mid semester...already

it's hard to believe we're already into october. time flies to say the least. this time next year it's scary to think I'll be in a design job (fingers crossed) and not in syracuse.

thesis has officially become the four letter word that past fifth years have told us about. there's just so much information out there and so many interviews each of us wants to conduct it's impossible to see how this will all come together by the end of the semester. as for myself, two interviews, eleven user experiments, ten articles and about twenty books later I can't say that I've come to any conclusions...yet. but I still find the topic exciting. I hope I won't get tired of it before we actually get to the design phase next semester.

besides thesis id is currently holding a date auction as a fundraiser this week (which is really more pure entertainment than anything else) trying to organize a trip to greenbuild in boston in november which is exciting. we're also hoping to get to the new museum of arts and design in manhattan this year. I always love being able to take bus trips and I think it's great that we have the freedom to do that just to get off campus and see what's going on in design.

other than that not much else exciting right now. danceworks auditions on saturday which means early to bed for me on friday. and for a flash of syracuse history check out the new movie "the express" about ernie davis!
