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 (7 sep 2012)

  • Had Labor Day off. Spent the day on homework and knitting.
  • Spent most of tuesday morning’s ad class brainstorming words.
  • Had very laid-back time in Felton’s copywriting class during lunch. Watched tv ads by Levi’s, P&G, Apple, and Volvo.
  • Cut a little keychain out of brass in my jewelry class. Broke a lot of saw blades in the process.
  • Got to school late on thursday because of a nearby stabbing which I only learned about later. It was a pretty good excuse for being tardy, I guess.
  • Spent all of thursday’s ad class talking with my table and loafing around and knitting. Burleigh was doing individual meetings with the whole class and didn’t get around to me. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
  • Ran into Ann Shifflet, my old art history teacher, and got a chance to chat! That was lots of fun.
  • Cut a bunch of little squares of copper. We’re going to weld next tuesday.
  • Got to visit a top-secret closet in Battelle Hall where my teacher demonstrated the polishing machine to us.
