The year has come to an end... it was quite the wild one. My resolution of 2014 was to enjoy the ride, exactly because I knew it was going to be crazy. Everyday in 2014 was a new adventure and it was chaotic.

2009: The Year of Growth. I focused on trying to make myself better every single day than I was the day before. I wanted to be a better me ( Read more... )

The past two weeks have been insane. I have been working on the school project mostly alone for the past few weeks. Steve, the partner, was making comments at one point saying, "$40m project and only one guy doing everything. It's incredible!" I have really enjoyed the responsibilities and possibilities that has gained me. I am hoping it continues ( Read more... )

I just realized I forgot to give my August 2014 update. Part of my series where every August of my life has been different than the August before for nearly the past decade. This one was most obviously different. A new job, a new city, a new routine. Grant got married. Sarah visited from New Haven, and at the end of the month we moved her to ( Read more... )

So I've started a new job, moved to a new city, and began a new life routine. There has been so much change. It has left me a little sedated. I feel like I have been tired the entire time. I suppose it's been an overexposure of life going on. But I haven't stressed out about it. I'm just trying to enjoy the ride. Go with the flow. Exactly what I ( Read more... )

I had meant to finish the stories that happened in Bangladesh. I never had time. That has been the story of the last few months. My life got so crunched that I never had time for me at any moment. If I wasn't doing something for school, I was surrounded by others. My social life is so much better than my first semester here, but it overwhelmed me ( Read more... )

I have been meaning to write in here since returning from our studio trip to Bangladesh, but life has been a crazy roller coaster since. We just finished out mid-reviews and are now on spring break. I initially had fantasies of spring break being one last fun adventure of grad school life. Instead, my focus has been on securing my future. I’ve ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about what I want to do this year to make myself a better me. A better life. A resolution. Recapping the previous few years of adulthood:

2009: The Year of Growth. I focused on trying to make myself better every single day than I was the day before. I wanted to be a better me.

Its the end of the year. Tomorrow Sarah flies into Houston and we celebrate the new year. This will be the first time I bring a girl home to mom since I left Houston. So that's kind of something. I think it is safe to say that overall, 2013 was not my favorite year. I wrote so seldom here. There surely was a lot more adventure. I probably overall ( Read more... )

The semester is over and I'm back in Texas celebrating Christmas. I've been feeling pretty blah lately. I was fairly excited leading up to the end of the semester with hopes and dreams of creating a project that I could be extremely proud of. Something to really use as the seminal project for my portfolio in obtaining a post-graduation job, and to ( Read more... )
