Apparently sitting at a desk day in and day out is bad for you. I never really liked working in an office mainly because it was boring, but I realize now that all I did was move my fingers for 8-10 hours a day. Now that I am walking to class, carrying fifty pound blobs of clay, mixing several hundred pound batches of clay and operating heavy machinery, I realize just how out of shape I am. Every muscle in my body hurts every day.
My first assignment in ceramics is to make a chess set and 12 objects under 9" tall. Today I made enough chess pieces for two chess sets. Did you know that there are 32 pieces in a chess set, not including the board? I have over 64 pieces laying on the shelf in the studio. I think I got a little carried away with the extruder.
My first assignment in Jewelry is to make 5 rings by February 14th that relate to myself and society. Why oh why do we have to do and think? I can handle doing, but thinking.
I am off to bed so that I can get up early tomorrow and get back to the studio. This is so much fun!

I was going to leave you comments on your book blog but it doesn't allow anonymous comments!
ACK!
(and there are some divine new musical releases that are dying to be purchased by me with your money)
Looks like you are going to have to suffer for your art.
