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 (30 nov 2012)

  • Had a generally tough time getting back in the swing after Thanksgiving!
  • Called off my independent study meeting and felt bad about it all day… doing independent study is quite a lot of stress!
  • Had a legitimate breakdown in jewelry on tuesday after realizing I needed to make 20 rivets and having nothing go right.
  • Made a lot of trips to the CCAD library, who had new reserve books for me pretty much every day!
  • Snuck a metal file home to work on my jewelry project, which is a big, jangly necklace. Got it fixed up well enough to turn it in on thursday. Phew.
  • Spent all week and weekend working on an eight page paper for my graphic novels class, which is extremely unenjoyable.

Some drawings from the same pose in figure drawing class! I finished the full pose and a portrait so in the last 20 minutes of class I drew him as a vampire haha

This does beg the question: Why is Bob naked when he reads?

And I LOVE vampire Bob. Colleen is my art rival for a reason. 

BOB BOB BOB BOB BOB. CCAD’s greatest model.

What I did this week (Thanksgiving edition)

  • Had thanksgiving lunch with a giant group of friends at the CCAD Family Thanksgiving feast. My favorite lunch of the whole year.
  • Worked all alone during my break on monday afternoon. Had a last-minute burst of inspiration for my ad final (due tuesday morning). Redid a large chunk of it!
  • Had a very fun time in my tuesday ad class. Turned in my finals, gave a little presentation, and relaxed.
  • Had an equally-nice time turning in homework for my copywriting class. It was very laid-back.
  • Went to another job interview, this time on the 31st floor of a downtown high-rise.
  • Did a ton of wonderful things (sewing, knitting, working, playing accordion) over Thanksgiving break. And not a lot of homework.
