Sushi!

So my day started off a little rough. Instead of sleeping in until 15 min before class, I actually got up and boiled some water to take a giant bottle of hot tea to class today to warm me up. I also ate a little bit of breakfast and packed some snacks for in between classes, because I have 3 classes in a row (from 9:30-2:00) with a 15 min break in between each. So anyways... I go to my first class, we are dismissed early, I walk down the 3 flights of stairs and right when I reach the bottom, the top to my tea bottom pops off and sends tea bags flying. Fast forward 15 min and I'm standing out in the cold because I've just locked my keys in my car. I was able to get my keys back without much of a fuss, but I was pretty upset that for some reason Karma decided to strike me down today.

After my classes, I decided to venture over to the art building to glance at the ceramics exhibit. I guess my visit inspired me, so when I got home I decided to pull out my clay and begin experimenting. Sushi is something that generally puts me in a good mood no matter what, so I decided to make a mini sushi set. Sounds easy, but as I have stated before, there are many steps involved in making miniature food, and if you don't do it just right, your sushi can come out looking like a turd.

Thankfully, I paced myself and made, what I think, is a successful mini sushi set.

The rolls may be a little misshapen, but sushi is very squishy (and so is clay!)
