What I did this week (23 feb 2012)

  • Tried drawing with my oil-based pencil and got reprimanded for it being too dull. Then Boryana sharpened it with a knife and it got really sharp.
  • Packed king cake in my lunchbag all week, which was completely fantastic.
  • Had a rough time meeting with my team because I felt so sick and kept wanting to fall asleep and die. John held things together very admirably.
  • Gladly accepted more DayQuil from Theresa, who makes a shockingly gracious drug dealer.
  • Took a history of fashion quiz. I have no clue how well I did! Time will tell.
  • Skipped wednesday’s friendship lunch because I felt so sick.
  • Got chocolate from Bob.
  • Raided the illustration department’s prop closet and took some great pictures of my friends.
  • Began feeling better on thursday and made up for lost time by talking with lots of my friends and doing a lot of stuff. Also: eating more king cake.
  • Fought with Amanda a lot, partially because I was sick and also partially because we’re both jerks. Hopefully things will be better next week.
  • Entered the home stretch for my current team project. I am preparing for a long, painful weekend of finishing this thing.

and hold on, boy,
whatever you do,
to the hope that’s
taken ahold of you”

Newly-written song lyrics by Andrew Peterson. It’s little hints of Reformed theology like this in his music that make it so beautiful and compelling.

Matisse.

We’ve had a copy of this in the living room for my entire life. The colors look better here than they do in my house, though. A beautiful creation.

A picture of me and some kids from summer camp last year, which somebody just sent to me. These girls made me a duct tape wallet with my name on it.

What I did this week (16 feb 2012)

  • Drew a model I’ve never seen before with an oil-based pencil and produced a drawing I am exceptionally happy with.
  • Got to leave the worst class of the week early because I was sick. Thanks, teach.
  • Tried to get team stuff done while one of my teammates is on a cruise in the Caribbean and not able to answer email or do any work. We are two weeks away from finals and I am stressing the heck out.
  • Was sick all week. Blew my nose on cheap CCAD toilet paper all week, which only made things worse.
  • Celebrated Valentine’s Day by eating way too many of Colleen’s candy hearts in my team class and getting a swollen tongue. I am not sorry for eating the candy, because it was delicious and holiday-appropriate.
  • Got some DayQuil from Theresa, who is a good friend to me.
  • Turned in the final for my illustration project, which was mounted using the cheapskate mounting method. I guess you could say I haven’t yet learned my lesson.
  • Discovered that the frivolous parking ticket fee had been revoked. I am still grumpy that the whole incident ever occurred.
  • Spilled a plate of tomato sauce all over my lap at lunch and went around all wednesday afternoon smelling like spaghetti.
  • Got a packet of Emergen-C from Jason and used it on the spot. I didn’t have a water bottle, so I had to put the powder into a 1oz disposable mouthwash cup from Mr. Mahan’s office. And I had to stir it with my knitting needle. Despite this, I was able to drink it and strengthen my immune system!
  • Did not plan ahead for Burleigh’s final project and had to print, cut, and assemble the thing thursday morning by the printers in Kinney.
  • Talked about Flannery O’Connor in my American lit class! Enough said!
  • Had another great knit-n-crit with Burleigh, going over our finals! Used the cheapskate mounting method for a second time this week.
  • Almost finished a whole sock.
