Day 49: tue, 26 nov 2013. Big brand presentation day. Moataz is stymied by technical difficulties.
What I did this week (22 nov 2013)
- Tuesday morning in jewelry, I delivered a half-hour-long presentation on enamel—the culmination of weeks spent practicing and studying the technique. After presentations, I frantically attempted to sprue and invest my wax-covered knitting in time for thursday casting.
- Worked through lunch and was late to my next class (Senior ad). I don’t think anyone missed me, though. Once I made it over to Crane for Ad, I promptly left to get some lunch. It was my first time visiting the CCAD cafeteria all semester; my foodservice friends were happy to see me and gave a ton of food. Then I went back to class and ate my lunch. By this point, it was already around 3pm.
- During my 3:30pm class (Portfolio), I did the work I ought to have done in my 12:30pm class. Julia and Anna were gone, so I actually got work done.
- Wednesday morning, we had presentations in Branding which lasted all three hours of class. It was pretty boring, but thankfully snapchat exists.
- Ate my lunch in the library, then headed to History of Cinema. We watched the 2002 film City of God. I was hoping it’d relate to Augustine somehow…)
- Thursday morning, we had more presentations in Jewelry followed by casting. Lots to do. I skipped lunch again.
- Enjoyed a visit from George Felton in Portfolio. He kept the class engaged for the whole three-hour period with scintillating remarks about résumés and cover letters.
- Friday morning during Branding, we gave a progress presentation to the Thurber House people. It went pretty well. There is a lot to do everywhere I look, but I’m staying on top of things and they’re turning out pretty good, so that’s good.
I saw Dan Bejar play a solo Destroyer show at the Wexner Center last thursday night (21 nov 2013). It was austere: one guitar, hardly any banter. Presumably because of this, he only played two songs from Kaputt. Most of the set was old songs I wasn’t familiar with. But it was a trip to see Bejar in real life—he is such a weird, intriguing dude. It was a nice musical diversion from life’s present insanity.
Day 48: fri, 22 nov 2013. John and Danielle sit in the very back of the classroom during Branding. Sometimes I go back there and bug them.
