rainy day number 2...i am as soggy as a seahorse

today's rain is even worse than yesterday's. the hog river on campus is seriously overflowing...walking by it sounds like a legit waterfall or something. today is the kind of day where you need to change your jeans once or twice to a dry pair because the rain just soaks every inch of you. thank goodness my sister sold me her unwanted rainboots on sunday....i would have insanely soggy feet if i did not have them.

tomorrow after that is zumba in konover at 7:30pm, and i've really been wanting to try zumba for a long time...hopefully it would only be an hour long because i have to make clay with hailey at 9pm.....yikes tomorrow might be more jam-packed than i had intended! ceramics is getting fun again, especially since i have the thumbs-up from matt to create extra bowls/mugs and etc. in my spare time to get fired....hopefully i will be able to put them all in the soda fire. i believe a soda fire kind of gets the same unexpected results as a wood fire, where the flames leave marks and can make your clay even look metallic....i just glazed a bunch of my mugs today..let's hope they come out better than the bowls, because on the insides of everyones' bowls a lot of the glaze shrunk and revealed a lot of bare clay, which isn't stupendously good to eat out of...

tomorrow i get to register for classes! i am really excited about my schedule....i will post my classes tomorrow once i have signed up for them.

thursday we have an illustration department field trip to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA as well as to the Clark Art Museum. i'm excited to go and be with the illustration kids, everyone's pretty nice. then my dad will come pick me up after i get back on campus because i need to go home for easter weekend! we are having easter at our house, so there is a lot of preparation needed, especially making sure the house looks neat and tidy. that will probably be my job haha...

bye bye,
allie
