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 (13 sep 2013)

  • Started out the week with Jewelry; bought a Max Wax pen and continued working on wax ring models.
  • Had a very fun logo design crit in Portfolio, despite it being way too hot.
  • Wednesday morning: Jim Johnson Disorganized Insanity.
  • Watched the 1939 John Wayne movie Stagecoach in History of Cinema.
  • Had to stay late on wednesday night to hear visiting professionals talk about their portfolios. Got to hang out with my posse, but didn’t get home until 9:45pm. (blah.)
  • Spent all of thursday’s jewelry class figuring out how to sprue the wax rings I’d carved, then ate lunch with Marcia.
  • Used up most of thursday afternoon talking to Anna, Julia, and Theresa about their projects and trying to forget about my own. (It was a mostly-successful strategy!)
  • Friday morning: Jim Johnson Disorganized Insanity, Part 2. And then the week was finally over.

Day 11: thu, 12 sep 2013. Sharing a bag lunch with super-cool former teacher/friend/department-gossip-buddy Marcia Tabler.

Day 10: wed, 11 sep 2013. Danielle spills vitamin supplements on the classroom floor; Jim Johnson immediately jumps into position for my snapshot. A class act.
