All day Mondays

I'm excited about my Philosophical Perspectives class because the focus is on food: the history and how it affects our society. 
There are 3 graphic design students (including me), 1 film student, 1 photography student and the rest of the class (about 15 others) are all culinary students. I've had this teacher before, Mrs. Uhlmeyer, for Art History, so I'm familiar with what she expects.
My friend Crystal is in the class and never had the pleasure of this teacher's tutelage, and she appeared a little frightened with all the verbiage being thrown about, so I patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I help you."
The lectures seem to serve as a point of inspiration to spark ideas for our papers and projects we'll have due. Of course I like listening to history lectures anyway. I could watch the History channel all day.

Now, in my only design class I have this quarter, Corporate Identity, I'm nervous about redesigning a company's identity.  This website, Rebrand.com has some really good examples of what we'll be doing. We had to pick a company from a list given to us. I chose Aldo Shoes.
I know nothing about fashion or being fashion forward, so I'm definitely not a customer. But we have our assignment, questions to answer, a process to go through in order to be able to come up with ideas for our redesign. So far, I've realized that their current logo, which is just type based, is outdated. So I'm going to try to come up with a symbol based logo. My teacher thinks this is a good idea, too. I have had this teacher before, Mr. Abraham, and he's pretty good at assisting in ideas and design.
I'm still worried that I won't be able to either come up with a good idea or that I still don't possess the skills necessary to make my idea come to fruition.

On a fun note, I got a kiss on the cheek today from a boy I like and I think another guy I like gave me a flirtatious compliment. I sat at a table where he was, and a bunch of other people were at the next table looking at something on a laptop. So when I sat, I realized I might be in his way, so I turned and said, "oops,  am I in your line of sight" and he said, "Nah, and even if you were, it's ok." *Blush*
