FYE #6

I don’t have anything new since a week but I just was so busy with homecoming spirit week. Last Friday, my roommate and I went to Wheaton mall and brought many stuff from Hot Topic, Target, Claire’s, etc for our big spirit week projects. Our projects were to create a mascot, paint a banner, paint a class flag, made a class video, and create a float. My roommate and I searched all stores at Wheaton Mall and couldn’t find a black cat stuffed animal so we decided to buy “Hello Kitty” cat doll and we just paint it black! That assignment was a success!
A banner, we need a long banner which five people altogether can hold it up. So my roommate is an artist and she drew an awesome concept of design. We drew and paint all day on Tuesday, added some details on Wednesday afternoon. Finally the class took the banner to the event on Wednesday night and the chairpersons were so fascinated with our class banner, thanks to my roommate!
A class flag, on Sunday, all of us completely forgot that the flag was due that night so I spent my relax Sunday on that flag. We pulled the sheet up on our sixth floor wall and painted it with black, red, blue, yellow, and silver. Added our motto, Curse The Curse on the bottom of the flag. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go to Home Depot and buy some poles. We ended up holding the flag on our hands all night. Other classes have beautiful flags with huge poles which they can put the pole in the ground and the flag will still stand! That is so unfair that we are freshmen and almost nobody have a car!
A class video, I was so overwhelmed with those five projects so one freshman young girl offered her help so I gave her my camera and the class script on Saturday and I hoped that she would follow the script and give me all the video so I can edit into a real movie at end of Tuesday. On Monday evening,the girl gave me the camera and I assumed that she actually did very well. On Tuesday when I uploaded all videos in the laptop, ehh, she went to the wrong way! She videotaped too much kissing, holding hands, hugging, and none of café chatting, studying, cheering at a game, and generally freshmen walking around the campus! So I kind of panicked and asked my best friend to help. Thank god that he is a expert with making a movie. On Wednesday, he gave up his free time and he videotaped all over again and he edited the whole movie until Thursday 4AM! On Thursday, he gave me the DVD and I watched the movie on my television with my nails biting and hoping that he went the right way! YES! He went to beyond than my goal!!!
A float, it is the most major project and the most HELL job! My friends and I spent all of our free time on the float since Saturday early morning. We finally completed the float on Wednesday late night. We created a go green float, all is cardboard instead plywood. We added some tissue paper and gift wrap of red, black, blue, and yellow. Spray painted all cardboard boxes with black, red, and silver. Decorated all over the float with silver and gold glitter and added some aluminum foil (look like silver) and white fluffy foam (look like spooky fog). At the end, we added our big cat mascot on the top! We actually appreciated our work!
Now we are so excited for this Saturday to show off our hell work with class of 2013 projects!!!!
