/ herself and I"m sitting there thinking "Good God, I just missed the bus..argh!" LOL.
 I really love the precision of all it. I'm aiming to get better and better. In my trans teacher's class (well he's from a trans background and works for a car company design office but was teaching CAD), that stuff was driving people in my class (who were used to M@ya or Ph0toshop) CRAZY. I really really enjoyed it, though. At the end of the class, my prof said my ability to keep up and whatnot was impressive and I should think of stepping off to the next level of CAD and CAM. My goal is to not be sloppy, because there is PLENTY of that going around (particularly in the entertainment industry! That's why these guys from actual manufacturing industries are asked to come in and help) Also, to understand it well enough that I can think of something and start working on it with materials on my own. To be able to see an object through really thoroughly down to the last screw or rivet is really kind of amazing. I'd like to be able to sorta kinda be like that some day.
Okay, enough of that. Have a great Lab0ur Day weekend! (ha, I spelled it with a U again..dun dun!)
