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 (26 apr 2012)

  • Completed the last figure drawing session of the semester. We drew Jeremy and I did not do a very good job, prompting Boryana to say all kinds of hilarious, unintentionally-harsh things about my work.
  • Went to see the “visiting artist”, Nalini Nadkarni, who seemed like a very kind but misguided person.
  • Looked at a lot of post-impressionistic paintings in 19th century art history class. We are getting very near the end of the century!
  • Did my “final presentation” for my History of fashion design class. It was a ten-minute talk on menswear between 1920–1940 and I think I bored the entire class to death.
  • Went to the sculpture lab with Amanda and Jason and helped make stuff with tools.
  • Spent the rest of wednesday in illustration working on my clay sculpture.
  • Worked in the woodshop on thursday morning and had a nice conversation about accordions with Mr. Laskowski!
  • Successfully used the scroll saw to cut out a bunch of things for our board game.
  • Watched Hitchcock’s Vertigo in my American lit class—a colossal waste of time but also a welcome diversion.
  • Had another one of those “sit at a table and crit your peers” in Burleigh’s class. It went ok.
  • Conducted several team meetings and stayed up very late and talked on the phone a lot and made many trips to various printers.
  • Worked hard on team stuff, all week, pretty much every waking minute of the day.
