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 (9 nov 2012)

  • Drove all the way to school monday morning and realized I’d left my package design final at home. So I turned around and went to get it at 7:50am. Rush hour torment.
  • Turned in my package design final and had a crit. It went better than I was expecting, considering the embarrassingly poor craftsmanship on my final.
  • Butted heads with my “literary studies of comics” teacher. The ideological antagonism is becoming less and less bearable.
  • Stayed late after marketing on monday night to finish a video group project. If all goes well, I shouldn’t have to turn in anything else for the class.
  • Drove to school on wednesday night for a 9:30pm meeting. It was kinda fun to see all my friends late at night.
  • Turned in ad finals (our second project of the semester). Looked at everyone’s finals and wrote comments on papers. The comments were largely worthless.
  • Got a ton of work done in jewelry. I bezel-set three pieces of jade. Also I helped Amanda with her bezel-setting. I’m getting pretty good at soldering.
  • Learned how to use the hydraulic die forming machine.
  • Printed out a bunch of résumés and examples of my work and talked to companies at the Internship Fair on friday. Very thankful to be done with that.
