Yesterday, the sculptor of the upcoming gallery exhibit in the Fine Arts Center came in to talk to my Design class. He explained what the exhibit will display; it will display a contemporary arrangement of items which relate to the Vietnam War. He told us that when we first walked into the gallery we would be incredibly confused. He said we should think about the space which contains the art, and give the art some time and thought.
His father is a Vietnam veteran, which inspired him to traverse this profession. He was a student of my current Design Professor, when she was teaching at UNI. The exhibit is opening soon, but currently the artist is setting up the sculpture inside the gallery due to its brobdingnagian size.

Halloween
Yesterday was Halloween. I spent the night, and the night before, watching scary movies with my girlfriend. First, we watched The Blair Witch Project. At first the movie didn't seem very scary; it was shot entirely through the view of an everyday camera, like Cloverfield, & Paranormal Activity. Towards the end, it became more apparent what the characters were getting scared about. The viewer never actually gets to see what the characters feared night and day, but this mysterious aspect makes the movie more horrendous.
After that, we should have worked on homework, but instead we put in Scream. Scream was very presently scary almost instantly and soon, I was hooked. The movie starts out with a girl, alone in her own home. A mysterious caller keeps contacting her and eventually begins to harass her and soon she is dead. The movie then goes to the main part of the story, where a girl is at school and soon hears the news of a couple of deaths of classmates the night before. The movie goes on and more people die, then (near the end), the main character narrowly escapes murder several times before figuring out who the killer -or in this case, killers -really are. They are a boy who is the main character's boyfriend, and his friend. They both became psychopathic murderers with no motive to kill, which makes it much less expected that they were the killers.
Eventually, I got to doing homework and finished off my Halloween with some Accounting problems. All in all, Halloween was a fun night, but the real Halloween celebration is yet to come, as the band party is this weekend! I plan to attend with my girlfriend, dressed as a chicken, while she will be the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
