the wheel

monday
7 february.

did slightly better perhaps with throwing pottery on the wheel. although i'm not doing a good enough job centering so that's what i need to work on.
made two pieces.

sadly the bowl i did last time caved in, but i decided to fire it anyways. why not. i'm not limited by the amount of clay, so i may as well try to make as many things as i can in my opinion.
and it's nice trying to learn a new skill.

went from there home to quickly eat a lunch and then to campus to meet with the press release lady.
she wasn't impressed.
couldn't really 'find a story'
but the problem is i need her to so that i can get participants.
i really just want to start. it's been so long.

that was frustrating and didn't really put me in a motivated mood to work on my writing.
i did some work and then went to the gym.

went to fake zumba class where there was a substitute. she was wearing a zumba top, except that didnt really make it more of a zumba thing. more aerobics. which really is fine, it's just not quite zumba. but i think it was a better aerobic workout.

from there i went to orchestra rehearsal. was a good rehearsal. chatted with charlie another oboist during the break. he seemed to be concerned with reeds. and buying good ones. he was confused that i used to make mine. the ones here are quite different than what i'm used to. but i didnt think making reeds would have been the questionable thing.

long day of activities. wish the press release thing would have been more positive ( and i havent heard back from the lady) because i need the motivation to finish this chapter. ugh.
