dirty pop

what up world! Last night was pretty amazing. We had all the Turkish girls from studio over at our place, along with some of their friends. We listened to some good ole american hip hop for a while, then they took us to this 90's Turkish pop music club. It was awesome. The music was pretty standard, most of it just had a catchy beat and was repetetive. Only problem is my ears are still ringing this morning haha.

Most of the weekend I've been working on this video project for my cultural context class. The teacher is...umm..."spacey". I don't know if that is a word, but it pretty much sums it up. Last Wednesday she told us to make a video that expresses our trip to Mardin....without using any video clips....that is due a week later.

So, I jumped on it. I've always wanted to learn how to do 3D animation, so I sat down and started teaching myself how to use Adobe After Effects on friday. I picked it up pretty quick, and spent all friday night and all day saturday building my little cube in 3D. I still have to animate it, but that is the easy part...I think haha. I'm using Linkin Park's "shadow of a day" for the music. I dont know, it was weird...that song was stuck in my head for some reason over the trip. It was only fair for me to use it in my "video."

Hopefully I can finish the video today and post it up on the blog. Don't get over excited about it though, its really simple. 

Thanks Sandy and dad for staying up and letting me watch the race yesterday! You guys are the best. 

So I'm going to Paris in 4 days! Nick, adam, and I are flying over there for the weekend. We made a friend while in London, and she invited us to stay at her house for the weekend...for free. I can't say no to that. Our flight was $215, and we are staying for free. So all I have to do it pays for food, and I know she knows where all the cheap joints are at. I'm gonna see if I can take a trip to Paris for around $300 hahaha. How amazing is that?? I'm PUMPEDDDDDD
