Out of the Studio

I spent nearly the entire week out of the studio due to illness. Of course it was the worst week to miss - being midterms and all. I was mostly upset to miss out on the annual chili bowl sale that the ceramics department runs each fall. I am a member of the ceramic department's fundraising committee, and therefor am involved in all the planning and execution stages of such an event. Normally I am there to set up, work shifts, and take down the sale - this year I spent the day worrying about our progress in bed!! There was no need for my worrying, the sale was very successful and our whole department contributed their work and time. I returned Thursday evening to prepare an installation for midterm critiques on Friday, which I would not allow myself to miss.

After some tea and good rest I am back to normal, and ready to get muddy!
