2/365





Tuesdays and Thursdays are rough. I have to get up at eight AM in order to catch the bus that gets me to class on time. My class is at nine thirty, so I get there with plenty of time. So much time, that I took today's photograph in our empty classroom.  It was mildly interesting today, mostly because our professor went to Sierra Leone last week, and she gave a presentation on the research facility. At the end, she gave a pop quiz, the prizes for which were jewelry she bought at a market in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. They're beaded necklaces- the beads made of cheap plastic, like you might find in any local craft store, but the length of it is tied in a loose loop, which is how it is traditionally worn. I was pleased. 

Then, later today, I worked on my wire head-sculpture. I'm really liking it. I love this concept. It's turning into a sort of Plague doctor mask, combined with a mohawk. It's going to be amazing. I'm excited.
