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 (8 mar 2013)

  • Registered for the fall 2013 semester monday morning at midnight. Wow.
  • Had a pretty laid-back week. Killed more time in monday morning’s package design. Uneventful as always.
  • Didn’t have any normal classes on tuesday or wednesday because of sophomore review, which, thankfully, I didn’t have anything to do with this year.
  • Instead of going to class on tuesday, I worked a long day at OhioHealth and took wednesday off for homework.
  • Had a very fun thursday. Split a cheese danish with Amanda that Jason bought us.
  • Checked out some library books and was called “one of our best patrons” by the school librarian. Rock’n’roll.
  • Spent lots of time talking to my bff Amanda on the phone.
  • Got unnecessarily upset about a dumb flyer a fellow student had posted all over campus. But that’s ok, because if I didn’t get unnecessarily upset, I wouldn’t be myself!
  • Visited my jewelry teacher thursday afternoon and had a very nice time catching up.
  • Drove straight from school to Riverside Hospital, where I art-directed a photoshoot for a colorectal cancer awareness ad campaign I’m working on with my internship. What a weird week.

What I did this week (29 mar 2012)

  • Stayed up late sunday night to register for classes; had some problems with my account and didn’t get into a bunch of stuff.
  • Spent most of monday trying to fix registration. Also: tuesday, wednesday, and thursday.
  • Skipped the visiting “artist” (read: contemporary poet) lecture and had a good old-fashioned friendship lunch.
  • Left my laptop at home on tuesday morning and had to go the whole day without it. It was difficult, but my bag was definitely easier to carry around.
  • Looked at paintings by the Pre-Raphaelites in my 19th century art history class, which was, as you can imagine, super great.
  • Talked to Julie Taggart, who turns out to be pretty cool. Even though she crushed my dreams of taking a screenprinting class with Dana in the fall.
  • Used all three hours of my team ad class to talk about board games in great depth. It was intense and helpful and headache-inducing and great all at once.
  • Spent of wednesday working in Corel Painter with a tablet. Non-messy and fun.
  • Was compared to Richard Aschenbrand and Artie Isaac by two different people in the same day. I can only take that as compliments.
  • Watched some of the Revolutionary Road movie in my American lit class (it is not very good—Meryl Streep isn’t in it at all). While this was going on, I started swatching for a new, ten-color fair isle jumper.
  • Presented finals in Burleigh’s class and got info on our last project of the semester. We made a word cloud in class during which I was mocked for having no friends (in a friendly way, natch).
  • Went to visit Mr. Felton, the copywriting teacher, who graciously let me into his class. Phew.
