::scowls:: Why didn’t anyone tell me that my blog layout breaks down on Macs? Hisssssss. Must fix when I get home.

Meanwhile, I’m quite pleased, because I originally thought I wouldn’t have net access when in Philly, but because I’m staying with one of my sister’s friends tonight, I get to use her computer while she’s out in a study group. Good gravy, I’m in love with this city! ::dies::

I got to meet with Becky Young, one of the photography instructors, who let me develop some of my film so that I could ensure I was getting the Fee-ish effects I desired. I absolutely love what I’ve developed so far! The fisheye lens is way too cool. Four rolls down, twelve to go. Well, sixteen rolls so far, plus whatever I shoot in the next few days. Mrs. Yoshii (my photography teacher) is going to be floored. Yay for overachievers! Hehe, the rest of my class hates me. XD

I also got to meet with Amy Calhoun, big cheese of the Digital Media Design program, who redefines coolness. She’s such a happy person — just being in her presence for two minutes is enough to make your whole day. She showed me the new animation/modeling facilities, in which dozens of cameras from four different angles plot the movement of specific points on the body, which can be translated onto a digital form, a la Gollum. I can’t wait to go to school here! Penn is a lifetime of dreams come true! ::dies of joy::

Edit: Oh! I forgot! Amy showed me a first-prize-winning short film some DMD students made about Ninjas. Too cool. They had Real Ultimate Power.
