Today was much more fun! We got to play with text and objects and do some really neat exercises. Here is one:

I know it doesn’t look like much but it has layers, gradients, masks, shading, and ellipses. We used all kinds of cool tools to make this little sucker so I was kind of proud of it!
We also learned how to make text look really neat. Here is an exercise that makes the text look like balloon letters:

Crappy iPhone pics, I know. I saved them on a flash drive that they gave us but I don’t feel like finding it right now.
Lunch today was split pea soup and a salad. I didn’t get feta on it because I was scared I was going to OD on feta cheese. I’ve never tried split pea soup, but I figured the soup was such a hit yesterday I might as well try it. It was pretty good…and I don’t even like peas!
I got a killer workout in this afternoon. I actually ran a little bit! I haven’t been able to run in like 2 months because of my knee but I managed to kick some butt and I feel fine now! I’m not pushing it though because nothing is worse than being totally out of commission.
I am starving right now! I hope dinner gets here soon :(
