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 (6 dec 2013)

  • I spent all of tuesday morning’s jewelry class participating in long-winded, open-ended fine art critiques—a thing I am not accustomed to and do not enjoy.
  • Went crazy trying to prepare my work to submit to the American Advertising Awards. Thankfully, Mr. Lutz left very detailed notes. Printing and organizing documents consumed most of Senior Ad.
  • For my last class of tuesday, industry professionals visited our Portfolio class to review our books. I got some good advice from Aschenbrand, which was a great, exciting thing.
  • Wednesday was long: I started out with Brand and Market Development: uneventful, long, dull. Then, I did a little homework in the library during my lunch break, followed by History of Cinema, where we watched The Hurt Locker. I did not enjoy the film, but this may be due to the fact that I had a rat’s nest of yarn on my lap which I was trying to untangle in the dark auditorium.
  • After Cinema, I headed to the jewelry lab and worked on my tea infuser project for a few hours, injuring myself with a burr in the process. At least the first aid kit had bandages this time…
  • I finished out wednesday with yet another portfolio review thing at 7pm. Illustration and photo majors were supposed to join us and mingle, but very few of them showed up, so I ended up hanging out with friends.
  • Thursday morning in jewelry, I participated in a few more critiques, then just continued to work on my final project and chatted with friends.
  • Went sheet music shopping during my lunch break, then had a short Senior Ad class.
  • Drove back down to school at 9:30pm to hear Jeremy Slagle speak to the Christian group on campus. Didn’t get home until after midnight. This week, man!
  • Friday, I wore pyjamas to school, because, at this point, why not? It was a raucous time.
