Present Joys
“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

What I did this week (19 apr 2012)

  • Reunited with all my friends after my time away.
  • Did probably my worst drawing of the semester in figure drawing. To quote Boryana: “It isn’t your best drawing ever…”
  • Watched the movie version of A Streetcar Named Desire for the entire duration of my American lit class, which I consider a new low.
  • Had a typically glorious time in M-Tabs’ team class. She entered the classroom and said “How is my favorite class doing today?” and she also bought every team a big oatmeal-raisin cookie. These are special times.
  • Visited Ohio State University’s historic costume collection and got a little tour from the curator, Gayle Strege, who is an instantly-likable person. Also saw an exhibition of girl scout uniforms which were all really neat.
  • Spent all of wednesday’s Illustration class making a little figure out of Sculpey clay.
  • Took a make-up History of fashion quiz during my wednesday lunch break.
  • Spent the rest of my wednesday lunch break in Mr. Burleigh’s office talking about what I missed last week, which was a really really nice time.
  • Had small-group peer crits in Burleigh’s class, which were rather unhelpful.
  • Took a make-up art history test on thursday afternoon. I used my laptop to write so I ended up with 2,000 words, which was entirely too many.
  • Suffered through the whole week because my wisdom teeth are coming in and I can only open my mouth about 1/2″ without pain. This makes eating lunch difficult, so it’s a good most of my lunches this week were eaten either alone or in the dark of my art history class.
  • Made plans for a friday team-class meeting. Our project is due in just over a week and things are getting very serious!
