I really do mean to start writing in this again ( Read more... )

Hmmm, I'm working on this grad school thing. I'm really looking at Ohio University a lot, although I know I should look at some of the Michigan schools perhaps as second options and cheaper education. The problem with the Michigan schools is, I don't think they really have much in the way of ceramics programs. The one thing I really don't want ( Read more... )

After doing a little job searching last night and making myself completely miserable, I'm starting to think using this down time to apply to grad schools might be a good idea. Now would be the time to do it anyway and I actually have the time to devote to it. I never have the time or energy when the day's over to look for schools when I'm working ( Read more... )

Part of the reason I feel like writing again is that I'm finally de-stressed from classes. I graduated last spring, and it took this long to lose that complete lack of motivation. Wow, that's some great college, there ( Read more... )

It's been close to a year since I wrote in this thing, and I've been meaning to pick it up again for a few months now. Tonight seems like as good a time as any ( Read more... )

These are from the litho studio, since everything's being moved in a couple weeks to the new building and there are new things and nobody else wants them. I've also been scavenging a load of paper out of the recycle. These ( Read more... )

Wow, it's time to figure out how many holiday not-cards-but-clay things I'm sending out this year, so if you want a winter holiday clay thing, note this entry with your address! I'll leave it so only I can see the notes.

I built a playstand for my birdies over the last month, so now for the first time in years, they can be out and with me instead of exiled to my room! I just have to get past this independent streak my lovebird, Peachy, has and get him to quit trying to visit the budgie, although it's going much better now that Mauki's down here too. I had really ( Read more... )
