I spent this past weekend with these people, my Other Family, and it was fantastically wonderful.
What I did this week (15 mar 2013)
- Endured a “you guys really need to start getting your crap together” lecture from Burleigh in Advanced Type. The one weekend I figured I could slide by without doing any homework…
- Had a very normal wednesday at OhioHealth (those are the days I work from 8am–6pm), except for a little lunch outing with Amanda at Jack’s Diner, a very cute, very hidden downtown lunch place.
- Didn’t have to go to my Draping class this week, because Cheryl Steele planned for us to do an offsite homework project (more on that later). Instead, I got in some extra internship hours.
- Celebrated Jason’s birthday on thursday with cupcakes from Amanda and Jen!
- Worked hard to have some actual progress for thursday’s advanced type. Lectures are no fun.
- Celebrated Jason’s birthday (some more) by making our an annual trip to the North Market.
- Took a nice photo of our food before eating it.
- After lunch, drove to Easton to complete that offsite homework assignment for the always-tough Cheryl Steele. I examined dresses at Nordstrom and other stores.
- Then: it was spring break.
I accept and respect all schools of painting which have as their basis the sincere study of nature, the search for the true and the beautiful. As for the mystics, the impressionists, the pointillists, etc., I don’t see the way they see. That is my only reason for not liking them.William-Adolphe Bouguereau

This past sunday, my friend Allison and I drove to Dayton for the annual Ohio Sacred Harp Convention! We sang for hours in a small, plain room! And we had wonderful potluck dinner on the grounds! Here’s a photo of some fellow Columbus friends.
