the clock is ticking…

This is what my plannner has looked like for the past three weeks! Lots and lots of things to do…Fortunately, next week is Spring Break, so the pages are much emptier. However, since next week is Spring Break, that means there are only two weeks left until our trip to New York! We still need a lot of things: funds, gifts for our hosts and sponsors, and sweet Stop-The-Bus t-shirts. I’m planning to spend a good bit of time in the coming days to make sure those things happen. It’s going to be such a rewarding experience, though. I really cannot wait!

Last night, I went to see the final round of senior merit presentations at Philips Design. (Their office was so cool!)

The presentations were also really interesting to watch. What I liked the most was how some of the presentations were more about their work framed in the context of their design philosophy, rather than just presenting their projects. It’s so interesting to hear about someone’s inspirations and motivations in relation to their work, especially when they’re practically your peers. It left me wondering who will standing up their from our class next year. I can think of a few people off-hand. It’s both exciting and terrifying to think of us being seniors next year! In many ways, I can’t wait to graduate. In others, it’s pretty daunting.

I’ll leave you today with a picture of my aunt’s new cat. I haven’t seen it in person yet, but the picture is a little freaky. Some animals are so ugly that they become cute again, but I feel like this cat is beyond that…

Here’s Belle:

busy, busy, busy!

Since last week was our review, I pretty much neglected everything that was due this week. So much for resting—I’ve been staying up all night trying to finish things up. It’s all worth it, though; next week is spring break. That means Jeff is coming into town—hooray!

He’s a real hoot..

At some point in the coming week, I’m also planning to make a t-shirt design based on our sweet chariot to NYC: the activity bus!

It’s going to be a real adventure!

on why I need to get more sleep.

Apparently, my brother called and talked to me tonight while I was taking a nap. I have no memory of this. Here’s a transcript from our Gmail chat about how it went down…

10:56 PM wlbryant@gmail.com: I apologize for making you wail in agony.

me: ?

10:57 PM wlbryant@gmail.com: When I called while you were asleep?

me: …?

do i not remember this?

wlbryant@gmail.com: LOL!

me: was it today?

10:58 PM wlbryant@gmail.com: Yeah, I called and asked you when you said you were free this week and you just kinda made a couple of noises, then I asked if you were okay and you just went, “EAUUGGHH!!!!” And I was so flustered I just hung up.

Nicole is witness!

So, um, that’s hilarious. Apparently I’ve finally mastered answering the phone in my sleep. Somehow I imagine that this will only work against me…

just a placeholder
