There is no “what I did this week” because I only went to school on monday. The rest of the week was spent in Louisville, Kentucky at Together for the Gospel, which was an encouraging, satisfying time of singing and learning and thinking.
A hymn by Joseph Stennett, published in 1791.‘It is finished,’ the Redeemer said,
And meekly bowed His dying head,
Whilst we this sentence scan,
Come, sinners, and observe the Word.
Behold the conquests of the Lord,
Complete for helpless man.Who now shall urge a second claim?
The law no longer can condemn,
Faith a release can show;
Justice itself a friend appears,
The prison house a whisper hears,
‘Loose him, and let him go.’His toil divinely finished stands,
But oh! the praise his work demands,
Careful may we attend!
Conclusion to our souls be this:
Because salvation finished is,
Our thanks shall never end.
What I did this week (5 apr 2012)
- Had a crit in figure drawing. Made fun of Boryana for moving like a breakdancer while she teaches.
- Went to see the visiting artist, who showed slides with a dim, grimy slide projector and refused to use a microphone. Interesting but annoyingly postmodern.
- Did literally no classwork during the Worst class of the week.
- Watched more of that movie in my American lit class. Another poor use of time I couldn’t help.
- Had tuesday art history class off because our teacher was sick. Spent the time on the quad with Amanda, Ian, and Dorian.
- Had another really intense, action-packed team class. Most of our discussion centered around exactly how humanoid should a siren look? It was very serious.
- Bonded with my History of fashion teacher over millinery and the sorry state of historical education at art school.
- Had wednesday completely off: my illustration teacher had to cancel class due to a family funeral.
- Gave a mini-presentation about 1950s politics with some other people in my American lit class.
- Spent all of thursday’s art history class looking at architecture, which was kind of a fun break from routine.
- Went to visit the print lab and got to talk to Kathy, which was really nice. It is good to visit places you normally don’t go.
- Did that thing in Burleigh’s class where we all sit around and talk to each other about our sketches. I ended up having a great conversation about Obamacare with Theresa and giving advice to Anna on her package design. Talked a little about my actual work, too.
- Grew to love and respect Mr. Burleigh even more than before, which I did not think was possible.
- In general: spent the whole week making plans to be gone next week. Looking forward to the break!
