School again, plus...?
Oct. 24th, 2025 10:13 pmH'okay. Grades from our first Current Event Journal for Social Problems are finally in.
...I got 100%.
I'm more confident about my second CEJ than I was about my first, even with overhearing the teacher say she was planning to grade the first very liberally. Like the Asynchronous Class Notes assignments for the first third of the semester, we are assigned three of these, of which the lowest scored will ultimately be dropped from our grade.
Methinks I might indulge myself and take a zero on the final one.
After stopping by the ceramics lab this afternoon, I finished my pieces for the throwing assignment! I've got doubles of each piece, as assigned, which is more than rather a lot of my classmates can say 😓 Apparently, including the wheel in Ceramics 1 is specifically a community college thing in this state, while other institutes will have coil-and-pinch and slab stuff in Ceramics 1 and save throwing for Ceramics 2. With all the trouble my classmates are having, I can understand that! In any case, I'm glad I managed to finish my stuff. Pics soon, I hope!
Finally, I made a new mood theme! No pics as yet, as I am being lazy about it, but I'm submitting it for consideration as another official mood theme, so hopefully everyone will get to see it soon anyway 😉 I must confess that I stole an idea from someone's planning at the beginning of last year and made cloud moods. Still, I did my best to follow the official mood theme preferences to a T this time around, which meant a maximum of 30x30 pixels in size, which is tiny. I expect that someone who wanted to work with the full 100x100 pixel space, or even 50x50 pixels, would have a better time of it!
I may see about getting a basic screencap of the moods up at some point, but I'm not sure I'll be uploading all of them individually this time 😅
