The Friday Five ~ Reading
1. What’s your favorite magazine?
I have several favorites. Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure, Real Simple, and Weight Watchers are the ones I have subscriptions to.

2. What book are you currently reading?
Just wrapped up The Hobbit a couple weeks ago and am working on Fellowship of the Ring. If you can’t tell I’m rereading the whole Lord of the Rings series. I haven’t read the books since the movies came out.

3. What’s the worst book you ever read?
Twilight, mainly because I hated the movies and everyone was making me feel like I wasn’t allowed to hate the movies till I read the book. Well guess what I hate them all now, LOL. At least I can enjoy making fun of them, hah!

4. What makes a book perfect for you?
One that really draws me in to the point where I’ll stay up all night reading. The only book I’ve had that experience with is the Harry Potter series.

5. If you could buy any book right now, which one would it be?
Um… I’m good on books for now. There are a couple of interior design books on my wishlist, but I don’t need to buy anything right now.

The Friday Five ~ Comparisons
1. What’s something you do more quickly than most people?
I’d have to say navigate both the computer and Internet. Drives me nuts how slow people can at that sometimes, especially at my school and it’s a fellow web design major.

2. What’s something you do more carelessly than most people?
Probably posting what’s on my mind via Facebook or Twitter – whether it’s good or bad.

3. What’s something you do more slowly than most people?
Anything I am unfamiliar with or don’t really want to do.

4. What’s something you do more carefully than most people?
Check the spelling and grammar of the things I type on the web. Seriously people, there’s a reason why you have a red squiggly line under your words!

5. In what contexts are you more patient than most people?
Waiting in lines whether it’s at Disneyland or the grocery store. Also dealing with people in general – thanks to my years in customer service!

I can’t believe in less than 4 weeks I’ll be wrapping up my first quarter at school. Yesterday I registered for next quarter’s classes: Digital Illustration (all about using Adobe Illustrator – yay!), Typography, Fundamentals of Authoring (Flash – meh), and College Algebra (booooo). I’m getting the math over and done with so I don’t have to take it during the summer; I believe that will be the last math class I have to take. cross fingers

School has kept me super busy – busier than I like at times. What keeps me going is knowing I have a week-long break coming up in between quarters, so hopefully I will have some time to catch up on my web stuff. As for wedding stuff I went to another bridal fair last weekend, and then I have another one to go to next month at the church I’ll be getting married at. Other than that, not much to report on!

How are YOU doing?

    Oh god, when I took the equivalent of Fundamentals of Authoring, we used Macromedia Director and I did this really mediocre project on Norse mythology. It COULD have been really cool but it just wasn’t.

    Typography should be really awesome though; I loved my type classes. I elected to take the upper level type classes even though I didn’t have to because it interested me.

    Um, what do you do at bridal fairs? Is it like a trade show with booths?

    • Cristina says:

      The bridal fair is basically an event where all local vendors have a booth set up so you can check out what services are available to you on your wedding day. It’s a great way to go vendor hunting, especially if you’re open to anything for your wedding day. It’s been really helpful to see what options I have.

    Fingers crossed on it being your last maths class. So glad I don’t have any more now. I don’t think I could physically handle it now…
    Yeah time off is like the holy grail! It seems like all I do is just wait for the holidays. =]
