Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

What I did this week (1 feb 2013)

  • Enjoyed a typically brief time in package design and then spent monday morning in the fashion lab, which afforded me a serene and beautiful view of Broad Street in the pouring rain.
  • Had knit-n-crit in tuesday’s ad class. I was the very first person to give my presentation. Then: I just sat and watched everyone else.
  • Watched Cheryl Steele demonstrate front bodice dart variations in Draping! It was tons of fun.
  • Did lots of actual work for my internship at OhioHealth. Worked on graphics for a health-related Facebook app; sat in on a corporate-sponsorship meeting. The usual office stuff.
  • Dealt with crazy weather all week. On tuesday it was so warm I was sweating in a blazer and scarf; on wednesday it was raining cats and dogs (I had to wear rubber boots to work and change into loafers when I got to my desk!); on thursday it was freezing cold and snowing.
  • Gave Amanda advice about her outfit and received equal parts grief and gratitude.
  • Bought soup at the Crane Café (my first soup purchase of the semester!) Made a snarky comment about eco-friendly packaging which Richard, the food-service boss man, interpreted seriously.
  • Ran into Bob (CCAD’s greatest model and a swell guy) reading the newspaper in Crane and learned the story of his long hair.
  • Ended my week the way I started it, in the fashion lab working on Draping homework, with an equally beautiful view of downtown Columbus during snowfall.
