TGIT

I will be brief. I need to practice brevity. Tried to color my hair burgundy and made more of a mess than anything. This is Fine. Slideshow presentation day and neither of Gabe's team partners came to class. Fortunately, I had finished it the other day, so that he could get credit for his pages he worked on with me. I just added a few more stats and a couple graphs and charts for visuals. I need to spend some time sitting with him and teaching him how to use the software (mostly Google suite stuff) so he has more independence and competence for future classes.   Honestly, I need a lot more practice with it too, and there are both pluses and minuses in trying to teach something that you aren't competent in yourself.
Ceramics class was cool because I found out where the kick wheel splash guard was stored, trimmed the bottom of the dish student made and got to help a few kids with some tips for throwing pots, which I hesitantly shared, because of my inexperience, but I tried to sound confident anyway. I'm going to try and go after school soon to practice throwing again because I really, really want to leave this class with a few mugs and plates/bowls. I still intend to pay the materials fee but need to wait till payday. The best thing was picking up my finished pyramids. They look pretty cool. Glazing improves clay pieces the way matting and framing improves drawings.
In last class, I helped the teacher by cutting some railroad board for her other art class. Gotta remember to pick up/pay for the hoodie that Emilia told me via email was ready. I didn't even know if it was a size they had available, so that's a cool surprise. PEACE.
