Day 26: tue, 15 oct 2013. Back in Columbus: La-Neka hardcore-judges my dreadful attempt at weaving milled wire.
After the portfolio review, all fourteen minni kids walked back to the hotel together. This photo was taken in the elevator going up to our rooms, shortly before I was reprimanded by my friends for screaming too loud in an elevator at nighttime.
Oh, friday! You were beautiful.
- We started the day with breakfast (I ate an English-muffin breakfast sandwich and stashed another one in Anna’s bag) and then sat in on a general session.
- Then we raced back to the hotel to catch a taxi to tour Sevnthsin, which was in a cool, industrial part of town. It looked like a really great agency which I was very glad to tour! Besides practical work environments, they had arcade games, a ping pong table, and a small replica of the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks.
- THEN practically all of us had lunch at the hotel on CCAD’s dime.
- Raced back to the convention center in time to sit through a very boring breakout session. Thankfully, Julia and I kept each other occupied with a very dry text message conversation while sitting next to each other.
- After a short refreshment break, we went back into the big auditorium. I wrote a cheeky tweet to John which showed up on the big big screen! We listened to more people talk.
- Had a nerve-wracking portfolio review where I was locked down to a table and random people came by. Got some good advice mixed in with a bunch of lame advice. Classic portfolio reviews.
- Once it was over, there were lots of hugs. Let’s never stop this, okay? Can we keep doing this always?
Our hotel has a full-size basketball court (exciting)! AND an escalator (less exciting)! After sports were had, we rode the escalator. Then we had dinner at a place called “The News Room”. Pretty much all of us had hamburgers but I was the only person who ordered mine rare.
