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.”

Tag my hand is still cramped from art history

What I did this week (8 mar 2012)

  • Drew portraits with Boryana and talked about basic frame.
  • Didn’t have any normal classes on tuesday or wednesday!
  • Got sophomore-reviewed by Matthew Mohr (who was great) and Steve Gabor (who wasn’t as great). Passed.
  • Wore my traffic-cone orange trousers and bonded with Mr. Aschenbrand, who I am growing to love.
  • Studied art history with Dana and Dorian in the Crane Café on wednesday. Prepared less than usual.
  • Took a perfunctory “liberal arts progress assessment”, which was a bureaucratic waste of time.
  • Enjoyed delightful sunny weather on wednesday and painfully rainy weather on thursday.
  • Watched clips from the 1961 A Raisin in the Sun film from YouTube instead of doing any actual classwork, causing me to question why I even showed up.
  • Took my second art history test, which was extremely fun.
  • Learned a fun fact about Mr. Burleigh, who grows cooler with every successive week.
  • Turned in my American lit midterm, which is seven pages long and full of things my teacher probably won’t agree with.
