Present Joys

• Started the week with a Thurber House client meeting on monday afternoon. It was nice and productive; we toured the house and learned about the organization’s programs.
• Tuesday morning, spent my morning in jewelry sprung little swatches of knitting. I’m going to cast knitting in bronze!
• Turned in 100 logos on tuesday afternoon in Mohr’s class; had a very productive crit. Too bad! Our teacher didn’t like what we brought and assigned 100 more logos for next tuesday. You have got to be kidding me!
• Wednesday morning, I met my Brand and Market Development class once again in CCAD’s MindMarket for presentation day. The usual foolishness abounded, but we made it through safely. This marks the end of a long project about medication.
• Had a nice lunch with Amanda on one of the picnic tables outside the library. After that, I raced to History of Cinema where we watched Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. At least I completed a good chunk of knitting…
• My jewelry teacher overslept on thursday morning and was late to class; most people left, but I stayed and casted my knit swatches.
• After jewelry, I went to lunch with Dana at Portia’s Café for a belated birthday lunch. The food was good and an anonymous do-gooder paid for our meal. Can’t beat it with a stick.
• Following lunch, I went back to school and changed into a really embarrassing outfit in time for my afternoon ad classes. It was a great, surreal afternoon. Mr. Mohr and various classmates brought sweet treats—I ate approximately 100 candy corns. After a short presentation by Theresa, the rest of senior ad was full of pure shenanigans. We took group photos in our halloween finery.
• By the time Portfolio started at 3:30, only about ten people stuck around and I was experiencing a massive sugar rush. We had trouble concentrating while listening to great, loud music while trying to have a critique while still dressed in halloween costumes while still eating a bunch of sugary snacks. It was a glorious time.
• Enjoyed a typically relaxed friday morning.

More Halloween fun: In Portfolio, Mr. Mohr and Graham decided to dress as each other. Graham drank Perrier and sat at the teacher’s desk while Mr. Mohr sat in Graham’s seat and sanded some pine. Meanwhile, Michael Jackson plays loudly.

Day 35: thu, 31 oct 2013. We had a wild time celebrating Halloween in Senior Ad and Portfolio this afternoon. There were costumes and baked goods and lots of candy corn and loud disco music. I dressed as a cool art student; can you find me?
