Had friendship lunch at Tip Top with Ian and Theresa. It was a cold, brisk walk there and back.
Had a difficult time concentrating in Portfolio. I tried to sneak out halfway through but realized I’d get in trouble so instead I talked to Luke about relational database architecture. Very little actual work was done.
Forgot my bag lunch on wednesday morning so I ended up fasting most of the day. Did unexciting, uneventful Thurber-House-related things in Branding on wednesday morning.
Watched The Piano this week in History of Cinema. I’d have liked it better if the main character had been successful in killing herself.
Wednesday night, I drove back downtown to go to dinner with Joe Finocchiaro, visiting lecturer on typography. We had a fancy dinner at Latitude 41 on the school’s dime (I had a delicious green salad and scallops and risotto and bread pudding), learned details about Mr. Mohr’s courtship, discussed senior thesis ideas, and pretended the CCAD short bus were a limousine. Joe and I bonded over a mutual admiration for Meryl Streep. I got a speeding ticket on my way home at 11pm. What a school night!
Thursday was a long, delightful jumble. I got a loaf of bread from Kate in Jewelry, then I did enamel stuff for the rest of class. I spent lunch at the sink polishing enamel with an alundum stone under running water.
Had one of those beautiful afternoons of six-hour, back-to-back Senior Ad and Portfolio where I didn’t get anything done. I am basically incapable of doing work in-class when I am surrounded by friends to talk to.
Used every spare minute to work on big brand, an expansive graphic design project for Senior Ad. It is consuming most of my waking hours, and a lot of my sleeping hours, too!
