well at first it was like this:: i decided to take 2 classes (thats the max limit for wintersession classes) - ceramics & a class called mutable past (a history class) so that i could get 6 credits out of the way.. however.. i didn't realize how hard taking 1 class would be because its like fitting 1 semester in 6 weeks.. and history is not easy to fit in 6 weeks when normally it should be expanded over a period of 12 weeks.. that was a bad choice.. eventually though i dropped the class and i focused on ceramics..
ceramics is pretty fun.. i liked it a lot.. except it definitely was a lot of work.. but since its only 1 class for 6 weeks.. doesn't sound too bad right? no.. its a lot of work.. 30 cylinders for the first night, 10 mugs with handles for the first homework, 8 bowls (4 that are a set) & 12 plates (also 4 that are a set) for another week's homework, and finally our final project.. on page it doesn't seem too bad.. but making it takes a long time.. longer than i thought but i got through it and now after glazing, i've finished on friday and am now waiting for the final project to come out of the kiln.. hopefully they'll be okay.. do you want one? haha ☺ *charles i got your mug no worries ☺*
but what i've learned with ceramics is that its a lot harder than you think.. i've now got a bad knee because of it.. but its okay, it was worth it~ i've learned i really need to be patient because you have to let time do its thing while your project's molecules are equalizing to become sturdy and usable for something else
so i learned a lot, and can't wait to be home in 4 days!
see you soon! ★ 찜질방 time! ♨
