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.

Participated in a figure drawing crit and ate Chips Ahoy and didn’t sing that Hold Steady song aloud the whole time.
Gave a presentation on Dorothea Lange in my photo class and apparently tripped over my words.
Finished up my ad team’s project and presented the final (and seemed to do ok with it).
Got sorted into new teams for the next project and ended up with Colleen again.
Took photos with pinhole cameras, which was surprisingly tedious but also surprisingly rewarding.
Hid in the doorway of the darkroom and scared people as they went in and out.
Tried to eat a pizza Lunchables in my science class and made a big mess.
Mourned and mourned and mourned the loss of Steve Jobs with Amanda, who is a lot like I am.
Enjoyed Mark Burleigh more than ever.

Took an in-person test for my online Anthropology class. Missed monday’s friendship lunch, which was a bummer.
Spent a bunch of time on the phone with Colleen, working on ad stuff.
Took part in a legendary crit in my team ad class and, in the words of a friend, “ripped some kids’ work apart”. Kindly.
Went to another concert.
Had some cool conversations about the Bible, prompted by an unsavory protester on campus.
Spent pretty much every waking hour working on my team ad project.
Took a bunch of weird routes to and from school, trying unsuccessfully to avoid road work.
Got angry about student government and the biodegradable soup containers they are forcing upon me. Still angry.
Got a chance to catch up with my art history teacher, which was great.
Spent extra time at school on friday morning printing, mounting, and wrapping with my team.
Worked really hard to get my “12-hour drawing” finished for my figure drawing class.

Saw Jeremy for the first time since spring and did an ink-wash of him. (The man has lost weight!)
Went on a field trip with my science class to look at/smell/touch cadavers.
Stuck my ad team’s semi-comps onto foam core boards for presentation; was derided as a kiss-up.
Spent a good hour and a half during a lull in my ad class taking an exhaustive “Which Hogwarts house are you?” quiz, but still can’t decide whether I’m Ravenclaw or Slytherin.
Went to a stellar concert and still managed to get my homework done.
Painted a watercolor self-portrait in illustration class and felt ashamed for having cheapo paper.
Shot an entire roll of film in the span of three hours, and recorded boring details about each shot.
Processed the negatives and discovered that they actually look pretty good.
Took my first science test and seemed to do pretty well on it.

Broke my tiny french press, which was already crazy-glued and on its last leg.
Did a “lab” in my science class and felt nostalgia for the public school I was never in.
Developed more photos in the darkroom all by myself.
