Hullabaloo

Lately I've been working my butt off in the sculpture studio starting and finishing projects and writing/editing papers for my never-ending writing intensive classes. My (diabetic) friend Erica and I hadn't seen eachother in a week or two because she's been so busy as well. So today we ventured out to Target and Menards in search of cake-making ingredients and sculpture supplies. We each filled a bag at Target, then schlepped them over to Menards. Some people consider Menard's a man's store and all the areas we found ourselves in (building supplies, screws, etc.) were like a guy's hangout. And there we were, two girls with a cart full of groceries and a laundry list of supplies. Naturally, I forced them all to be friends with us as they led us to what we were looking for. After telling them we didn't have a car and that we would in fact be carrying these giant sheets of foam on the public bus, we ended up in the employees only section of the warehouse, maneuvering between forklifts as "Jerrick" led the way to the yard. In the end, we loaded up four 2ft x 4ft sheets of polystyrene foam onto the metro bus. Myself and the foam took up four seats. People were not happy. I then dragged the foam, an oak board, and another bag with a few supplies in it across campus to my dorm. It was a big hullabalo. And now I'm off to the studio to cut the wood and make the foam into something cool. That's all for now.
