Phu Son Nguyen's Journal and Portfolio: School is BLAH! Origami isn't!

October 21, 2004

School is BLAH! Origami isn't!

I hate school and I don't even like my major anymore...it's getting a little tedious...I should really take this time "off" to think about what I really want to do with the rest of my life or at least for the next 5 years.

I feel like that I have been in school for such a long time already and it's time for me to move on and do something different like getting a real job or travelling...or maybe I should travel to Japan and teach for a year...or maybe I should just venture up into the mountains and live with the "Nature."

Well anyhow, I got a chance to watch a great movie earlier tonight with a few friends, it's called "Swingers". A very insightful movie it is, especially for me if you know what I mean or if you have seen it before. The movie is very funny and I would recommend it to any guy. =]

Anyways, onto something new...CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE

ORIGAMI

Well, as I promised, here is the first set of the series of origami that I will post eventually. I spent a good amount of my life saving on this kit from San Francisco...which includes Devin's gas money for driving me to San Francisco and my flight tickets to Sacramento!!! And if you think that this is a copyright infringement then come and get me and my 20 or so bucks in my saving account (the aftermath of the Laughlin trip).

Well...I've figured that I will share it with anyone who wants to make penguins, sea lions, whales, polar bears with me! Here are the instructions for the first of the series that I have folded and tested myself...Small Penguin.

Leave me a comment if you have any problem with it.

DOWNLOAD THIS MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENT AND PRINT IT OUT AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW. ========================================= YOU CAN ALSO CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE GALLERY WHERE I HAVE PICTURES OF ME FOLDING IT FOR CLARITY CHECKS.
