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 (14 oct 2011)

  • Saw Nathan Greno, who is an alumnus, talk about making Tangled.
  • Wore new bright orange rain boots for the first time. Received generally positive feedback.
  • Did a chemistry lab thing in my science class and mixed vinegar with baking soda in test tubes.
  • Had an impromptu team meeting in Colleen’s top-floor dorm and spied on people with binoculars.
  • Got very good grades on finals for both my ad classes. Phew.
  • Worked really hard writing a silly paper about the Amish for my Anthropology class.
  • Went yarn shopping with Ian and Theresa and made a pit stop at Ian’s house, which was cool and weird.

Frida Kahlo is not my favorite person in the world—nor my favorite artist—but this painting is truly great. My Grandparents, My Parents, and I (Family Tree). 1936.
