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 (18 apr 2013)

  • Worked on marble packaging in package design. Everything is due two mondays from now and it’s really starting to get tough.
  • Skipped friendship lunch to hear Fran Yoshioka give a presentation about trend forecasting. Went home and wrote a two-page paper about the talk for Cheryl Steele, whose homework-assigning knows no limit.
  • Stressed out in Draping trying to work on my final garment. It’s the most mentally taxing class I’m taking, and it’s an elective I had to get special permission to take. But it’s simultaneously so much fun!
  • Got into a big argument about the color black with the fashion majors in my Draping class. (Because I think black is disgusting.)
  • Had a very laid-back thursday morning. Jason was absent from our White Castle team, so me and Amanda talked for an hour and then she went home to work.
  • Took thursday afternoon off of my internship to participate in a very worthless internship presentation thing. I sat in a room with eleven other random students who had also done internships; we all gave five-minute presentations about our experiences. At least it’s done.
  • Spent two more hours in the fashion lab on thursday afternoon working on my final garment for Draping.
