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 sep 2013)

  • Turned in my first jewelry assignment and had a crit about it. This, plus a very drawn-out tour of the reorganized jewelry lab, took up virtually the whole class time.
  • Spent the entirety of our back-to-back 12:30–6:30pm Mohr classes actually in class. That’s a long time!
  • Had a very sweet, thoughtful portfolio review then spent the other two-plus hours of Portfolio talking to Anna, Jen, Julia, Haley, and Audrey about life. Is all of senior year going to be like this?
  • Had a dull wednesday morning in Branding, then crashed at the library to have lunch and do some work.
  • Watched Fritz Lang’s M in History of Cinema. It was great, albeit a literal pain in the butt to sit in the Canzani auditorium in the dark for so long.
  • Had a nice, laid-back thursday morning carving wax models of rings, then met my dear friend Chris for lunch at the Hills Market. A welcome diversion!
  • Enjoyed another full thursday afternoon with back-to-back Mohr, though it was hard to get any real work done. Spent most of my time chatting with friends and half-heatedly working on sketches.
  • Used the last two hours of Portfolio in the Canzani gallery listening to Vivien Goldman and Toby Mott talk about punk.
  • Had a dysfunctional friday morning Branding class; the teacher was gone pretty much the whole time and left loose-cannon Brian Spain as his deputy. We pretty much ran the class ourselves and brainstormed with giant sticky notes.
