This week, I went to most of the advancement to candidacy presentations for the second year MFA graduates. ATCs are basically the thesis defense for MFA graduates in this school, as there is no post thesis show defense, only a presentation of the work. Most of the ATC candidates gave a thorough presentation, however I wasn't courageous enough to challenge those candidates I didn't think were addressing important flaws in their work.
Early in the week, Eric Paulos from Intel Berkley labs came to speak to CADRE about their research and work. Their projects blur the lines between research, art and applicational software. Urban Atmospheres. Good stuff.
I got Rebecca an early birthday present. I would have liked to give it to her on her birthday, but I am 100% incompetent with rebate forms, so I had to give it to her before the rebate was due on the 10th. I only learned after she opened it, looked at the forms and told me that it wasn't due until May 10th. Again, do I need to reiterate that I am completely incompetent with rebate forms?
While I was at the store, Rebecca went to a baby shower for one of our friends. She told me that the games they played weren't as bad/painful as most baby showers she has been to. While she was out, I took care of cleaning the house and doing a bit of shopping. At the last minute, our printer ink cartridge died and I had to pick up one before we wrote/printed our talks for Sunday.
Easter day was pleasant, although this is the first time in a while we haven't had other people over for our Easter dinner. So we made too much food and have been using it for lunches and dinners all week. Our talks in church went well and Rebecca wasn't terribly nervous.
That's really all we did. I guess we were taking it easy since things were so busy last week.
