Pot

Nothing too fancy, but I like it. Straight across from the wheel, typical observer point of view This is more from the point of view as I see a piece when it is on the wheel. The splash pan is visible in this shot, I am a little messy, but I have seen worse. This […]

Wrapping Up My First Year of College

I have only 3 more lectures left in my MWF classes, and only one left for my Thursday class (Plato). That means I have 3 hours left with each course. I have changed a lot in some aspects since August 2004, but in some ways, not at all. I have rejoined some old hobbies, and […]

I originally wanted to take some courses for my own interests, but now that I am looking at that idea I have determined […]
