Well, another day, and ahhhh...I think perhaps I know what I will write my common App essay about. Seriously, though, the questions are like the state writing tasks. The stupid ones where if you don't think about people who have influenced you, etc. you have problems. I was always one of those kids. Oh well. Today I trimmed a pot/bowl. Yeah, pretty much. I was really careful, and spent like an hour (which I tend to do on trimming), and then of course, I still didn't trim enough right at the bottom of the curve. The exact same thing I did during the school year. I have yet to actually recenter the pot and trim it really well. But at least I don't trim holes in the bottom. Of course, it makes for relatively heavy pots...oh, and i have an excuse, I was too shy to ask somone to hold the bat for me yesterday when I threw the pot, so it's shape was a little morphed when i forgot to put water on the bat and i flattened the pot a but. Trimming eliptical pots sucks. Oh, and i don't particularly like electrical wheels, and i don't want to learn how to throw on a bat on a wheel that doesn't have the bolt things for it, so i don't. So there.
Oh, Sarah, did you know you can hear a metronome at the beginning of "Family Tree" if you listen really hard (and/or turn it up really loud?)
