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 (12 oct 2012)

  • Started our second project in package design. We are designing a bar of soap and its packaging.
  • Received a guided tour of Mr. Hazlerig’s soap collection, which is expansive and very smelly.
  • Got confused about an assignment and wrote a four-page paper monday morning in my package design class.
  • Narrowly made it through a “feminism and gender stereotypes” lecture in my comics class. That is all I will say about that.
  • Took home the marketing midterm, completed most of it on monday night, and turned it in tuesday afternoon.
  • Had a woman from Career Services come talk to our ad class about the Internship Fair next month. She tried to be relevant by calling herself a geek and making annoyingly-contrived self-deprecating jokes.
  • Wrote 40 company slogans for copywriting. Spent both classes talking about slogans. My head is spinning.
  • Picked up a piece of molten copper and burned the fingertips on my left hand. Ouch.
  • Got to school early to pick up a drawing from last year that Boryana had been storing in AMF.
  • Had major chill time in Burleigh’s class. Spent pretty much the whole time doing homework and chatting. It’s nice to have a little break after all the frenzy of last week’s finals.
  • Finished socks I was making for my jewelry teacher and delivered themto her. She was quite pleased!
  • Finished making my first ring. And I used the polishing machine with no major injuries!
  • Started thinking about registration, which is stressing me out a lot.
