Well, hell.
We were harangued by our teacher at some length this fine Monday morning about how behind we all are in our projects. She is entirely justified in this, if my progress is anything to go by. Some of my current shortcomings are as follows:
-I have missed the past 3 classes.
-I have not had a mentor meeting for the past 2 weeks.
-I am 8 (count them, 8) journal entries behind schedule.
In brief, I suck.
I hope it isn't too late to fix my grade, which is certainly abysmal at this point in time. I am certain I can fix my project, though. Here is how.
-I have missed the past two Mondays, the day when class meets and I meet with Jocelyn, once due to illness and once due to a snow day. Though it is through my own stupidity that I have not made up classwork from those Mondays, it is also fact that I was absolutely unable to meet with Jocelyn any other day, because of my job at the rink - which is now closed, and over. So now I have two more free periods every day to devote to WISE, and believe me, I will. (I met with Jocelyn today; entry to follow close upon the heels of this one.)
To prove my undying devotion to my blog, my project, and this infinitely estimable class, here is a list of journal entries I will be posting in the very near future, hopefully before the week is out (in no particular order):
1. This one
2. Mentor meeting 3/14
3. Summary of item captions from the Freer and Sackler galleries (no, I haven't forgotten!!)
4. Making things, part II: Trimming
5. Making things, part III: Burnishing
6. History of clay and early kilns (research fun!)
7. List of materials I need for firings and possible resources
8. Information gleaned from a book I have recently acquired, The Complete Potter
9. Response to readings we received in class today: "Practicing" and "Two Tramps in Mud Time"
10. Response to Hannah Amsili's 2005 WISE journal, which I also received today.
