Evaluation Time

Evaluation time is upon us (my graphic design class and I) and it is always an interesting experience. This year since we are last in the wing to be evaluated, we have nearly two weeks without classes that we can work on our projects. The extra time is necessary as we were handing in projects right until our last day of classes, but it is interesting to see how everyone manages their time. There is a group of regulars who come throughout the day and then a group who come at night. I like to keep a regular routine, I feel that working regular office hours will help to prepare me for when I graduate.

It is always a stressful time, but looking back the times I got the most stressed was when I didn't take breaks. Going to the gym for an hour might mean I have an hour less time for homework, but it's refreshing and helps you concentrate when you get back to work. Planning out my time and allowing for breaks makes the difference.

Cookie-Cutter

While I’m mildly grossed out by playing with my food, this take on chess is a neat idea. When playing board games snacks are often brought out, this cookie-cutter set skips that step and integrates snacking into the game. Each piece contains your choice of snack and when you take down your opponent, the snack is yours.
