DEAD.

I think this blog is pretty much dead.

It was originally a way for me to share my experience in architecture school with my family as well as an outlet for some of my personal creative convictions and expressions, but quickly I realized I suck at hastily wording my own thoughts as they happen. I hope this deficiency improves in time, especially since I have a very strong appreciation for the written word in communicating architectural and design ideas. I'd also like to think I'm a decent writer, but clearly this blogging format just simply hasn't been sustainable.

If you know me, I put too much importance on things...which essentially strangles me and my ability to act in any capacity and this blog is no exception from that. This is something I also hope improves in time. Closing this door is just so I can open another one and with school over for now I could definitely use the creative outlet. Hopefully now I can find that niche that will inspire me to create content instead of waiting for that content to come to me.

With that said, be on the lookout for a new url. Because I can't not have a blog. I mean, how could I be considered a hipster millennial if I didn't!?

Until then-

Commence.

I need to find some inspiration to continue to post to this blog, even if blogging (from what I'm told) is already dead.

But a quick update, I graduated last weekend from KSU with my Bachelors of Science degree in Architecture. That was a rough four years. Glad it's over, but like many things I'm left with the question of whether I did enough with my time at Kent. Immediately I can't help but feel regretful for the way many things turned out. But I need to remind myself that everything is a learning experience and frankly so little of what I learned from attending university was academic. It's cliche but it's also true. I just hope that Kent has steered me in the right direction for how I want to create my life and career from here and that my poorer than anticipated academic performance won't completely squander those dreams.

Oh Kent.

But on a more optimistic level, I really did have a great time at Kent. I have been so privileged to even attend school and to go through architecture school; I realize it's something few can claim. It's an experience that completely changes a person and makes one see the world and life different from most people on so many levels, I couldn't even begin to explain it. I'm scared but excited for my future, and I'm definitely going to miss the people that made this past 4 years so great, despite the torture we had to put up with.

Oh Kent, I'll miss you.

PROOF: That I've graduated.

Legal.

I just turned 21 two minutes ago.

And by the way, I made it back to the states safely, however reluctantly. More to come soon: semester wrap-up, final presentation, summer plans.

I'm in Kent now for the summer. Hitmeup, friends.

Finality sandwich.

Final reviews were two days ago.

In two days I will be on a plane back to The States.


Europe, I will definitely miss you. Don't make me leave.

Jetsetting.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too much has been happening for me to be diligent in my blog posts.  My apologies.  I'll try to catch up soon.  To come: mid-term reviews, second trip to Venice, spring break in Portugal and Spain, and much more.

Tomorrow I leave for Paris.  I'm a serious weekend warrior and I mean business.

Nothing new here.

Okay.

So I didn't post the process of the current project like I said I would earlier. Some things don't happen when you're so busy you don't have time to do or complete anything.

I'm sitting in the computer lab, letting my Rhino model simmer, thought I would post something. Basically, I already forsee not finishing this project.....nothing out of the ordinary basically, but I'm contemplating staying up until I turn this damn thing in on Wednesday. Sucks that today is Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Isn't this fun?
