Almost Finished

It's Sunday. The air outside is heavy with grumpy gray clouds that loom around Kent and promise rain. I am taking a breather from studio to reorganize my thoughts and concentration but in a few minutes I will once again enter the realm of crunch time and hair-splitting intensity surrounding the fourth floor of Taylor Hall.

For tomorrow, Stauffer requested that we have our 1/16" model finished (the 1/32" model was due Friday). Next week we will work on final drawings. The entire final project is to be completed by the upcoming Friday. As things wind closer and closer to the end I feel relatively comfortable with the end-of-the-semester studio work load. There is more work than last semester but it all feels manageable. Now, if only I didn't have any work due or finals to study for in my other classes!

Alas, the next week will be very busy for me and my classmates. The plus side of this for me is that I don't have time to anticipate returning to Chicago; I won't have any last minute homesickness to deal with because I have too many other things on my mind.

The week will go by incredibly quickly: things will wrap up nicely (thought not without some stress) and I will be back in my favorite home and city in two weeks! Now, it's back to work again.
