hello?
Hi!
how are you?
I've actually been having a really good day!! How are you?
not too bad! its really late where I am what about you?
Yea it's pretty late here too, but I wanna get some more points for this things so here I am So to go along with the prompt up there, I honestly think I would just be so creeped out if my computer started asking me things...
yeah same but I think I would probably get used to it
I guess if it was a regular thing then eventually I would get used to it Also, if you think about it, I guess Siri already does talk to us through our computers/phones
yeah true so are you close in getting prizes?
I'm not close at all, but I keep getting my hopes up, so I'm still trying! So what are your hobbies?
I love to do art do you know when this contest ends?
What kind?? I do pottery a lot at school, and I'm also super involved in fine arts, so I go both ways I'm not sure when it ends, but I know it is soon
I want to know if its worth trying
yea I don't know if it is, but I've still had some pretty fun conversations anyway!
ooh its tomorrow lol it ends tomorrow hahaha I love pottery do you throw alot?
yea I actually threw a lot of the dishes that I'll be using in college!
wow!!!!! I love it
That was my big goal/project for this semester
thats awesome I love to make bottles and matching bowls
It was super fun! I tried to make sets that all matched, but some would break so I ended up just making them pretty random Oh that's cool! I have a couple bottle but I'm not super good at them
howl ong have you done ceramics?
I've taken pottery as a class at school for three semesters It's been really fun and kinda funny to compare the things I made my first semester with what I make now
hahaha I know right? i remember when i struggled to center things or to raise the clay
Ahhhh centering is still a struggle sometimes sometimes a go a long time without throwing becuase I'm glazing or putting more details into things, so when I go back it is a bit rough
I cant center a big ball of B-mix clay very well its too hard
My first semester, I saved some of the curls of clay that came off when I was trimming and attached them to the outside of a big bowl I made and it turned out so cool that was the best thing I made that semester Also that semester I liked to make things with good messages in them, so I made my best friend a cup that said "thank you for being my unbiological sister" and I have a big bowl that says "Choose" on the outside and then "hope peace love kindness forgiveness joy"
awwww I love it! I wish I had more time to do ceramics are you going to take the ceramics class here at BYU
I'm hoping to! I haven't looked into classes too much yet, so I'm not certain on anything yet
I heard its really fun! but non-studio arts majors only get one class they can take though which is lame
yea my dad took it (forever ago) and he loves BYU football, so he made himself a replica of a BYU football trophy!! It's so funny! oh that is kinda lame... It's better than nothing tho!
haha your dad is pretty cool yeah its better than nothing
yea he's pretty hilarious when i first told him I was gonna take the pottery class at school, he went into our basement and brought out all the things he made in college it was pretty awesome
he still kept it that is so cool so what are you going to start majoring in at school?
I'm either gonna do the therapeutic recreation and management degree, or exercise science, cuz they both kinda lead to occupational therapy how about you?
i am studying industrial design at BYU
that sounds cool! what exactly does that entail?
basically industrial design is product design. We design everything from shoes to computer screens to phones to cars
woah that's really cool! so do you have a specific thing that you would want to be designing?
so I am very interested in sustainability and I wan to try to help the industry use more sustainable materials so that we can be more environmentally conservative
oh that's really interesting! so would you design things along the lines of solar panels and wind mills, or is that the wrong direction?
so... it will be something like lets say that nike uses a lot of materials for shoes that won't recycle or is polluting the ocean or something I would want to help them find better materials that will decompose or is easily recycleable things like that
ohh i see that's really awesome!
thanks! I am super excited
was there anything that caused you to be interested in that?
when i used to live in florida I was disgusted by the polluted ocean and beaches and that drove me to seek out more knowledge about the environment and things like that and that snowballed from there hahaha
woah that's so awesome that you are doing it for a cause that is personal to you! it makes it so much more important that way
yes it does and I feel way more passionate about it and more driven than I otherwise might be
yea that makes sense! that's kinda how i am too cuz i'm hopefully gonna specialize in working with special needs students with occupational therapy
oooh wow
and in school right now I am an aide in the special needs class, so I do OT with them, so it is really personal for me and I am super passionate about it
that is going to be such a rewarding field
yea it so amazing to talk to the special needs teachers too cuz they always say that they definitely don't do it for the pay cuz it is way more work than they are paid for but they do it cuz they love it and they love the kids alrighty it has been super awesome to talk to you! I hope the best for you with your goals in life and maybe we'll be in the same ceramics classes sometime!! I have to go though, so goodbye!!
