Part I: The last thing I made was a (still in progress) study guide for my Principles of Advertising class. So far I’ve just used our text, Glimmer by Warren Berger. Not gonna lie, I didn’t do the readings we were supposed to do, so now I am rushing to catch up. Thankfully this book is SO GOOD. It examines the key principles of design and how it can be used in transformative ways. It’s… dare I say it? Inspiring. I tend to think of myself as a problem solver, or at least someone who likes thinking up ways to solve problems. So reading about all these people who have solved various problems from the design of prescription bottles to the way kids hold their toothbrushes, is incredibly fascinating to me.

Part II: I really want to make more crocheted things. I love crocheting, but I don’t do it very much because I get distracted and just forget about it. BUT! There is a group on campus called Bitchcraft that meets weekly to do crafty things. I’ve heard it’s really fun and people can just hang out and do their thing together. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since last year, but I just never did. However, since I’m setting goals and manifesting for next year, I am going to set a goal to go to Bitchcraft at least twice a month next year. Hooray!
