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 (end-of-semester edition!)

  • Learned the hard way that pretty much nobody in town can do a coil bind longer than 11”.
  • Was told that my drawings look like Ingres’, which is something teachers keep saying to me.
  • Took my last anthropology test, which I felt really unprepared for but ended up doing well on anyway.
  • Locked my keys in my car and had to have CCAD security break into my car (and they did an excellent job!)
  • Turned in my final project for the Worst Class of the Week, ended up getting 100% on it! What a relief!
  • Turned in my photo portfolio and said goodbye to Barb.
  • Took my fourth and final science test, which seemed to go really well.
  • Presented the final of my team’s seven-week-long signage redesign project, which also went shockingly well.
  • Ate Christmas cookies and chocolate milk brought into class by Mrs. Tabler.
  • Finished my illustration class with a short 90-minute crit.
  • Visited Ian’s ceramic studio space where he gave me two amazing teacups.
  • Had one last on-site friendship lunch where Dana also gave me an amazing teacup. (My friends are the best!)
  • Re-printed, mounted, and wrapped all my work for Burleigh so I could turn it in for extra points. Ended up using the cheapskate mounting technique™ for several boards—don’t tell!
  • Brought homemade gingerbread cookies into Burleigh’s class, which ended up getting kinda upstaged by Audrey’s Panera leftovers-in-a-trashbag. But that was ok.
  • Didn’t have to go into class on thursday until 12:30; had an extremely short knit-n-crit.
  • Said goodbye to absolutely everybody.
  • Gave Mr. Burleigh a hug (not as awkward as you might think).
  • In summary: WHAT AN AMAZING SEMESTER.
