Post OCAD

I had my interview today.
This is how my day went...
9am I woke up, went to Kinkos and printed my work. I'm disappointed in kinko's and I'm debating if I ever want to go there again instead of Staples. Their printer toner was low in yellow ink so my pages came out streaky. I thought that doing printing outside should equal better/higher quality printing (and not just higher quality paper), but I feel like if I had a good home printer, I could have done it myself. Word files, however, come out nice and crispy. But I don't understand why it looks 80% better on my computer, and when it prints, it looks uncrisp... is it resolution?

1pm I went to the bus station to go to Union. Then I realized I forgot my sketchbook, so I had to go back home. The next bus came at 2:20, and my interview is at 2:25. I begged mom for the car and she gave in.

2:30 I'm at OCAD, and I look around, and practically everyone is asian. I go into my interview room, and everyone IS asain. I was totally intimidated because everyone brought their large portfolios and original works, and all I had was a black sketchbook and my freshly printed portfolio book on a large empty table.
I'm interviewed twice, and the first guy didn't seem too impressed with my work because it looked so sparse and I didn't tell him I was from university in a non-related program. I mentioned it afterwards though, and he seemed a bit more understanding. He asked me to explain everything in my portfolio as well.
The second guy, just flipped through my portfolio and sketchbook without asking me about my work. I mentioned the being a university student thing to him first, and he was pleased and said, "Oh, that's very good. That's really useful and important" And then he asked me why people like sweet things. (Maybe it was a test) Anyway, he went through my portfolio more than once, and then said that I should apply for advance placement. And I was like, don't I need foundation year? I'm not really skilled in the arts/drawing etc. and he said, "You don't need to know how to draw for industrial design!" So, I said ok well, if it's another interview, I may as well, since there is nothing to lose. The only setback is that I may not know terms and etc. in classes in second year if I don't do first year. Anyway, so in the confidential interview paper, he showed me, he put an X in the box for YES, I SUPPORT THIS PERSON'S ADMISSION INTO OCAD, and then put a note on the side saying that he supports me for advance placement, and to ask him about it if there are any inquiries!

I hope Carleton could be as happy as that.

5pm I told mom the details, and then she asked me, "Do you want to go to OCAD?" I simply shrugged. I don't know!

8pm I'm having dinner with a cute 90 year old lady and my friend SMS's me to tell me I spelt the word "orchid" wrong in my portfolio. ><

I know I'm not 100% finished yet, but I am 3/4 the way there. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! It really does keep my head above the water.
