Will spring ever get its butt in gear?

If i can work a full time job, go to graduate school full time and stay fit despite the horrid weather i think spring should get a move on it! i know the birds are at least back to my dismay; i ran into bed bath and beyond to pick up a few things (although my checkout lady was nice she was a tad challenged in the intelligence department and slow for my patience limit) nevertheless walking to my car (mind you, happy it was still light at 6:30) i found a fresh and thoroughly disgusting trace of bird. Anywho...spring is around the corner i just wish it would turn already!

If I had time and a group of friends who would actually commit and follow through this could be fun! Also if I lived in the city, which unfortunately to my dismay, I do not:(

Cute Little Quad

I just came across this image, well painting I guess by John Butler: a children's illustrator and writer. But how cute and fluffy are these little owls!

Thunderstorms...Ahhh....Summer

The Thunder rumbles beyond my bedroom walls, just now, and it reminds me of WARM rain, summer nights and that fresh and healthful smell of heated air and sunny days.  However, not to put a negative spin on this Oh so wonderful feeling, but it isn't even March yet and the thunder is a mere tease.  I can feel the warmth, not having to park in the garage, keep track of a glove (for if I were to lose it on the train, First I would never get it back but Second my one hand would be a frozen little 5 digit Popsicle)or bundle up, hunker down and march as fast as my little (well, actually pretty large) feet will take me to get to the next warm safe haven, to thaw before I have to make a break for it and just trudge onward.  The tension that consumes me when I get too cold and can't get warm again is what makes this season a miserable one.  So for this absolutely psychotic weather that we always have in Chicago, just taunting me with a thunderstorm (that I normally would welcome with open arms) is just plain mean (unless of course, it is a foreshadowing to a warming trend which leads to an early spring and even earlier summer season).  So please thunderstorm if you can understand I enjoy you but only if you bring a promise of Heat, Hot, Sun, Summer and Enjoyable Outdoor activities! Thank you and Goodnight.

Dezeen Watch Store

Dezeen Watch Store » Shop»Catalog Products»Cyclops

This watch has a unique design concept. Colorful and simple but classic lines and simple features.

i basically...you.

Go screw yourself your a lazy piece of scum...you sit on your rear all bloody day, throw a pity party for yourself and can't understand why people won't join you? cause its annoying irritating and downright rude, completely inconsiderate and selfish. Get a life. Im praying for you because you are so caught in the devils Ways and u refuse to get help so i refuse to talk to you or have a relationship with you. And its your fault, i have no guilt or remorse. Its your job to make it right. Im not going to do it. I don't have patience for the childish ways or you immature and pathetic demeanor. Stop being a child, grow a pair and do the right thing. Cause you've lost all respect from me and many others, that Which is not coming back in a snap, not by any stretch of the imagination. Get a grip and deal with it like an adult. The moods and bipolar, manic and extreme tendencies are enough to last a lifetime and im only 23, im done!

God is GREAT!

New job opportunity! it sounds perfect. Another aspect of the design process that will really give me some more experience and insight into the whole design field. I do need to apologize for my negative attitude lately it has really been bringing my spirits down. I feel horrible and regret some of my actions as of late. But such is life and God always has a plan that we cant always foresee. His plans are better than our own!

Where is the love?

I seem to have lost a lot of my drive for school. I don't know if its because of the winter, im unemployed, or because i feel lost in the program but i just don't want to do these assignments i just want to design and move south and into my own place and be on my own...is that so horrible to feel that way even though i have it pretty good at home right now?

Getting a cold.....

I haven't been sick/gotten a cold in probably 4 years!!!  I blame the snow.  I have been downing every kind of cold remedy I can, DayQuil, Nasal Decongestant, AirBorne, Vitamins, Halls Defense....I don't feel horrible but I don't feel up to par either :( I forgot how much I don't like not feeling on the top of my game.  I guess the timing worked out ok since I didn't have class this week and I can kind of take my time relaxing and letting my body just fight this off before it hits full force! (I hope).  

WHat the ****!!

I don't even know what to think about some comments that people make to me.  I want to transfer more than ever now and most definitely can't do it.  SCAD doesn't accept transfer credits into the masters program, unfortunately.


Gosh I can't continue in this program this way.  The instructors are so inconsiderate, I don't even know how to feel about it.  I'm just fed up and frustrated with so much right now....I need a vacation....I think...or i just need to get away, far far away, for a good chunk of time and do my own thing.  


I am stuck, almost trapped in this hellhole of Chicago and its suburbs....its brutal and detrimental to my health and sanity!

Things always...Always...happen for a reason! Its amazing what God does :)

I always worry too much and "stress" over every thing, especially when MY plans don't go as I would like. But God knows what is best, and his plan is not always what mine plan is, and of course his plan is always superior to mine.  However, in the end his plan is indeed better than my own and what i thought might have been a disaster or a catastrophe is actually a blessing in disguise.  


Praise the Lord, and thank him for the blessings he brings to my life each day!

Savannah College of Art & Design in Atlanta

I don't know if they accept transfers into the Masters of Interior Design Program at SCAD Atlanta, but I am looking into it.  Harrington just isn't satisfying my INTERIOR DESIGN wants and needs.  I understand that the research portion of the Thesis is fabulous practice and a great thing, however...that is definitely not my strength and I don't know if it will be that beneficial to me to in the long run.  


I think the SCAD program is more to my liking, including theory and methods but a little more Interior Design focused....Not sure yet but I am inquiring.  Because now would be the time to get going on transfer student paper work, take a trip down to the see the campus (and my brother) and scope out what may be a better solution for me in the long run.  


If I were to transfer there, I would then have a better chance of getting a job in Atlanta, after I get my degree, because I would most likely be able to get an internship of some kind while finishing my studies and then maybe, just maybe get a job offer?


  It sounds pretty ideal, expect for the part about moving and not really knowing anyone, But WHO CARES....I'm not thrilled about being back at home right now and not truly having a place of my own.  This really sounds great, no more BRUTAL winters, close to my grandparents & my brother...i dunno it is sounding nice to my ears...we shall see within the next few days if it is even possible. 


Hopeful & Interested :), but a little Nervous & Anxious too

Feeling ignorant and uncultured

I enjoy studio class discussions just to hear what people have to say, their experiences and opinions. Examples of spaces and places they have been and seen...it makes me feel sad for my own sake that i haven't been many places and am so uneducated in so many areas and topics. I know a lot of it comes with age and time...but I desperately need to get out of Chicago first and foremost and secondly out of the US and experience new things and places!!

Parking or Train....the Dilemma

So the dilemma is that I currently take Metra to get downtown to class 3 evenings a week.  I pay about $20 to travel on the metra each week which is about $80 a month.  Including another $30 approximately (maybe) in gas money just to get to the station.  THen of course there is the trek to and from the train station once I am downtown in the brutal cold, plus the urgency to get out of class in time to catch the train.  However, the train is an efficient way to get reading/work done while I am commuting. 


The other option perhaps (at least for the truely awful cold months) is the Standard Parking that is directly across the street from my school and is $40 a month.  Granted I have to pay for gas too which would be about $100 a month.  so...is it worth it to spend a tad more over February and March...to park at school and avoid the horrid weather...but also sacrafice that commuting time to get work done even though I have more time now to get work done at home(without both jobs to schedule in my days)....


I dunno, decisions and me don't always mesh well.  I would be satisfied either way, I think I would get a "bad/guilty" feeling no matter which one I chose. 


I would feel guilty paying more and not working during the time I am traveling home.  But I would feel utterly and completely miserable in the weather just traveling to and from the station each evening. 


Opinions anyone?

organized life

Starting my side business today. Going to my best friend's mom's house to organize her Christmas decorations. Getting paid to help organize things is fabulous. I hope it isn't the last time.

Research is making me depressed

So I am doing research for my Case Study...And happened upon the Ritz-Carlton Spa in LA.  There is a page which shows the current weather there....74 and sunny :(( its double sad when I look up at my thermometer and it says NINE, not ninety not even nineteen, just 9.  That is just plain mean!
