Present Joys

Look! My friend Anna made a birthday mixtape for me and crafted this magnificent container to hold it.

October 23 also happens to be my birthday. To celebrate, I had not one but two delicious meals with dear friends. First: breakfast at with John (my birthday twin!). We met each other at the DK Diner at 7am to have a delightful meal before heading to class. Note John’s utterly sleepy facial expression and the fact that it is still pitch black outside. Also: for lunch, I continued the tradition of eating Polish food with Jason at the North Market. (Amanda was not present and was greatly missed.)

• Had an offsite friendship lunch which was an extremely nice change-of-pace.
• Enjoyed another productive, encouraging independent study meeting. Concerning my color palette and page wireframe, Lutz said “I think you’re done!” That .
• Stayed late after Marketing to work on our “team project”. We took about an hour and finished the whole thing.
• On tuesday (my birthday), brought frosted sugar cookies to school. Gave a special sprinkle-laden cookie to John, my birthday twin.
• Finished my first bezel-set ring. Polished it repeatedly.
• Tracked down CCAD’s chair of Fashion Design and got signed into two fashion classes for next semester. A real boon!
• After jewelry, went to the North Market for some delicious Polish food with Jason and Amanda. They paid for my meal! and the woman serving us gave me a free extra birthday-portion!
• Drove to school at 9:30pm for a super-late meeting about a pop-up store thing that will be materializing later this semester. I did it mostly for M-Tabs. More on that as things unfold.
• On thursday, made actual progress in ad class. We are supposed to generate ad comps over the weekend.
• Had a nice, reassuring conversation with Mr. Felton about my copywriting skills.

Today was my birthday. After school, I went to Hubert’s Polish Kitchen with Jason and Amanda and ate a ton of good food.
