Finals week!

As finals week is about to start, i am already feeling stressed about my tests and projects that are to come. My light design is now done! but i still have so much stuff to do. Just trying to get through the week and looking forward to christmas! This semester has gone by so fast and i cant wait to see what next semester brings! Happy holidays!

And more lights...

I think the sides are a little plain but i didnt want to add anything that would make the light overkill. But i beleive there is a way to still add a little bit without it being too much. I still need to figure out a way to keep the top on.

LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS!!!

 I think i have decided on the design i would like to do. i love the design it has in here, it reminds me of stars in a sky or something. Excited to see what the final project turns into!

done...THANK GOD

We finally turned in everything today and all i have to say is finaallllly! i was down to my last string of patience with some of the attitudes in my group! Im so ready for break next week!

Group Dribble

My group worked really well together besides a couple arguments every now and then, and the expected disagreements between the male and female point of view. BUT for the most part it was very fun and i liked getting to know more people in our class and it taught me how to work with different people. Thanks team!!

Dribbling around....

Today in class my group went to go take photos of places that have potential for placing our letters. Our word is dribble, and we were mostly looking at drains or tubes that water would come out of. We also went to the pool in Robinson and took pictures of the diving board. My group and I thought this was a strong spot and it will probably be where we put our word. it was a fun experience walking around with our group and going through some of the ridiculous stuff just to get pictures. When we were at the rec asking to take pictures the three boys were the only ones that had KU id's so they went back to take pictures. They had to get media passes and everything. The people working at the rec made this into the biggest ordeal ever and it was so funny. It was just for a mere picture or two of a basketball goal.  

Lost and Confused...

SOO i haven't blogged in...awhile...so i figured it was time. First of all, the lecture last night was one of the most annoying things about this project. The way the other class to the left of them room kept making rude comments and unnecessary cheering. You could tell that they were only commenting and making fun of the ones in their classes. But like when they would clap at the empty spots....i just found it rude and unnecessary. I thought last night was going to be literally a big critique but all it was, was a flashing of images every 2 seconds so all we did was just stare at other peoples images, and get annoyed with other people. I know it bothered other people around me as well and not just me.  
                    
       On the other hand i think this project could get really interesting especially when we get to the group portion of it. I know so far my group has some pretty good ideas to start with. Im really excited to see where it ends up and see the finished project. Our word is dribble and i feel like it may be challenging at times but i think with the right brains we can get a really good thing going! im really looking forward to working with my group because i havent had the chance to yet and they all seem like really nice people. I am looking forward to getting to know more people in this class. Yay!!! love new projects! Especially after how long the last one was! Cant wait to get the grades back for that and see how it went.

Interior Design

In my junior year of high school i took a interior design class. I dont know what it was about it, but i absolutley loved it! Just the concept of designing how a room looks and everything, it fascinated me! For some reason i just knew thats what i wanted to do! its like it just clicked with me or something. I loved my teacher also. She was my teacher for other classes i had taken at Aquinas, so i already knew her. She will always be my favorite teacher at aquinas. I had her for five classes, i felt like her room was a second home. I think she helped me alot when i was deciding what to do for college, and i feel like i can still go to her when i need help. As for the future, i would like to have like my own business or something and decorate peoples houses for them.

My Interviews

Over the weekend i asked a few people what they thought about this particular pair of sunglasses. Here were some of the best responses i received to my questions:

Q1: Do you think these sunglasses look like theyd be comfortable to wear and if youve worn them, were they comfortable on your face?

A: Well the plastic looks rather uncomfortable and the the way the sunglasses curve around your ear looks like it would dig into your skin.

Q2: What would you do to make it more comfortable? 

A: Make them form to your face more in a way, so they arent just sitting uncomfortably on your face, also make the nose piece softer some how.

Q3: What kind of materials would you do to make these sunglasses a better design?

A: I would think a better quality plastic would work. not a super nice plastic but anything more durable and better than the kind used here. 

Q4: If you were looking at these sunglasses, would you buy them just because they way they look? Do you think they have appealing and stylish design?

A1: No, they look like something my grandpa would have worn.

A2: Yes they have a sleek and modern feel to them that would look stylish and easy for anyone to pull off.

A3: They look like something youd find in a fraternity.

I thought the video we watched in class was so cool. It showed a full process of what it takes to make a new design of something. It helped me realize how the whole process works.
