What I did this week (3 may 2013)
- Turned in my final package design project, which I spent all of three weeks on. Mr. Hazlerig gave us an insta-grade™ and I got an A, so I’m not complaining.
- Did some homework at a table with Colleen, whom I hadn’t seen in ages!
- Had friendship lunch at the Hills. It was just me and Ian this week; some of the others were at a lecture about Family Guy, which I did not attend.
- Had a White Castle-themed meltdown with my team on tuesday morning.
- Made actual in-class progress on a project in Advanced Type. There must be something in the air this time of year.
- Took my “final exam” in Draping, for which I had to drape and create a pattern by looking at an illustration. I haven’t got my grade back yet, but I’m sure I did poorly.
- Forgot to take a crucial piece of draping homework with me, causing me much duress.
- Used my charisma at the CCAD library to access their button-making machine (for White Castle purposes, of course).
- Finally heard back from Cheryl Steele about the mysterious lost draping homework. Had to invade a senior fashion crit to get my work back. On the plus side, Cheryl Steele texted me, which was practically on my bucket list.
- Got annoyed at the warm weather all week.
What I did this week (3 may 2012)
- Had the third and final crit of my figure drawing class with Boryana. I turned in three pieces that I’m pretty proud of. We drank apple juice and ate cookies and had a good time.
- Went up to the fourth floor of AMF to visit Jason Clary (my freshman painting teacher), who was just as kind and wonderful as ever.
- Had an off-site friendship lunch at The Warehouse Café, which is a cute little lunch place within walking distance from campus.
- Went to visit my friend Carolyn in her millinery class and got to meet the teacher. I’m hoping this will pay dividends for me later!
- Put the finishing touches on our board game; Met with my Kelsey and John for a last-minute team meeting.
- Finished watching Vertigo in my American lit class on tuesday morning. And then I was done…
- Had the last lecture of my 19th century art history class, which basically consisted of a ton of Rodin’s sculptures. It is sad to see it come to an end.
- Had our game-playing day in team class! M-Tabs brought in candy for us to eat, and we played board games and filled out little questionnaires. Tons of fun.
- Watched student presentations in my History of fashion class. Worked on my new fair isle sweater the whole time. It was quite a nice time.
- Did the usual thing in Illustration class, except this week our teacher brought in chocolate-chip-cookie bars and chips and salsa for us to eat! I didn’t really do illustration work in class; instead, I agonized over my finals for Burleigh.
- Spent all wednesday night doing more work on finals for Burleigh, despite the fact that they were due less than 24 hours later. This is not something I typically do, and it stressed me out a lot.
- Had a very cursory “private meeting” with my American lit teacher regarding my final project, which I have yet to begin and which is due next thursday.
- Printed, mounted, and wrapped my finals for Burleigh during my lunch break on thursday morning. I did all of this in the little couch area in Kinney where literally every other person at CCAD also had to print at the last minute.
- Ran into my 19th-century teacher and Ian and Dorian on the quad and hung out with them for a while, which was really fun.
- Had one last knit-n-crit with Burleigh. Finals turned out okay after all.
- Took a bunch of photos with teachers, which I will definitely share later!
