More school stuff
Sep. 16th, 2025 11:35 pmBig project for Intro to Human Services: History project (5 to 7 minute presentation, needs visual aid(s)); can work in groups of up to three. I'm working solo, and my project is on the history of the ADA. It's due Monday the 22nd, aaaaand I haven't really done a lot yet 😑 On the plus side, no homework next week?
No big project for Social Problems! I just gotta read another textbook chapter, originally by Thursday but now possibly not until Tuesday. (I may try for Thursday anyway.) No Asynchronous Course Materials this week, because last week's was two-and-a-half hours long.
Big project for Ceramics: Two coil-and-pinch projects due for bisque (initial, pre-glaze) firing by end of day Friday. I've got one finished, and have only barely started the second. To be fair, I tried starting the second twice already, and had to scrap it both times, because I just kept pinching the bowl larger when I was trying to smooth the coils together. And then yesterday, though I finished cleaning up my fish (that I love and can't wait to share), we did some practice of taking stuff out of the kiln, and that ate up some class time I would have otherwise used to work on my bowl.
Our next class period, tomorrow, will be dedicated to Raku firing our test pieces, so I doubt I'll have a lot of time to work then, and will have to leave class ASAP to get to an appointment back home. So I anticipate staying late on Thursday and coming in on Friday, neither of which is an official Ceramics day, to finish my bowl.
I probably should not have slacked off quite as much as I did over the weekend, but slacking off felt so gooooood 😠Ah, well; back to work!
