Back at college

Yesterday was the first day of Ceramics class! I'm really stoked. I'm the "Glaze Master" of the class, so I'm looking forward to helping the students. Once again there's a lot of girls, but it's kind of always like that. 4 out of 5 of the ceramic veterans came, me included. I sure hope our last guy shows up next time. 

I really wish I had taken photos, but I'm a dumbass.

Basically I took 10 pinch pots left over from last semester, filled in all the cracks with slip, and then took my favorite tool to flatten the tops and even out the sides. I had 25 min left when I finished, and I really didn't want to start something new only to have to put it down soon. I just chilled for the rest of class.

Today was also my dad's birthday. We went out to a local Japanese restaurant, and it was pretty good! We're on a search to find a Japanese place that's as good as the one we used to go to before the move. (It's too far now.) I think this is a contender. The only thing that was so weird was that they kept blasting Spanish music. It felt really out of place.

Didn't do anything of note tonight. Dealing with a headache, my sinuses are burning, my eyes are light-sensitive... I'm still a mess of epic proportions. Hopefully I'll be feeling well today and finally get around to finishing the cat.

Oh, and I found out that you're not really supposed to keep grow lights on 24/7... plants need a day/night cycle just like animals. Whoops. Well, I haven't seen any bad effects so far, so I think my plants are safe. Maybe they'll grow faster with it off at night, who knows.
