I'm back from the dead! After what looks like two months of hibernation, I'm ready to return to blogging. To save time typing for me and reading for you, I will give a short recap of all the shenanigans I have been up to since my last post:
- I did a LOT of studio work. Spent a lot of sleepless nights in my apartment/studio clicking my life away on my computer, but that's the un-romantic reality of the life of an architecture student. As usual, all the work I had to do somehow got completed on time, and I finished my first semester in Spain on a high note!
- I traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark in early December. The people there LOVE biking - it's fascinating; and they are very kind and friendly. But the days were short and I only saw the sun once for the three days I was there. The pictures will eventually make their way to my photo page, along with photos from my other travel breaks. I guess I have a lot of work to do on that.
- I applied to Grad School! That was a fun weekend...and now the waiting game begins.
- Last weekend I came back from my 12 day trip through Germany and Belgium. The trip got off to a rough start - lesson learned, never travel without getting sleep the night before - but it was a wonderful experience overall; spent Christmastime in Munich, traveled through Frankfurt and Cologne in Germany and Bruges and Brussels in Belgium before ending the trip in Berlin for New Years Eve. I'll give you a short photo diary of each day of my trip below:
Now it's back to "work." I'm currently back in the studio working in a short two week design charrette before heading off to Budapest for a week-long workshop (and, if all goes according to plan, a quick stop to Italy). The upcoming semester will be full of excitement: traveling, studio, job searching, grad school admission decisions, and *gasp* graduation looming at the end of a not-so-gloomy tunnel. Only four and a half months left in Spain and I've got to make the most of it!
