I have two final projects in my Interior Design studios. I am working on a sustainable two bedroom apartment design in my residential class. I have my floor plan just about set and now I am working on the decor of the space and drawing up perspectives. I also am working on a tea house for my representation class which will be located across the street from the Warehouse downtown. A client requirement is to be Japanese inspired, so I am taking my design influence from the history of geishas. I love their hair pieces that they traditionally wear and am pulling that design and putting it into the design of the tea house/cafe. So it has been a back and forth working on both of those spaces. I also have projects in my Materials class on a new sustainable material. In my Art History class I have a final exam and a final book project on design influenced by the different periods we have studied in class. And also in my Entrepreneurship class, I have 2 group projects and a final exam. I also have to interview an entrepreneur which I am excited about. The women I plan on interviewing owns a very prominent online modeling agency that she started and is also starting her own interior design company as well. See, I have so much to do! haha. But I will get it done :)
I haven't written in a while, but last week I performed in my dance show! It was so fun and all my friends came to see me dance, which I loved! I can't wait to do it again next year. I will miss weekly ballet classes, it was a great workout and so much fun and I loved all the girls I befriended in my class! Extracurriculars are such a great choice to get involved in here, it is a nice balance to take a break from classes and work.
I am excited for the summer, but I don't want the semester to end! I have loved Sophomore Year and it really flew by! :)
can't believe it's halfway over. entrepreneur sounds interesting. good luck with ur projects! xo
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am considering going to SU for interior design as well but I would also like to dance here.... I was just wondering what you thought about that and what opportunities you have for dance as well. I was also wondering what job opportunities you have once graduating, how secure is it that we will get a job right out of school?
Hi lmc0723,
ReplyDeleteSU has such a great Interior Design program. Have you visited the school yet? And we have a few dance groups here as well. I am in a non audition group, since I have no previous experience but there is also more advanced teams as well. I decided to join Orange Pulse Dance Troupe for a fun new thing to try and I loved dancing ballet so much! It is a nice break from classes. As far as job opportunities, I have not thought that far ahead, haha. But it is pretty good and its all about being proactive and getting internships early on, which can hopefully turn into jobs after school. And we have a great Career Services to help you out with that. Email me at bmdonnel@syr.edu if you have any other questions, I am happy to answer them!
