Alright. Here are my projects thus far this semester. It has been a little wild and exhausting. This class, Interior design, and Mechanical Systems take up 75% if not more of my time. They are full of research, project submittals, project re-submittals, harsh critiques, loss of money and sleep...etc. Apparition Aisle wasn't too bad, but this Kitchen was another story. Let me quickly explain some of the experiences I had with it. Jessica and Beau were my clients. I know that this doesn't exactly have Beau and Jessica written all over it, but my teacher pretty much told me that the clients I chose were boring (he tells me I am boring all the time though, so... it's not just the Englands) Anyway, so I decided that it should have some influences of Pop Art (which my teacher said there was not enough of). I stayed up till 3 about every night this week working on this thing and another Mechanical Systems project that was due this week. I flubbed on a lighting presentation because I was working on this project - embarrassing. Then, I did not sleep Wednesday or Thursday night, but stayed at school for this. YES that is 48hrs of no sleep - you should try it some time. I watched 6 girls cry because they were doing the same thing as me. Then I cried because the computer was slow and I needed to work faster. I paid $150 to have these boards printed and just about shot myself for thinking printing at Kinkos might be better than printing at the school where it would have been about $45 to print. Never again. Then I presented for about 15 minutes, took my boards down. Went home Friday at 5:30 and hit the sack. I woke up this morning at 3 because my sleeping schedule is messed now. I am doing good though, and I will cry happy tears when this semester is over. (oh and my legs are finally not hairy and I am going to have a mani/pedi today.)
Reggie and I set up his tent in the living room and watched a movie from it. We are trying to take more pictures of the things we do even if it includes movie watching. Movie watching is the best although I fall asleep a lot. It doesn't matter what time we are watching a movie. This was actually really fun watching The Man from Snowy River from a tent.
I learned how to belay. Here I am belaying Reggie. His life is in my hands although he did not slip once on this climb! We had such a great memorial weekend because Reggie set his studies aside for three days.
I am almost there to the top! Look close and you'll see me. I complained the whole time I climbed but I did love it.
This was a girls trip to Tai Pan in St. George. I was surprised that this store was as fun as it was. There were eight of us and each of us filled a shopping cart. The fun part of this trip was packing the car to go home! Aubrey was an amazing packer. It was a miracle we were able to fit all of our bodies and our purchases into the car.
