I'm through with almost all my classes today, except for the hour or so I need to put in in the ceramics studio before I leave. I may end up coming back to campus on Thursday to put in some more time, since the woman's Bible study I was babysitting for on Thursday mornings is through, and I don't need to leave 'till around 1 for the concert and good hang-out time with Sarah and her mother, who live an hour away. That will give me some time to make at least one more piece and allow it to dry before the final bisque firing. So if I get one made today, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday, that will be three pieces this week. Next week I'll be glazing all the last pieces I got out of the previous bisque firings, and the following week I'll be glazing this week's work. I've already given away two pieces this semester, and I think the combined total of pieces I'll have (assuming I really do make three pieces this week), or have given away, by the end of the semester will be something like 12 or 15. Much progress over last semester. And all decent 'nuff pieces, too.

After my time in the studio today, I'll be driving out to the home of the other babysitter for some kids I babysit, to pick up the kids and take them to their mother's friends' home so that I can babysit all 6 kids in one place for a few hours tonight. I'll pick up pizza on my way, assuming that Meg (the mother of the first set of kids) didn't decide otherwise, and the kids and I will go outside to play by the creek and brush the horse (yay! a horse!) and whatever other activities a gorgeous day like this inspires. Meg and Dawn will get home around 9:30, and I'll go home from there, where I'll hopefully get started on cleaning some areas of my room. Then tomorrow I'll be cleaning and baking all day, with the exception of my discipleship/mentoring meeting at 1 and my house church meeting at 7. Wednesday will bring classes, and cleaning out my car if I don't get to that tomorrow, and then Thursday is the possible ceramics time and/or sleeping in, the concert, and the much anticipated hang-out time. Who needs a weekend?!?
