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 (10 may 2012)

  • Had a little end-of-semester portfolio review/meeting with Boryana. Conclusion: I am good at value and bad with line. And Boryana is spectacular.
  • Ate lunch in the cafeteria for the last time! I had one of those gross cheese quesadillas just for nostalgia’s sake.
  • Turned in my final interactive pdf for Worst class of the week. And then I was done with the worst class of the week forever.
  • Didn’t have any American lit class all week. Instead, I just spent time working on my final project.
  • Turned in my 19th century art history final (two essays) and spent the rest of my tuesday lunch break studying History of fashion notes with Amanda.
  • Had a glorious team class pizza party with M-Tabs. She brought Granville-made pizza, soda, and circus peanuts. We watched the movie Jumanji. We gave her a framed photo and she loved it. It was altogether one of the best things ever.
  • Went to History of fashion class and took a final exam. Our teacher brought us scones from Panera.
  • Went into my Illustration class at 12:30pm and picked up my work and said my goodbyes.
  • Had a very late wednesday lunch with Amanda, Jason, and Michelle at the Brown Bag Deli. I had a delicious sandwich with braunschweiger.
  • Went out to lunch on thursday with my 19th century art history teacher and her husband and some other class friends. We went to El Arepazol on Pearl Alley and had a lovely time. Dana drove all of us and I rode in the cargo area in the back of her Acura.
  • Showed up for Mr. Burleigh’s class, which actually consisted of milling around on the third floor of Crane to look at the walls and say goodbye to everyone. Mr. Burleigh was wearing a tool belt.
  • Walked with Colleen several blocks to the bank so she could pay me for our board game. It was a very nice sort of postmortem. And then we were done.
