A Post, Just to Keep You all Updated on my Not so Exciting Life

So the picture really has nothing to do with what I'm going to write, but I thought that it was pretty cool. It's the Lake Point Tower in Chicago, one of my favorite buildings.

Anyways, nothing terribly exciting has happened to me recently. I've been really busy with classes. My drawing class is pretty fun, my other architecture class is ok, there's alot of work involved with it, but I'm getting through it alright. My other two classes are pretty good. Well, sorry it's short, I have to get back to practicing my architectural lettering. Talk to you all later!

My Semester, ...so far

Well, the semester is only a week old, but so far it's been pretty busy. And I have no doubt that it's going to get even busier. Classes started last Tuesday, I only had 1 class, History of Architecture II. There were only about 10 seats open when class began, and with over 1oo people in the class, it got pretty crowded. So we eventually got a new classroom with more seats. I think that Monday's and Wednesdays are going to get pretty stressful. I have a Nutrition class at 9 am which I like so far. But then I have to take a bus to NDSU's downtown campus, where I will be taking my 2 architecture classes. I got assigned quite a bit of homework so far, but it's only Monday and I'm almost done (my projects are due on Wednesday). I got assigned an isometric drawing with over 50 different objects, 5 object/ground drawings, and an assignment that required me to spend about 2 hours cutting black construction paper into 1"x1" squares (by the way, that's not much fun). I will be getting alot more projects over the semester so I guess I'll be looking forward to that.

I have managed to have some fun with all of this school work going on. I came back to school early because my boyfriend Alex was coming back early, and I hadn't seen him for over 2 1/2 months. Unfortunately, the day I got back I got the stomach flu so I couldn't really enjoy being back. But I got better pretty quickly, so I atleast enjoyed my weekend with Alex. This last weekend, I went to a hockey game. I hadn't gone to one for a long time so it was alot of fun. It was also pretty exciting because at the game I ran into a few of friends who I hadn't seen for a while. The hockey game was fun, we won 5-2! And the team is in first place!!!

Well, I guess that's all for now. Talk to y'all later! Have a great week!
