First week of classes were okay. Most of the courses I am taking are just to fill up time and get my general education requirements. I really like the one architecture class I have though. The teacher is an excellent speaker and really gets your attention. I'm also taking a 6th grade science class, so all those at OCC shouldn't feel to bad, because ( Read more... )

I got back from Colorado last night and had to move all my furniture back, wash the pesticide off my sheets and unpack my car. I was exhausted. Eight hours in a car then a crap load of stuff to do, but I'm back and all settled in. Classes start Tuesday and I'm glad, because I was getting bored just sitting around all day ( Read more... )

I figured it's time to update. Christmas has come and gone. Good times. I was glad to see my extended family and it made me happy that they were all interested in what I was learning in school. I showed them the model I brought home and that were all really impressed. The only problem was I haven't had and Architectural lecture courses yet, so when ( Read more... )

I drank nearly every weekend in college, didn't pay attention in two of my classes, and met a ton of people. What do I have to show for it? A severe lack of sleep, perfect attendence, and straight A's! I just checked my grade on-line and I got three A's and two A-'s, which talleies up to be a 3.87 GPA. I'm very happy, because I honestly thought I ( Read more... )

I got in at 2:00 yesterday. The drive back wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Addie talked a lot which kept me alert and made the time go by faster. I also was going 100 mph for a good portion of the trip. I was a bit nervous to drive when I was woken up by my alarm, because I had only had three hours of sleep and the hang over hadn't gone ( Read more... )

And thus concludes my first semester in college. I can't believe it's already over, well except for a math final I have tomorrow. So much has happened in the past sixteen weeks. I feel like I've lost a lot of my innocense and yet I still feel like I'm not an adult. I want to be an adult, but I know I'm not. I still make dumb decisions in the sake ( Read more... )

And the grand total averages out to be: 100 hours in two weeks. Yes that is how many hours it took to complete my final project for studio. Two all nighters and many late nights later though, I am finally done. This past week a lived in the Architecture building. If I wasn't in class, sleeping, or at Aikido, I was in the Architecture building. The ( Read more... )

Tuesday night I stayed up all night working on my project for studio. I went in to the architecture building at 7:00 PM, I left at 8:00 AM to wash up and grab some coffee, and went back to the Arch building to meet my sustainable cities group for our final project at 9:30. During this time some wonderful prankster thought it funny to steel my bike ( Read more... )

Oh my god there is only two more weeks before our final project is due in studio and it's freaking nuts. So nuts that I actually had to change my flight back from Sunday to Saturday. I wish I could take my work home with me, but unfortunately I don't want to carry a 30" by 40" drafting board on a plane. I'm bring my laptop back to work on some ( Read more... )

Three day weekends lose their signifigence when you have three day weekend every week. However, it did push the partying up a night. I played beer pong on Thursday and then went to a studio party on Friday. Joey was here Thursday and played beer pong with us. I missed Joey, he's so fun and has such a great personality. I can't wait to party with ( Read more... )
