Heh, let me know if you start being intrigued by stuff that you consider essentially ugly but so fun to make that it’s worth it. I’m beginning to head that way a little, which is why I take that impulse out on the dishcloths.

More pictures to come! The trip was a good mix of pushing ourselves to explore and sitting back and smiling like Cheshire cats.

Comment on 500-level Practical Creativity by admin

It’s true – and I did think of that, that where the professors are may, by its nature, inhibit the kind of practical advice they can give. A lot of my college’s professors were part time, using their job there to help them get along with their real-world work; maybe they could’ve been more useful, I don’t know.

Internships are a good point – I never did one myself, although my first real job out of college kind of functioned that way. I was the office manager/everything/whatever person for a wee newspaper in Florida. It was like a terrarium of publishing issues, and a good primer on how to deal with people and balance what you must do with what you want.

Academia teach us how to live our lives outside of academia? But that would assume that they actually know the answers! Too much of academic life is designed to perpetuate the academic life and nothing else. Take a person out of a university and into the corporate world and they’ll fail nine times out of ten.

But…. there’s a great tool within the academic system. Internships! Mine definitely helped to put me on the right track — much more so than any class I ever took.

I’ve felt the same way about crochet recently. Been researching new(to me) edging and stitches along with blending yarns. I’ve just started over the last year so I’m looking forward to improving.

Your trip sounds so fun. I wanted to go through the Grand Canyon area on the way to Seattle from Atlanta but it would have taken too long. Hope to see more pictures from your trip!
