taking a break from studio

It's been a couple of weeks so I figured it was time for an update.  April has been progressing slowly.  Lots of rain and lots of studio work.  But lots of fun things too.  This past Sunday marked the end of Greek Week - a week of friendly competition between the greek chapters on campus.  Events include an obstacle course, egg toss, and quiz bowl among other things, but my favorite is of course, the Dance Off.  And Alpha Sigma Alpha took first place this year!  All of our hard work paid off... and it was pretty fun, too :)  Our theme this year was Disney Magic and the first and second dance videos are on youtube.

I received my housing assignment this week!  I'll be staying with a couple named David and Cheri, along with Clare, another eMi summer intern.  It was such a relief to know I have a place to stay this summer!  I'm so excited to get to know David, Cheri and Clare this summer.  I know it will be challenging at times, but really good, too.

Plane tickets to Gabon are currently in the works... I talked with my project team leader this morning and it sounds like we should know the dates pretty soon!  It's still a little hard to believe that in just over a month I'll be in Colorado Springs, then Africa!

Support is going well!  Thank you so much to those who have already helped me my making a monetary donation.  I appreciate it more than words can express.  I'm blown away by the overwhelming support and encouragement I've received from my friends and family.  If you haven't donated yet and you'd like to, you can follow the link on the top of the page.  Even $20 makes a huge difference!

Time to get back to studio work... If I never saw a ski lodge again, I think I would be okay.  You know you spend a lot of time (maybe too much) on architecture when you're doing AutoCAD and SketchUp in your dreams...
