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 (18 oct 2013)

  • Experienced a little bit of culture shock after being away last week. I was pretty out of it on tuesday morning. Spent most of jewelry class this week listening to presentations about new project. Tried to do some caning which ended up really poorly.
  • Upon returning to Senior Ad after lunch on tuesday, Mr. Mohr asked us to give an impromptu presentation on our 14minnikids trip. (This seemed to be in poor taste. Coming back to school is hard.)
  • Had a very dysfunctional wednesday morning in Branding. We are technically starting a new project but we aren’t finished with the first one and no one is making any good work.
  • Ate wednesday lunch alone in the library while studying for a History of Cinema midterm (for which I was woefully underprepared). Then, I went to class, took the test, and went back to the library to get some more work done.
  • Had a few hours of free time late wednesday afternoon and spent it with Andrew and Max figuring out drum parts for my band’s new album. Then, I drove straight back to school for a Portfolio Social, where the entire senior ad class squeezed into two small classrooms and reviewed each other’s portfolios. Chaos.
  • Had presentation-filled jewelry class, ate lunch alone. In Senior Ad, started working on new project and chatted with friends.
  • Skipped class on friday morning to record with my band. Well, I technically didn’t even skip because Jim Johnson ended up canceling class!

What I did this week (1 mar 2013)

  • Spent monday morning pouring more plastic. If that sounds exactly like last week, that’s because our teacher has given us no due date for the current project and we’re all stuck in a time warp.
  • Discovered that the new Crane Café barista lives in the same apartment building as Jason; started making plans with Amanda to induce romance.
  • Got out of advanced type 40 minutes early on tuesday because Mr. Burleigh misplaced all the files for our new project. I used the extra time to prepare for my ominous draping midterm.
  • Took my draping midterm, which was not actually a midterm but instead an intense two-hour timeframe during which I had to interpret a dress from a randomly-selected illustration and create it on a dress form. It was a fun-yet-physically exhausting experience.
  • Almost went to Wendy’s during thursday morning’s ad class, but didn’t.
  • Despite not making a Wendy’s run, killed lots of time with Amanda and Jason during ad.
  • Used the microwave in the student lounge—a thing I don’t typically do—and talked to a friend I don’t typically see. Ended up missing the first fifteen minutes of advanced type, but nobody seemed to mind.
  • Had an “ice cream frozen yogurt social” at my OhioHealth internship, celebrating ten years.
  • Finished the week by having a very nice meeting with Mr. Mohr about fall classes.
