Halfway Done with College?!

I am officially finished with my Sophomore Year!  I am so relieved to have finished all my projects and exams.  It is a weight off my shoulders, for sure.  But I am sad that the year has come to an end.  I met so many new people and had so many fun new experiences that I have so many memories from!  Starting out this year, I only knew about 5 girls in my major, now I know all 30 and I love them all!  You truly grow so close to your classmates as you share in the good times and the bad times :)  I am proud of the work I accomplished and I really learned a lot in my studios and in my academic classes as well.  Sophomore Year was a tough but such an incredible ride!  Here is some of my work from the final projects in my 2 studios:  The first is a rendering of my counter space for my Roji Tea Lounge project for my Representation studio.  The space was created in SketchUp and rendered in Photoshop.  The next 4 images are renderings of my 2 Bedroom Apartment for my Residential studio.  The space was created in SketchUp and hand-rendered.










Have a great summer everyone!! :)

The beginning of the end..

Sophomore year is almost done!  Our last day of classes are next Tuesday!  I can see the end, but I still have a few projects to finish up!  This weekend will be my last weekend here, because I am leaving next Friday to go home for the summer.  And this Friday, today, is our Mayfest and Block Party.  Mayfest is a celebration of the springtime and the ending of classes.  There is a big party in Walnut Park on campus  with live music and food and just fun with your friends.  And then Block Party is at night with a live concert in the dome.  We always get really great artists that come and perform in the Carrier Dome each year.  This year the rap artist Drake is coming to perform with special guest N.E.R.D.  I am pretty excited, it is not my favorite bands but I still enjoy them so me and a bunch of my friends are all going together.
So I am not planning on getting any of my work done today.  It is a nice day to take a break and hang out with friends before the semester is over. :)
I am starting to put together my residential project and graphics project.  I am really improving in my renderings and am happy with my progress.  I presented my EEE projects yesterday, I had to present twice!  But I am glad it is over with!  I will be sure to post pictures of my finished projects once I am done.  I have been super busy for the last few weeks and am working hard to finish everything up!  It has been such a great semester and I have learned so much.
I hope the weather stays nice so I can enjoy the weekend!
