It's already Thursday this week and I'm not quite sure where all the time went. Ohhhh I remember, I've been trying to get work done in studio all week. The truth is...I've really been in my studio classroom since Monday but I haven't managed but to get a few hours of work done it feels like. My mind is not in the right place to do work. Instead of work all week I've been busy buying plane tickets & planning spring break & trying to learn hte metric system.
Only in Europe must you try and learn the metric system while listening to sexy bitch because your studio classroom is located over a Discotheque. Last night while I was working on my project and the place downstairs was bumpin over my itunes. Unbelievable.
This week has been a crazy jumble of group projects, class field trips and neglecting studio whenever possible. Yesterday I went back to Malmo & we went to the Boa 1 Project...It's a self sustainable housing development in the outskirts of Malmo, Sweden best known for its towering Twisting Torso. It was really interesting to be there and see all the different homes. When they were developing the project they opened up the plots of land to architects from all around the world. Essentially there are small villages within that are designed by a country such as Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark and so on. I was really happy to be there but it was very cold. Once I got back I met up with classmates for a group project with my professor. After which time I met up with other classmates to go visit a Museum for a Danish Design assignment. Followed by that I went to the gym, had dinner and was back at studio by 7pm. Looks like today will be studio all day followed by class this afternoon followed by Welcoming Kirsten to Copenhagen. She is coming to stay with Karaline from Florence. I wish she was bringing all the other Endicott kids will her, however I'm very glad she'll be here for the weekend!
A week from Sunday we have our week long study tour. We will be visiting Germany & Netherlands. We will be staying in many different cities and seeing A LOT of architecture. On our short trip we had about 9 site visits. They're going to drag our asses all over those countries. I'm so excited!! I will return and within 5 day Jacqui & Kelsey will be here!
My spring break plans have finally come to a final plan and I am beyond excited. I feel like I have a month of break basically because Jacqui and Kelsey will be here for a week and half before my spring break. Jacqui and Kelsey arrive on March 11-12th & we will explore Copenhagen until March 16 when we fly to Amsterdam for my birthday! I will return on the 20th and my spring break starts on the 27th! On the 29th I arrive in Florence where Miss Jacqui Bell will meet back up with me and we will be staying with Alex Bourret & some other Endicott guys. From Florence we will be going on a trip for Easter weekend with my fellow Endicott students from April 1-5. We're taking a cruise down to Corfu where we will stay at the Pink Palace resort for 4 days, and then return to Florence for a night. Followed by that Jacqui & I will be flying to Madrid to stay with my roommate Andrea until the 11th. See! A month of FUN FUN FUN!!
The following weekend from Spring break I will be going on a hiking/biking/canoeing trip in Sweden. Two weeks after that around May 6 I will be learning how to work a tall ship. This semester is going to fly by in the next few months. From the sound of things I will barely be in Kobenhavn. Crazy Crazy Crazy....
I misss everyone!! A lot! Hope everyone is doing just as well as I am. As it seems to be the current topic of debate in New England...I LOVE that it's snowing there! I actually miss the snow. Feel free to quote me on that next winter when I'm bitching.
Okay before studio I must do laundry & get to the grocery store. Better get going! LOVE to all!
