Present Joys

• Spent monday morning pouring more plastic. If that sounds exactly like last week, that’s because our teacher has given us no due date for the current project and we’re all stuck in a time warp.
• Discovered that the new Crane Café barista lives in the same apartment building as Jason; started making plans with Amanda to induce romance.
• Got out of advanced type 40 minutes early on tuesday because Mr. Burleigh misplaced all the files for our new project. I used the extra time to prepare for my ominous draping midterm.
• Took my draping midterm, which was not actually a midterm but instead an intense two-hour timeframe during which I had to interpret a dress from a randomly-selected illustration and create it on a dress form. It was a fun-yet-physically exhausting experience.
• Almost went to Wendy’s during thursday morning’s ad class, but didn’t.
• Despite not making a Wendy’s run, killed lots of time with Amanda and Jason during ad.
• Used the microwave in the student lounge—a thing I don’t typically do—and talked to a friend I don’t typically see. Ended up missing the first fifteen minutes of advanced type, but nobody seemed to mind.
• Had an “ice cream frozen yogurt social” at my OhioHealth internship, celebrating ten years.
• Finished the week by having a very nice meeting with Mr. Mohr about fall classes.

• Poured a bunch of plastic in Package Design. (Remember, I’m designing little perfume containers?)
• Had another highly disappointing turnout for monday friendship lunch. It was just me and Dorian this week. I guess everyone is just too busy!
• Stayed extra-late monday afternoon to print portfolio pages in the digital print lab. It was not a fun time, but I got the job done haphazardly.
• Stayed even later monday afternoon to do my draping homework. Women’s clothes are a drag.
• Turned in my junior portfolio tuesday morning; had a one of those walk-around-and-write-on-paper-style critiques. I received unusually positive feedback! Huzzah.
• Had a laid-back thursday morning ad class. Spent a half hour playing hooky on a couch with Jason and Amanda on the first floor of Crane.
• Turned in finals for Advanced Type. We finished up the class week with a very pleasant knit-n-crit of our finals. We conducted the entire crit with digital files; Burleigh sat behind the computer and went through our pdf presentations. To see him in action, you’d think he’d never used a computer before…
• Started thinking about fall semester classes; started stressing out big time. I can’t wait till all this is finally over.
