What I did this week (26 jan 2012)
- Drew Kelly to kick off this semester’s figure drawing class. A good beginning.
- Resumed the Worst Class of the Week, which actually wasn’t too bad this week. Just a serious waste of time.
- Complained about Sylvia Plath in my American lit class.
- Wore a bedsheet as a toga for extra credit in history of fashion. It made knitting difficult.
- Made an outfit for a Barbie using only a scrap of fabric, metal wire, nails, aluminum foil, and silver tape.
- Endured a super-long crit in my illustration class where we talked about animal drawings.
- Got my friends to wind my yarn for me during the aforementioned crit, which was fantastically good.
- Consumed giant giant giant portions of food at friendship lunch and was then really sleepy all afternoon, making it difficult to draw more animals.
- Spent a long time on the phone with Amanda agonizing over papercraft things.
- Endured torrential rain on thursday; wore my orange rain boots!
- Continued to complain about Sylvia Plath in my American lit class.
- Looked at tons and tons of great paintings in my 19th century art history class. I’m thoroughly enjoying my ability to sit in the dark, look at good paintings, talk about history, and eat elaborate brown-bagged lunches.
- Had one of those thursday afternoon classes where there is no actual teaching, only three hours of random sitting around and “working”. During which time I: talked to a bunch of classmates about my work; held an uncannily productive team meeting; almost went shopping for half-price muffins but didn’t actually; had one meaningful conversation and a bunch of silly ones; danced alone; hugged a bunch of my friends.
- Continued to knit at a furious pace.
