Colleges rebrand humanities majors as job-friendly 
TUCSON, Ariz. — Olivia Howe was hesitant at first to add French to her major in finance at the University of Arizona, fearing that it wouldn’t be very useful in the labor market. Then her language skills helped her land a job at the multinational technology company Siemens, which will be waiting for her when she graduates this spring. “The reason I got the job is because of my French. I didn’t see it as a practical choice, but now I do,” said Howe, who, to communicate with colleagues and clients, also plans to take up German.

Still finding a lot of joy in making these jars. The flowers are there for when times are not as bright and can be removed and replaced with a bouquet when they are.

The lids are on right now, but the happy memories cover the surface.

First full inspection of the year and the bees look happy, healthy, and growing.

This is how I stay sane with everything going on.

It is never pretty but printing in my studio/garage means surface decoration time is close. I'm so behind but everything will be OK.

A quick cup of the last high fire soda at Acline Studios in Lake City. Speedball underglaze takes soda really well.

I'll be leading the first low fire soda at that same kiln in a few weeks. I can't wait for those artist to see the surfaces that come out

The semester is starting and I'm really trying to keep a positive mindset during my commute. I teach at 8am only because it is ceramics.
