Whirlwind week

Whew.  Glad this week is over. Actually I think it may have been two weeks, but who’s counting?  Let’s see here… what’s been happening?  I’ll go backwards.

Yesterday was the studio exhibition.  I have to say that it was awesome.  Finally a group project that seemed to just work.  There was not much fighting which I contribute to our excellent class of head-strong yet pensive peeps.  Everything looked beautiful and we even had a visit from the dean…  I don’t really know about the response to the projects, whether they were understandable or not.  Honestly, I just wasn’t into mine that much – more interested in the hybrids class.  But I was really glad to see that some people in our class, who haven’t been really excited about projects recently, get into this one.  In my opinion, it was their energy that made this project shine.  I’ll post more pics at a later time – took video of it with the hybrids contraption, so that should be fun.

Hybrids…  crazy vids coming out of that class.  I suppose I need to go shopping for a rolly device to put the camera on.  Animation is due on Thursday and I might pull out my hair.  (Hopefully tugging on it will just make it longer, not fall out.)  See the hybrids page http://hybrids4504.wordpress.com/ for more weirdness.

Plant design…

I really need to find a style of rep that I like.  I’ve been using watercolor on my layouts and, while I like some of it, I think I would benefit from lifting some ideas from others.

Research methods…  that class is the bane of my existence.  I have a bibliography that is 8 pages long, but I can’t write a damn thesis statement to save my life.  This is what happens when your brain just refuses to think.  Until I get some serious down time, I fear that this class will continue to suck the life right out of me.

Structures / Construction class, whatever it is.

Ah, the balloon madness.  Very very cool stuff. 

The launch…

And a slide show from the booklet…

So, onwards and upwards I guess.  Why are weekends only 2 days long?  When is the US going to adopt the 4 day work week?
