Present Joys

• Had an offsite friendship lunch which was an extremely nice change-of-pace.
• Enjoyed another productive, encouraging independent study meeting. Concerning my color palette and page wireframe, Lutz said “I think you’re done!” That .
• Stayed late after Marketing to work on our “team project”. We took about an hour and finished the whole thing.
• On tuesday (my birthday), brought frosted sugar cookies to school. Gave a special sprinkle-laden cookie to John, my birthday twin.
• Finished my first bezel-set ring. Polished it repeatedly.
• Tracked down CCAD’s chair of Fashion Design and got signed into two fashion classes for next semester. A real boon!
• After jewelry, went to the North Market for some delicious Polish food with Jason and Amanda. They paid for my meal! and the woman serving us gave me a free extra birthday-portion!
• Drove to school at 9:30pm for a super-late meeting about a pop-up store thing that will be materializing later this semester. I did it mostly for M-Tabs. More on that as things unfold.
• On thursday, made actual progress in ad class. We are supposed to generate ad comps over the weekend.
• Had a nice, reassuring conversation with Mr. Felton about my copywriting skills.

Today was my birthday. After school, I went to Hubert’s Polish Kitchen with Jason and Amanda and ate a ton of good food.

i keep having a thing that is me watching a million videos of people on waterslides. this is the third time it has happened in the past couple months and i’m confused and worried

• Had a very very good independent study meeting with Mr. Lutz, during which he also helped me brainstorm for my ad project.
• Passed the midterm point in Marketing, which means the lectures are shorter and more laid-back. That is nice.
• Spent a highly unnecessary amount of time discussing résumés.
• Finished the planar ring I was making, polished it one more time for good measure, and turned it in!
• Worked at Sew to Speak on wednesday afternoon, which was kinda weird to do in the middle of the week. (But it was very nice, too!)
• Combined our ad class with Mr. Lutz’ next-door class. Lutz and Burleigh both drew on the board at once and we generated a giant mind map about Coleman camping gear. It was extremely fun to be with a bunch of people I enjoy and to do mind mapping like old times.
• Saw Jason Clary teaching perspective drawing on the quad. He has an even bigger beard than he used to, and he is as great as ever.
• Experimented with different copper patinas. None of them worked satisfactorily. I’ll polish instead.
• Did lots of homework. I am very busy.
