Well as you can clearly see by the date... it has been a very long time since I last "blogged". Fall and Spring semesters kept me very busy. With a few big projects, sophomore review, family, and so much more, there really wasn't a lot of time for anything else. Spring semester held a lot of different meanings for me. Exhaustion from late-nighters, all-nighters, super early mornings after, trying to get every project done on time but still looking good. Heartache from not getting the results I was hoping for from sophomore review, which was quickly followed by anger (why wasn't I good enough?), and then peace after talking to Steve (my awesome teacher) who helped me realize that sales and marketing is exactly what I wanted.
Frustration also played a key role. I love my major. I cant imagine doing anything else, but I so desperately wanted to be with my friends and having fun at the same time. It was hard hearing the fun things that they were doing, because I was constantly stuck in the studio. I was also frustrated with myself because even thought my projects were good, I knew I could do better and I just didn't or there wasn't enough time. I learned (and am still learning) the importance of time management.
But the most important emotion that I experienced in my sophomore year was elation. After every project was done I felt accomplished and elated to be finished with that assignment. Once the semester was completely finished and I had everything turned in... I was ready to cry. Tears of joy, exhaustion, and a little bit of sadness because it was done. But mostly tears of JOY because I had survived the Year of HELL!
When all is said and done I can truly say that I am so grateful for every experience I had this year. To my teachers, especially Steve, thank you so much for everything you did for me. Thank you for being patient, and supportive. Thank you for being available to us. If there is one thing that I love about the Interior Design major at USU, it is that the teachers truly care about their students and they make time to help us when we need it. I don't think there are may majors and schools who can honestly say that. To my friend in the major. Thank you for all you great advice, and help. To my studio late night friends, we had some good times, and thanks for all the laughs. To my other friends, thank you for being so understanding of when I had to bail. This year was hard and at times I wanted nothing more than to be with all of you, just chilling. To my family, especially my mommy... thank you for listening to all my crying and whining when times were really hard. I am so lucky to have such a great support system from ALL of you. This year would have been nearly impossible without all the help I received.
SUMMER
Its a good month into summer break now and mostly I have been lazy. This post should have been here a lot sooner. Living in Logan has been fun. I am desperately looking for a job and hopefully something comes along soon. I love my new roommates already and I love all the adventures that we have already had, and I look forward to more.
Stay tuned to read about my summer nights and awesome adventures in Logan, UT
