Monday was the first day of the fall semester at the university. I went up there to talk to my friend and former co-professor. I know it was strange in a way to be there not teaching but, I did extend greetings and assistance to any of my former students that happened my way. I still have some raku I’d like to complete this fall.

The main thing I did today was continue working on my public art proposal. I wish there was more time but, there isn’t. I don’t feel confidant in my proposal at the moment and, I’m not sure I will once I submit it. As I redesign it and redesign it again, I’m hoping to feel settled about its direction. I thought it was looking okay this evening until I got this wild idea that I was looking at a design for a swimming pool interior. “No, not that!” Another tweak here and there. Tomorrow, I have to send off the “drawings” I have to email the concrete manufacturer to have them work up an estimate. I’m really grateful they’re doing this for me but, it means they’ll get some work if accepted. Two of my friends are featured in the catalog materials so, that give them an edge.

I have to make 12 copies of my documentation. Talk about a process, this is one.
