I can't believe tomorrow I'll be back, living in Troy again. I feel like this break has basically consisted of these two short days I've taken off from work... even though they have been filled with running errands and very little coffee. I can't wait to get back to RPI to see everyone and finally be without all of the boys... but I'm nervous about what verticals will be offered. I was so thankful when I got into Oatman's vertical, and I was really looking forward to it, but that semester was from hell. I've heard that DBell won't be going to India, and so I'm hoping he's planning on doing another awesome vertical. I really don't want to be stuck doing parametric bio-mimicry. I also can't do the PIP seminar again... I think... and I'm not sure I'd really want to I liked the people I was in PIP with at first and I don't think that could be topped again. It would also be nice if Kreuger were to do another vertical, but I haven't heard anything yet. I'll also be in his elective class so if he doesn't like me in one or the other class it could end up being a really tough semester.
Soo, I've updated the resume already... it's gone through probably five iterations since the semester ended, but I guess that's good. The portfolio is still trudging along. I'm not in love with my images or layout... I always think of what it could be if I really knew some fancy graphic design techniques, but that's not going to happen in a couple days. I also have to finish the writing portions for every project and for my design statement, anddd I think I need a few more images for the "MISC." section. This portfolio has also been a work-in-progress for over a year now, I think ever since I got back from Rome. It's been through three scale-changes, and by now, about two major layout and design changes. I think I'm liking the new color-scheme and organization a little better, but I wish I had the knowledge and patience to make better Rhinos, get better renders, and learn how to blend and organize these images in a more architectural way. I guess my work will stand-out as a more clean-lined, minimal artsy look... it does sort of stem from an artist's portfolio I saw a long time ago, but it's not quite as beautifully minimal as his. I guess I know my portfolio is at least zillions of times better than James's though.. and that thought can make me happy, especially if he's still set on doing those stupid-looking watermarks, that would just make my day. Okay, sorry that was mean, but I really, really don't like him.
It's strange not having much to say at the moment. Work kept me busy, and my mind from wandering too far into the future. It also helped settle me from worrying about money issues, and kept me from driving too much and visiting the mall and Starbucks every day. I was even thinking that I shouldn't have taken yesterday off because by 5pm I was already bored about of my mind... but it was probably a good idea over all. I still have to pack... everything haha and attempt to get up early, then pack the car and be prepared to set up everything... keeping in mind there's going to be an awesome party already Saturday night.
I'm also kind of praying this anthropology class might be exactly what I'm looking for. But I know the more and more I get my hopes set up for something, the more I'm ultimately let-down. I also kind of want to drop Structural Morphologies already... but I'm not sure if that would totally screw me over for thesis... kind of seems like it would. Yea, thinking more about it fitting in electives with required courses like Cities/Lands and Case Studies will probably end up being pretty tough, I don't want to get stuck in a tight spot with absolutely no options.
Ahh, alright well it's off to a hockey game for tonight... my final night of freedom I'll be watching RPI play Harvard and probably falling asleep without doing much more with this sad little portfolio, or advancing with anything related to packing.
